I have been starting the process of canning food and trying to be intelligent in general about not being reliant on my grocery store in case SHTF here. Anybody have ideas on how to better expand that?

Don't focus on TEOTWAWKI. Focus on being ready for what you KNOW will come. Do an analysis of threats in your locale....ice storms, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. Next layer in environmental risks...are you near a train track that is used for industrial transportation (risk of chemical spill) or in the down wind of the prevailing patterns from a nuke facility, and so forth. Then consider the social environment in which you live and then expand to a radius that you think appropriate for what might impact you...maybe 100 miles? Set up a network - a MAG is necessary in this wider concern (don't think you can go it alone....you can't) but you need a wider network with communications in order to gather information.
Within that rubric stock AND BUILD SKILLS accordingly. One structured method is the rule of threes for survival...you can survive 3 minutes without oxygen, 3 hours in harsh conditions without shelter, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food. Weave sanitation/medical and defense/protection in as needed.
i think someone read the same book i read :)
I was like, is that Hawaiian???
