๐ The story
Autumn is borrowed time. Every harvest, every preserve, every log of firewood is a bet against the cold that's coming โ because once the first snow falls, the shops are closed to you, and your family lives or dies on what's already in the pantry.
๐ The goal
Enter winter with enough stored food and fuel to survive it **without buying anything** once the cold begins.

๐ก Strategy tips
- Preserve aggressively in autumn โ canned goods and stored produce don't spoil the way fresh food does.

- A few hardy crops can be grown indoors or in a greenhouse to stretch your stores.

๐ฅ Want it harder?
- Double-length winter: no spring thaw until you've survived twice as long.
