    Everybody should spend some time developing cooking skills because buying processed and mass produced food is gonna be more and more of a gamble as we re-enter The Jungle.

      I’ve been doing a lot of canning and dehydrating lately to make shelf stable food and it’s pretty fun. However, it only really makes sense if you can grow food or otherwise have easy access to picking (like gleaning) and if you have shelf storage space. The different pieces of gear also add up in terms of cost, especially if you are buying new. Used stuff is reasonably common though. My canned tomatoes are better than what I get in the store for sure though.
