    No prepp for me.
     31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdomand his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

    We could probably survive for years on ground elder... :)

    Seriously though, I have to prep. every winter, as we live half a mile from a road and can get heavy drifting snow. I lay in stocks of all basic dry goods, so I can make bread etc, cans and jars and longlife milk and juices. Plus food for the cats, dogs, sheep and hens, and make sure there is firewood for the logburners and candles in case of power cuts.
    We were cut off for several days a few times this last winter, and once we cooked Christmas dinner on the barbecue and log burners.
    Our water comes from our own spring, my plants are fertilised with the contents of the sheep shed and seem to do well on it, and although I don't forage much I do know which plants could be eaten. I do pick the wild bilberries and blackberries though.
    I live in a subartic climate, so everyone living outside of towns prepare. As an example one morning I woke up and couldn't shift my door. Looking outside, I saw that we had gotten 80 cm of snow that night. 
    Heat, food and water is something everyone need to have.

    I always have a chest freezer full of food(mainly home grown) and a cupboard full of cans.  I have enough so that if bad weather hits, I can stay in for a week if necessary. We have candles for power cuts, and there is always the barbeque.
     As for the sort of anarchy that would hit after a nuclear war, I'm not sure I want to survive for long.
    Are you shure it would be anarchy? I know you live in a country where violance is common, but during the last starvation in my country, people remained somewhat civil. :)

    Edit: Sorry, mixed yours and another post. :)
