On the contrary. I think everyone should try growing some of their own food. It's not only great for your physical health, but your mental health too! Also having some long-term food storage and water on hand is a great way to weather unexpected circumstances. It doesn't have to be an all or nothing thing. It's sort of like having a generator or battery storage for backup power... If everyone had it, the whole grid (or food availability) would be a lot more resilient. Imagine if all of Ukraine's residents had plenty of food and water in their homes for the next 2 months. That would be huge.


Being prepared by storing two months of food and water has nothing to do with growing your own food.

If your municipal water supply is compromise, the last thing you should be doing with water is pouring it on the ground.
