Plan 1 gallon per person per day — about half for drinking, half for cooking & hygiene. A family of 4 for two weeks ≈ 56 gallons; a 55-gal barrel ≈ ~14 days. Rotate stored water every 6 months, and keep a filter for any backup source.

Picks — Best value: a countertop gravity system. Cheapest that works: a Sawyer Squeeze. Most complete: gravity for daily + a Sawyer for go-bags + RO if your tap carries metals.

⚠️ The rule: low-acid foods are pressure-can only; tomatoes need added acid. Methods follow USDA / NCHFP tested guidance.

You need both — fats that take high heat, and good everyday fats.

Fats are the hardest food group to grow, so plan to stock or render — roughly a gallon of cooking fat per person a year.

Pair a gas generator with a battery bank. Charge the bank in short bursts, then live silently off the inverter — only fire the generator up again when the batteries run low. An inverter generator throttles to the load, so kept lightly loaded (about a third of its rating) it sips fuel with the least engine stress. Power mainly a fridge and small electronics off the bank and you can stretch close to 2 days on a single gallon — versus a generator running around the clock.

Solar & wind: clean, silent, no fuel — but run the payback first. Years to break even ≈ system cost ÷ yearly fuel/grid savings. Home solar often lands ~6–12 yrs; a small panel + battery just to guard the freezer pays back fast in food you don't lose. Wind only earns its keep with steady, open-site wind.

Backyard eggs run about $2.50–3.00/dozen in feed once hens are laying, versus $4–5 at the store — so a small flock roughly breaks even to modestly nets out, and earns its keep most in scraps eaten, manure for the garden, and eggs on hand when the store runs short. The real win is resilience, not riches.

Tip: onion, parsnip & spinach seed is short-lived (1–2 yrs) — buy those fresh. Tomato, bean, pepper & squash keep 4+ years if cool & dry.

It's barter (goods for goods), so leave money out of it. Your goods on the table is the price of entry.
