People think I'm joking, but most of our spices are imported. If SHTF, there won't be anymore deliveries and the existing supply will go quickly. You can't eat gold or lead and if you think you can fend off everyone by owning a million bullets, you are mistaken. A lot of people fall for the trap of defending in place. There's a time and place for that strategy but it's a long term fail. History teaches that little lesson.
