Wild rabbits live on weeds.
Domestic rabbits do better on pasture grass...but don't let my knowledge and experience  keep you from  having your  opinions.

I can toss handfulls of cereal grass seed over my shoulder blindfolded and it will grow. It helps to scratch the seed in with a rake. 
Peas of all types grow very well on poor land and will improve the soil.
Same goes for potatoes...except do yourself a favor and grow them inside a stack of tires and place copper foil around the top rim of your "planter box" to deter slugs.. Keep adding tires and soil as the plants grow. The idea is to keep the plant 3/4 of the way below ground to encourage more spuds to form.

If you are convinced that I am wrong and you are right...don't let me stop you though....

 

No, actually a lot of what you said makes good sense, especially with what crops are easy to grow.

As for small game, like wild rabbits, in a real SHTF scenario, every guy with a shotgun, pellet gun or a .22 will be thinking the same thing - "I can always harvest rabbit".  If the city folks ever make it out past the burbs alive, they will be attacking anything with 4 legs on it to feed themselves and their families.   All I was pointing out is that If you have domestic rabbits or chickens, you should be able to sustain that for awhile so long as you have enough food to feed them.

The real question is: 1) do you stock up on MRE's which might last you a year; or 2) do you stock up on seeds, fertilizer, etc. to try and grow your own food?  I mean, if you can do both, then by all means, do both. But, if I had to choose one over the other, I think I'd choose a years supply of MRE's.
