How would you Thrive in WW2-style rationing of food and fuel?

We are inarguably in wars that could become a world war. And our leaders regularly talk about restrictions that would lead to a less-resource intensive future.

Rationing – how would you handle rationing fuel to a few gallons a week? (WW2 had rations of 2 gallons of gasoline).

I still have Chestnut seedlings, elderberry cuttings, comfrey crowns and root cuttings available. Adapted to the Midwest.

Seeds and trees have “memory”. They thrived and reproduced in a certain climate.

Often when you buy chestnut trees or seeds online, you have to buy from nurseries in the Northeast or Southeast US, or the Pacific Northwest.

Take it from us, trees grown in those climates do not do well in Kansas.

Buying from our Kansas homestead, with nut trees grown and adapted to the Midwest, will make them much more likely to be successful on your homestead or in your yard.
