We don't go way overboard, but I look at the history of the struggles of a LOT of folks back in the depression days. On my Dad's family - their farm saw plenty of desperate folks who were on the move to live with relatives etc to try to eek out necessities to live on. My Dad's family never turned anyone away - people would help on the farm and have some great meals. They had everything they needed - the only way they knew there was a depression was from folks stopping by for a helping hand.
Back then, people ate weeds like Lambs Quarter and dendelions.... I have mentioned before - that back in the civil war days, pioneer days, they roasted dandelion roots and chickory roots to make coffee. So many people were in desperate times.
Today, it seems most believe that those times couldn't happen again. Between WWIII and our economy crashing via our national debt - it's possible more and more.
Our country is falling apart politically, domestically, spiritually, and our national security is glaringly compromised, and our gov is out of control corrupt up on high.
Remember bar shelves when covid hit? What would happen if something worse happens?
It's a fun hobby for me and it's like insurance you hope you never have to use.
