I grew up in the woods and on the lake so hunting and fishing are my pastime lol. This fall I'm planning on looking into a pressure cooker and supplies and try my hand in canning. Gardening I've done some of that. But live in a town home right now so that's not much of an option. Although my wife wants to learn to garden. So if were still stuck their next year. I'm trying to figure out a way to build a shelf system for a sort of make shift garden. But we put a pot with a cucumber plant in a pot looked great was going good. But all of a sudden it just wilted and died. So its not going to be near as easy as I figured it would be. But we will try again next spring. And that's another reason to get the pressure cooker and learn to can. But there's definitely going to be a substantial initial investment I've seen oh well. I'm also thinking about getting some literature and studying up on how to make a smoke house. Seems to be a decent way to preserve meat. Id think about dehydrating but without power to run an oven or dehydrator it seems kind of pointless since idk how else you'd do it.
