I saw a great bug out bag list here, or TGA, and I will be building a getaway bag for a little while, and it reminded me ... Where is the best place to buy high quality, non gmo, not monsanto fucked with, natural seeds for use, and for storage? One thing i wish i had invested more time into doing through my life, is spending time with plants.

If you have a local farmers market or organic farm, you can save seeds pretty easily from tomatoes and peppers. Some things can cross pollinate and not breed true (most squashes and melons). But you can try.
Potatoes and onions can sprout and you can plant those and save the seeds. A planted potato is a clone of the parent and will grow more tubers, but they flower and produce berries that are very poisonous, but contain seeds you can plant. Most potatoes are grown from clones as tubers or seed potatoes, but you can also plant potato seeds.
You can forage some local plants for seeds: wild onion/garlic onion is a good one. Ask gardening friends if they can divide some of their plant to you. Walking onions, raspberry/blackberry, rhubarb, horseradish… they all spread like crazy. And herbs can all be divided or propagated from cuttings if you use rooting hormone.
I highly recommended the book seed to seed if you are serious about saving seeds.
I like seed savers exchange for seeds to buy.
