Six months worth of stored food would be a small safety margin. I know of a Mormon church that requires the man set aside two years worth, before he is allowed to marry in the church. This to prove he can provide for a family.
( I used to work in a Mormon owned machine shop.)


I'm Mormon and I never heard anything like that before.. must be one of those offshoots of the LDS church..

Yeah, I know. It is not a standard of the religion, but of that particular Church. (I still have a book of Mormon from thier attempts to convert me, as I was the only non-Mormon employee)

An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.
