Thanks, my plan is not to store food. I agree your advice is excellent for the USA, But here, on this tiny island, the UK, with 70million people and not much free space... my plan is to get off the island and onto the European continent, and then... well, that would be telling but over the years I've worked out a number of routes and places that are remote and likely to remain sparsely populated.
youre right tho, the free food from apps is not a sustainable plan. its been more about building resilience in myself, in that I do not know where the next meal is coming from, am not choosing what I eat, east what is available, and see how it affects me, both energy and health wise, but also emotionally, which is equally important, and the survival scenarios mean also preparing ourselves psychologically
its tough to force hardship on myself, but also hardening
thanks for the welcome!
