In farm country with the big ranch houses a lot of people are prepared to eat out of their basement in case of a blizzard or massive flood. It tends to be economical anyway to have a long term food strategy instead of running to the store every few days like I do now as an apartment dweller. If we talk about some kind of crisis that could affect the nation or world for years, everyone would have to adapt to and find a way to be productive and get by. I guess in a time of crisis a lot of people find out what is really important to them and come out better for it even if they have less in the way of material things.
