Most of the people (or peasants) in those regions are not armed. A
well armed populace quickly turns roving thugs into fertilizer...

Sounds like a job for the local blacksmith...
Replace those canning jar lids?
Long before canning, people dried food...of all sorts... And don't

Case in point. You think I am a sole survivalist trying to defend my

I agree. Day Brown (whos' posts don't show up on my server) should google
and read an article by Duncan Long titled "Backpack Survivalism" (it may be
titled Backpack Survival).
If I were a mabu, why would I want to raid a garden ? IMO to much work. If I
were mabu, I'd simply wait untill you've harvested, canned, dried, etc...
Then set up a sniper position outside of your dwelling, kill you and simply
rob you of not only your food, but all of your hard work that went into the
prepping of that food.
The best way to protect your stuff is simply to lay low, and not tell the
world you have food, supplies and other goodies.
A nice 8 foot high privacy fence will help protect you from nosey people,
and will do a lot to protect you from snipers (kinda hard to snipe someone
if you can't see them)
IOWs a fence around your yard and especially the garden and no one will know
you have a garden unless you tell them.
