INCREASE RESILIENCE AND SECURITY, DECREASE COST AND WORRY

The show:
Survival Podcast — 15 Jun 2010

Background:
Food storage is not just a nutty thing twitchy-eyed loners do. It's a basic approach to making sure our households can sail though troubled waters without undue hunger or time wasted standing in lines at grocery stores (or FEMA camps). It takes a little more effort to start a rotational food storage system than it does to buy groceries each week as you need them, but the security and long-term cost benefits are clear.
