Is it legal to grow poppies for personal home medicinal use? ;-)
And, do you have any seeds you want to share?
Just be sure and invite Rush L. To your bunker. He will have plenty of pain pills :biggrinjester:

As far as the tv show goes, "they" say that if you give up your location and prepping supplies you're really not a prepper. You need a solid group of family and friends to help but not millions of them.

I have chronic pain. I am prescribed 3 pills a day but do my best to never take all of them, I'll take 1 or 2 a day and then stash the extras.

I believe your last statement to be correct. If you do not have enough water to be able to add to food to cook it, you have a much bigger problem than just the food.

Sufficient stocks of water or the ability to make large quantities potable water remains one of the biggest challenges for preppers who are trying to expand planning horizons beyond 30 days. We have an RV with a 60 gallon fresh water tank. It will last my wife and I quite a while. After that, things get more difficult, assuming that the faucets don't work.

I've got a tiny creek which goes dry during the hot dry summer, a 1/4 acre pond not tied to creek, 2 55 gallons drums to catch rain water and some bottled water. Need some purification, Berkey/Katadyn thingies. Wish we had a well but they cost quite a bit. Water is the essential ingredient for life.

Between all the political unrest and storm season approaching, I'm thinking that it might be wise to should start stocking up on food a bit. Does anyone know a good place to get a large variety of canned soups? Kroger's selection is a bit too "narrow and deep", so to speak.

We don't eat much soup. Cream of mushroom to use in other recipes and a couple cans of chicken noodle for when someone gets sick. We do love clam chowda and have a case.... or so, of it. Not canned, Ramen noodle soups? Boxes and boxes of ramen noodles are stacked everywhere and stuffed under the bed. We shop at the regular grocery stores, Brookshires, HEB, wal-mart, Sam's and buy a couple extra cans/boxes every time we shop.
