Summer veg is all nice and dandy but basic survival food is perennial winter food, nuts and fruit.

At 8000 calories per litre, I just stashed about 1 million calories of extra virgen olive oil, 5kgs olivas muertas - that's about 600kgs of pressed olives and 20kgs of almonds.

Chickens need imported feed to lay at full speed but if it ever got ugly, they can get by on forage and keep us in eggs.

Meat is obviously another source of food :) but, here's an unpopular observation - if it's in the deep freeze, that doesn't count as secure food.

For a bit of food in reserve, think of food sources that require no tech to store.

Hope it never comes to be vital.
