Video On Gardening For Survivalists

by Justine on May 14, 2009

Seeing a couple of survivalists and their bad old truck somewhere way out in the country where they have cultivated squashes and zucchinis raises all sorts of questions. If these people had to live off the land, why would they want to live at all? They seem to live such tortured, suspicious lives as it is. An international conflagration is what they live for. What would be left for them if it actually happened?

Anyway, this country boy tells us that tinned food and MRE’s (Standard USG issued, preprocessed enclosed meal, including a balanced mix of foods, for consumption during wartime by US troops) is all very well but what if you have to feed yourself for six months? A year? Two years? A vegetable patch is the answer. The video shows how the squash and zucchinis grow practically wild in a field. They are affordable and a certain number are kept for seed production. Seems a bit of a sad idea really, planting vegetables for Armageddon.
