Below the fold is a guest submission from TheOilDrum.com reader mnborn, a data analyst living in rural Minnesota. It is more of a request for knowledge/advice than our usual essays but food storage in northern (or southern) climes certainly is one basic necessity that is largely supported by fossil fuel powered JIT inventory systems. (Currently most of us use grocery stores as our winter storage caches).

Below the fold are her questions. Old-timers please help her out...;-)

“Of all races in an advanced stage of civilization, the American is the least accessible to long views… Always and everywhere in a hurry to get rich, he does not give a thought to remote consequences; he sees only present advantages… He does not remember, he does not feel, he lives in a materialist dream.”

—Moiseide Ostrogorski (1902, 302-303)
