Week 0. The number is zero.
I spent twenty years running companies where somebody else decided what a good year looked like. I was good at it. I never once picked the thing I was being measured against.
So I picked one.
Six rows — carbs and veg, protein, eggs, fat, berries and mushrooms, firewood. Each measured in months of winter it covers. Six months means self-sufficient. The headline number is the weakest row, not the average, because a cellar is only as good as the thing it runs out of first.
As of 25 July, that number is 0.0. Carbs and veg are 6.0 months short. Firewood is the only row not marked critical, and it's at 4.2. Spent so far: €680 on kit, €119 on food.
The question is whether two people can get from there to a repeatable six months in one year — for roughly the €6,000 that six months of winter food would have cost us anyway. Not living cheaply for a winter. Paying a bill once instead of every year forever.
I don't know if it works. It goes backwards more weeks than I'd like.
This room is where the meter gets posted every week, including the bad weeks, and where you get to tell me the plan is wrong. I'd rather hear it here than find out in March with an empty cellar.
No course, no system. I'm not ahead of you. I'm at 0.0.
Introduce yourself — two lines:
1. Where are you right now?
2. What's your three days? The thing you'd run out of first if the supply stopped — food, money, heat, whatever it is for you.
Mine was three days of food and an impressive quantity of coffee. I read all of them.

An ex-CEO's meter: six rows, months of winter covered, updated weekly. Zero to self-sufficient in a year, for €6,000. Where the numbers get argued.
