      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.

      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Robert Kroese

      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 …

      Robert Kroese @robkroese
      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 …

      You want lots of dried food. Canned food as well, but dried food is more space efficient and I believe keeps longer. You need water of course, but without water in plenty you're dead anyway. I can imagine having some MREs stocked as well, but they're really only for in-a-pinch.

      Yes, we have years of dried and canned food. And MREs. And two wells. And a farm.

          I think the real survival plan for someone who isn't a farmer is to survive long enough for things to stabilize, and some form of feeding supply to form. That means both contact with someone who farms enough to feed more than their own family... and enough people to die off.

          Without technology and modern transportation, farming will not feed nearly as many people. Anyone who survives will have to live long enough to be there when the supply and demand stabilize.
