Very true Chad. We have also played with solar dehydrating which also won't work in several scenarios such as a super volcano or radioactive problem. But knowing your options and playing with them now may give us the knowledge to deal with and adapt to what comes. The key for us is preserving food that we use in normal times as well. My backpacking hobby gives me a good test lab for the foods we do obtain through the old methods.
Having a half ton of wheat or rice or beans in the basement isn't going to solve much except give extreme gastrointestinal problems unless you know how and can process/utilize it. And life will be much better if you also have the companion foods to go with those grains.
