      25/ ...and even for folks who farm before SHTF, you probably want a ton of stored food. Farm is hard in the best of times ...when you can buy diesel 1 mile down the road for $2.50/gallon...and can get pig feed delivered for $13/50 lbs sack (10% off if you order 1+ tons).

      26/ I can't remotely imagine what I'd do in a "six nines" disaster. Electric gone, diesel gone, no truck loads of pig feed? Whew lads! Probably die, like everyone else.

      27/ Depends - do you want to prepare for WW III ? Or just take up gardening as a hobby? If WW III: build a small cabin with a wood stove, and a basement full of cheap survival carbs.https://twitter.com/Isegoria/status/1197931777005957120 …

      28/ If hobby gardening - plant a few fruit trees, maybe a raised bed, maybe a chicken coop with some automatic feeder and waterer that you refill on weekends.

      30/ Wife saw some prepper video (or magazine article? IDK) once where the guy was saying that THINGS can be TAKEN FROM YOU, maaaaan ... so what you REALLY want is knowledge. Because if you have that, others will band together with you. She told me this and we both laughed. >>

      Farming is hard. Our family homesteaded in Alaska in the 1950's which among other things required getting the land ready for farming. Dad often said it reinforced his experiences that the only people who were at all successful at farming came from a long line of farmers. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1197857957192568837 …

      Ah yes the Hopi, a group whose practices adapted to such New Hampshire-esque environs like... the high desert of the Colorado Plateau.

          37/ me: ...every seed is a little nanotech factory that has machinery to build a plant, and also an initial food store. The seed has to build enough plant to get above ground using just the calories in the seed, because it gets no light for photosynthesis until then.

          39/ years later I figured out the kernel of insanity turns out that Hopi had to deal with a drying wind, so instead of raised beds, they built bathtub like DEPRESSED beds. Dig a trench 4' wide by 10' long. Then plant seeds in the bottom of that. ...and plant them 1/2" deep

          40/ Somewhere along the line, twixt the Hopi and FSP hippie's dad, perhaps, or maybe between FSP H D and FSP H, the "four feet deep" detail got connected not to the BED but to the SEED. Sigh.

          43/ Yes, strongly agree that the bang for the buck is prepackaged food in the basement. Not sure what I'd suggest - maybe some kits from Costco ? Plus standard canned stuff from the supermarket ?https://twitter.com/robkroese/status/1197942337294553089 …

          Ok, so given all this, and assuming a high probability that TSHTF, wouldn't the smart move be to just fill your basement with canned/dry food? And if so, what would give most bang for the buck? https://twitter.com/JASutherlandBks/status/1197894300715167745 …
