My goals: completely debt free, land to grow and raise food, months of food and water storage. From there, reduce reliance on stores and services and increase the ability of self-sustainability. This is not doomsday prepping, this is having redundant and back up systems and processes. We are not homesteading or building bunkers, just wanting some redundancy and safety nets. This will help in economic downturns or if we have trouble securing gainful employment. We are only just starting, but it already has helped. We had enough toilet paper on hand despite also having a bidet to more than outlast the great COVID toilet paper shortage of 2020.

For a real doomsday type event, I don’t think hardly anyone outside of high government positions who will be whisked away to underground bunkers with underground farming will have much of a chance.

I would love to have land and be less reliant on stores. That would make it more likely I can quit my job. I hate my job.
