Yep, water and canned food works better than gardens. Gardens are OK to supplement, but canned food is where it's at...Last for years if stored right too.
Canned food is what feeds armies.
Dried goods also.
I got a boatload (well, a small boat) of egg noodles and the dried in-an-envelope gravy mixes, that sort of thing.
One day, just to try it, I cooked up some noodles, made some gravy, and had it with peppercorns and home-grown oregano.
Hell, it was delicious!

Ummmmm, now where do those things in the can come from?
Maybe the goobermint magically turns our taxes into that food that goes in those cans. (Actually, we are buying quite a lot of it from places like China, Mexico, Peru, etc., etc. - try looking really close like in the expiration date printing on apple juice - yep Product of China, even though my own asparagus is producing right now, grocery store has it from Peru, and tomatoes from Mexico at $1.98 a pound...)
I say, grow your own, can/freeze/dry it - eat it and you have my own vertical integration thing going... Keep the radicals/foreigners out of that loop. Sewage fed shrimp or fish just don’t appeal to me - even if packaged with a really pretty label.
Even with American grown veggies, my spinach didn’t come through that washing plant that also washed 26 million other servings each week. Lowers my risk...
This time of the year, I try to have 13-14 months worth of home preserved food on hand - that way even with a complete crop failure one year, we can still make it till the next garden season.
It is amazing how much you can grow on 2 acres and some sweat and toil...
