Redundant Systems for Survival


"Preservation is food security at it's best"
Avais Dervaes


The survivalist's creed is to have redundant (multiple) systems for everything--water, food, power, medical, etc. With food that means that you need to have a reliable system of obtaining food if the main one is on the fritz. For instance, if you rely totally on the supermarket for all of your food needs, then a trucking strike happens and the markets aren't getting fresh supplies of food--what will you do? A redundant system would be to have your own garden that you could eat from. Another system is canned, freeze-dried and dehydrated foods. Bartering with people that have the foods you need will also come about, a third system. Can you think of more systems? Please share your ideas!
