Part 5 of The Survival Report’s series on Survival gardening looks at what to grow from a survival standpoint. Criteria is given based on a SHTF / survival standpoint. Seed saving is discussed as well. www.survivalreport.net www.homesteadingandsurvival.com survivalist, survivalists, survival, preparedness, prepare, bird flu, plagues, economic collapse, Red Dawn, Survival Report, AK 47, AR 15, food storage, food shortage, famine, gas prices, gas shortage, organic gardening, permaculture, homesteading, self reliance, self-sufficiency, back to the land, back to basics, pioneer living, off grid, alternate energy, war, terrorism, Alex Jones, stock market crash, survival retreat, militia, logistics, end times, revelation, post tribulation, end of oil, peak oil, anything else I missed as tags 
@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
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.
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.
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.
Thanks for sharing your experience and educating those like myself who just now are beginning to prepare for such events.
God bless!
well we should let God do the dirty work right? Saul was not God, David was not God. Humans that think there God, Bad illness schitsophrinia. As for nuclear war if it was a viable option we would be dust allready. The game is control and power so the lazy humans with money do not have to work. Its highly probable that they are weak mined individuals that let evil manifest there bodies.
@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.
Wouldn’t it be easier to get your neighbors into food gardening now too? Instead of feeding them later teach them now.
“Hide-ability” is a word. You just invented it!
zuccini? No nutrients
The idea is that seeds are living and therefore need to respire. This is why #10 cans of seeds should NOT have oxygen absorbers in the cans. Therefore I’d avoid the ziplock bags long term. Might not be anything to worry about but then again it might be. Seed viability drops up pretty heavy within a few years anyways.
Assuming seed storage is dark, cool and dry do you prefer brown paper lunch bag or air tight zip lock plastic for seed storage? Does it differ for different plants?
there is a wonderful lady on here that teaches about dehydrating food. We all should be dehydrating our food including meat. I go to the local groc. store and get their used icing containers, they are food ready, and most have rubber seals to help keep out bugs. Our dehydrater cost about $30 and I have done apples, onions, green beans, garlic, broccoli so far. Check out her videos they are really good.
Those plants are perfect for storage. You can dehydrate zucchini and squash out in the sun, in a oven or commericaillly available food dehydrater.
That’s the best advice- “don’t freak out.” Learn as much as you can, prepare as fast as you can without breaking your bank. It’s going to be hard for a single family to make it on their own. Look for a video on general planning topics soon. In the mean time SurvivalReport with a dot and a NET after that will get you started moving forward. Good luck,
shannnCole888 said aircrafts will be looking for crops I’am new to this lifestyle and I trying not to freak out. As a beginner I ‘am not advanced as most folks is there a book I can buy that will teach me step by step I have learned most of what I know from you guys and pioneer living I’am by myself should I look for a group of people or just remaine by myself? please help
Zuchinni Bread & Freeze ???
thanks, i’ll have a look when I get back from work! Ha I never knew how exiting gardening could be, going to buy some seeds etc tomoro!
