Do You Really Need a Survival Food Pantry?

I consider that question in our latest video:

It’s not that having a big, well-stocked survival pantry is a bad thing. It’s that we don’t really need it.

It’s a good idea to keep extra on hand in case of emergencies. But some of that extra could be in the ground, or in the form of storable crops that don’t requiring canning, fermentation, freezing or dehydrating to keep for many, many months.

Canning lots of produce is time-consuming. If you back up a bit and instead grow more crops that keep without help, you can eat year-round without as much effort.

At least in milder climates.
