How do I avoid being overwhelmed by the crazy weirdness that seems to surround discussions of food storage?
Focus on specific goals: 1) Gradually build your year supply of basic dry goods; 2) Purchase a three-month stash of the canned, dried, and bottled ingredients you normally use; 3) Get two weeks of water stored and 4) a little extra cash set aside. By accomplishing those four steps you’ll have better insight into whether or not it’s necessary to learn how to make cheese or harvest your own antibiotics.
