What did those without the weight of gold to trade for rice eat? *Shoe

Cheaper and simpler would be to have enough
20~50 Lb Bags Rice put away to feed four for
Six Months.

Or simply to Store some Heartland Emergency
Food {Freeze Dried}

Have a Home "Larder" with a Weeks, a Months,
3-Months, 6-Months, a Years Supply of Food
for a Family of Four to Eat and Live-On.

None of the above is any good without Water
and having a Safe Water Supply for your
Family that is Independent from the Public
Water Supply : Well, Pond and/or Lake and
the means to ensure that it is Safe to Drink
-both- Filtered and Treated for Drinking and
Cooking; and the ability to do this for a Year.

Plus the Ability to Protect Yourself and your
Family for a Year and Hunt for Food for a Year :
An old 30-30 Winchester with 1000 Rounds
of Ammo will go along way to accomplish both.
