Wish I'd started building up long-term water storage a lot earlier. All the food and gear don't mean much if water’s limited or contaminated. Curious what others regret not prioritizing—what prep do you wish you'd focused on from the get-go?

Honestly, I wish I’d learned proper canning way earlier—so much produce went to waste over the years. Has anyone tried fermenting veggies as another way to store harvests?
