January 24th, 2012 at 10:23 pm
I love gardening, great for survival or just Savin money.

@mosbysmen Nope and we should, they grow them in our area. Good source of protein too.

I haven’t viewed all your videos yet but I’m very interested. I’ve just started working on my family preparedness and have started a garden as well. Thanks

Use raised beds in climates where it rains a lot (West Coast). The raised beds prevent root rot. Don’t use raised beds in dry climates (Mid-West). Use trenches in desert climates (Middle East). The trenches collect water instead of shedding it.

Zucchini makes good pickles — good way to store it

@daveslamer dooooodd you don’t have to watch!
January 25th, 2012 at 2:22 am
You can store zuchini for several months using fermentation. I think that would be concidered an old fationed way of pickling, but don’t take my word for it. Nice movies.

@KingRyltar Actually the “Idaho” thing started as a joke. We were taping some stuff at our hunting camp and didn’t want to say where we were so jokingly I said “in Idaho.” We are actually in the southeast. Lots of good folks in Idaho though
January 25th, 2012 at 3:58 am
woo hoo, just heard your in Idaho, great to know.
See’ing as I already have a friend in Idaho, and we are going to be starting up a multi family “HomeStead” -coughs in the mountains there.
We have prior cattle farming, and small scale garden farming experience. But it is always safer in numbers, when the worst happens.
Would like to make and stay in contact with you. ty

Great videos. Very informative. This year was the first year we did a family garden. This year I am going to have a couple hidden ones too. Keep up the good work.

Just identify it as purslane and make sure you like the taste of it first.
This is because once it’s there, it will reseed itself indefinitely and probably will never leave that spot until you eat it and every seedling.

@bioshipcoccinellidae Thank you.
January 25th, 2012 at 6:03 am
You seem to have the weed Purslane on the ground by those squash.
Spread their seeds around, they’re pretty much a no-input crop and have more nutrients than most cultivated plants.
From my experience they don’t seem to compete with the “real” vegetables for resources, either.
January 25th, 2012 at 6:30 am
Yes, 1jks, its easily said than done.

@ looseal22 He is teach those that wise to learn, can’t make the horse drink. Trying to wake up Sleeples is hard. Problem is most are to busy worrying about the size of there rims or cell phones. Investing money, time, emotion on things that don’t mean anything, ignorant victims of the trapped sets by some Edward Bernays disciple.
January 25th, 2012 at 7:15 am
Thanks for sharing your experience and educating those like myself who just now are beginning to prepare for such events.
God bless!

@XRRep This wouldn’t feed any size “army”. Why do you think their is no chance of a nuclear war? And not to split hairs but the correct translation was “thou shalt not murder.” Study the OT and you’ll find numerous stories of killing by righteous people. “Saul has killed his thousands, David has killed his TENS of thousands”, yet David was called “A man after God’s own heart.” We do NOT have to be weak to be Believers.

hate to be negative here. if people do not have a standing army on there land in an apocolips, the Biggest military will raid. Just like what happened to Ukrainian farmers in the early 1900′s World Wars. Russian Army took all livestalk and food. I have seen a picture of a starving farmer up in a tree reaching out on a limb for the last leaf to eat. As for nucular war, one 10th of 1% chance. Just make the best of your life perpare your soul, thou shall not kill

I wanted to say the zuccini and squash you could use in the circumstances of Trade. not only could you use the seed production of the squash and zuccini which would be a great trade for things you may need but food to trade as well. being that would likely be the situation in that sort of a situation.

actually you want the coolest darkest, even temps you have access to, and yes AIRTIGHT. frozen they last forever. again completely airtight, and let it come back to room temp before opening. Hes right though dont use a oxygen or mousture absorber. Youll kill the seeds. most seeds last much longer then contemporary wisdom would say, but onions, and some others will not last past a year or two.
