Steak, buy lots of steak. Meat is strength.

Some of the old voat preppers came here, I assume you are not alergic to nuts or dairy s/preppers/ ...maybe learn how to make soap, bags, tools and masks. We last only a few days without waters so store water of course, could be an idea to have oxygen and some biofarm greenhouse going. Water and canned food is step one but the good thing is you are already growing stuff, so you have a knife, farm tools and ammo? Canned seltzer water lasts indefinitely, adds fizzy pep to your water supply and supports your gut and helps relieve constipation! A mirror and ham radio can be good for communication. You need to hide food underground or lock it away and defend what you have.

You can dry, prep and salt the meat, this dry Meat, such as jerky, is a great way to get some much-needed protein. Rice, noodles and pasta store for years if you keep it cool and dry, Canned fruits, vegetables can keep you healthy. Do you have a bee farm??? because honey can keep you alive and honey can also be used medicinally. Pure alcohol can be made from any fermenting crops and is used for wounds or cleaning electronics, bad old wine is still good Vinegar can be an effective cleaning agent.. You need tins and cans and stuff preserved in jars, canned beans, some type of meat in a tin, Dried Fruit lasts over time, some Candy chocolate sugar can be good if you need a sudden energy rush and they won't soil over time. Energy/Cereal is also important and seeds for when it slowly gets back to normal.

In the worst case your water might shut off, the entire system might break down with Apocalypse Doomsday type Rioting, Protests and Looting, you could need guns, patriots, cameras and look out dogs to defend your people, family and town... and you might need to recycle things like lost food/waste to produce more soil / fuels etc You can buy up a bunch of tinned canned stuff store them in a room or cellar and if nothing happens then just donate to some chairty shelter for homeless. Some of the hippie alt food buddhist werido yoga community are good at making things with flour and knowing what wild weeds and plants are edible and good for putting into bread and cakes, you could always just invest in an old school plant book or survival book, Flour is the key ingredient for many great home made cooked foods. Cheese can be a good one because encased in European style wax it can last up to 25 years. Things like Salt and Gold have been trade items since ancient times, Gold is used in electronics, Silver is used in Water Filters and Salt is used as a preservative, that draws in moisture from other foods. Salt's dryness proprety is a barter currency it is helpful and prevents bacteria from spoiling food. Learn what plants, wildlife and fish live near you, use plants and weeds to make herbal teas, find other preppers and off the grid home stead people. Have some sort of stove, moulds, pit fires or work tool shop in case you have to start making stuff, buy a big DIY book because books will be importnt if the interwebs is down.

a guy who survived Bosnia between 1992 and 1995 said women will whore themselves to eat ...maybe also spread STDs during end times? and candles, lighters, antibiotics, batteries are important...people can kill each other over these items or they are important for trade / barter. You probably need a team,you cant watch out 24/7 and living alone can get you killed by another bandit mafia raider team. https://www.silverdoctors.com/gold/gold-news/one-year-in-hellsurviving-a-full-shtf-collapse-in-bosnia/ 'Money soon became worthless.'...The streets were blocked by wreckage and by abandoned cars...Every tree in the city and in the city park was cut down for fuel in the first two months.

People died foolishly quite often. Simple diarrhea will kill you in a few days without medicine, with limited amounts of water. There were many skin diseases and food poisonings… nothing to it. Many used local plants and pure alcohol — enough for the short-term, but useless in the long term. Hygiene is very important, as well as having as much medicine as possible — especially antibiotics

Without electricity for cooking and heat, we burned anything that burned. Furniture, doors, flooring: That wood burns swiftly. We had no suburbs or suburban farms. The enemy was in the suburbs. We were surrounded. Even in the city you never knew who was the enemy at any given point.

If I do nothing else, this is #1 prep food item.

Look into freeze drying, you can preserve meat for a long time.
