Our house looks like a supermarket/ hardware store/ armory. It’s just part of living out in the sticks.
I don't have a single memory of living where there wasn't a cellar, a garden, case full of ball lids and a pressure canner in the cupboard, guns, ammo, reloading equipment, a wood pile,etc...
We're canning green beans right now. We don't do this out of fear, we just don't like wasting time and gas running to the store every little bit.
