We normally get
90-100 days growing season. These frosts are trashing everyone's gardens.
And I'm worried as hell about the price of fuel trashing the national
food distribution system. Alaska has two days worth of food on our
grocery store shelves.


Buy a canner like I just did. Start canning your own veggies as we will be
doing from now on.


Every Actual Alaskan(tm) owns a boiling bath canner and a pressure
canner. I'm canning red (sockeye) salmon tonight. And we all have root
cellars.

Mom canned a batch of razor clams that we caught when we visited alaska.
Mom was adept with a pressure cooker over a campfire. :-)
She also canned the one large salmon dad caught.
