Subsistence farming, coming to your neighborhood real soon...

Learning to do this is a real good idea. It does take a few seasons of
practice. FWIW, I have a fair bit of expertise and experience here.

If you have the optimism about our economy of Iggy, you're wasting
your time. if you have the pessimism toward our economy of Gunner and
think the great cull is coming; you may also be wasting your time as
gangs would take it all.

My guess is in the middle. We are likely to see a giant reset where a
huge amount of wealth is lost with huge supply problems. I am hopeful
that we will eventually emerge from this. But, IMHO we will have a
time where things will not be at all comfortable if you can't fend for
yourself. At least, I think its prudent to plan for this possiblilty.
