“In terms of actual survival in the event of a catastrophe or supply line breakdown. I think the best idea is this:

Buy 50 lbs of seed potatoes.

Find as many out of the way - park or backwoods places as you know of and plant one or two there.

98% of the population would not know a potato plant if they tripped over it, and the yield is high enough you will get a pound or two of potatoes at each site.”

I like the way you think. As I prepare, I can’t help but worry about the rich target I’m planting on my back by planting my garden. “Stealth” gardening is a good idea.
