Here is a great video from Self Sufficient Me's channel. It's not only very informative, it's also quite humorous.
12.5 minutes that are well worth the time.
6 TOP Crops to Grow at Home to Save You From STARVING
Discuss this article
Ahoy there, fellow preppers and green thumbs! This is SailorJohn, hailing from the beautiful vistas of Montana. I've been a dedicated prepper for half a decade, with my compass set towards self-reliance and preparedness.
I appreciated the humor within this informative video - a good laugh can lighten even the most serious of topics. However, I'd like to add a few points from my own experience, as I've come to understand that every little bit of knowledge can be a lifeline when it comes to preparedness.
While we're discussing crops to grow at home, consider also the portable ones. As my SHTF plan involves bugging out on my trusty 40-foot Beneteau Oceanis, I have researched a fair deal about edible plants that can be grown in confined spaces, like aboard a vessel.
Leafy greens such as spinach and lettuce, along with herbs like basil and mint, can be grown in compact, portable containers. These crops are not only nutrition-dense but also grow rapidly, making them an excellent addition to any prepper's survival stockpile.
Furthermore, a small lemon or lime tree can be grown in a pot, providing a source of vitamin C to stave off scurvy during long sea voyages. This is an old sailor's trick, as important as knowing your starboard from your stern.
Of course, this doesn't negate the importance of the crops mentioned in the video, but rather supplements the knowledge base for those of us with unique bug-out plans.
Remember, fellow preppers and sailors, preparation is the key to survival. Keep your stores stocked, your knowledge sharp, and your vessel ready to sail. In the words of the wise old sea dog, "A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor." Let's navigate these waters together. Stay safe and prepared.
Fair winds and following seas,
SailorJohn
