- hef19898 3y agoMost famines were too long and large for stockpiles, they were always a general avaiability and distribution problem (holodomor, Ireland, Bengal, Africa multiple times). Fun thing so, society as whole never really collapsed, not even during the Plague.
- _yb2s 3y agoIt’s not unusual for Preppers to store a year of food or more for the entire family. That absolutely would make the difference in surviving even a many year famine. The idea that storing large amounts of food to prepare for shortages is useless is a really silly concept considering how widespread it is amongst humans and many other mammals.
