Why you should be a crazy survivalist prepper

[Esaias]

1. Being a "survivalist" aka a "pepper" is a weird thing these days, according to the Communist media. But, it is basically how all humans have functioned for all 6,000 years of recorded history (except the last 50 odd years in the West, since the War To Save Communism aka WW2). So being a survivalist pepper means being an ordinary, normal, natural, traditional, "original issue" human being, as opposed to one of these modern, synthetic, brainwashed, corrupted-by-the-Dark-Lord minion slaves of Bolshevik stupidity.

2. People who are prepared for dangerous events have a higher chance of surviving. Those who are not usually suffer and/or die. And it's better to survive than to suffer and die due to one's own lack of proper planning.

3. Non prepared people who survive during hard times are primarily welfare cases. Not that they are on welfare at the start of the event, but they immediately depend entirely on other prepared people to support them through the hard time. In other words, parasites and bums.

4. It's better to explain to your kids why your family needs to help the poor grannie next door to survive the famine than it is to explain to your wife and daughters why they need to prostitute themselves, or to your sons why they need to rob and kill. Or why you need to cook the dog, or one of the in-laws.

5. It's Biblical. See Adam/Eve, Noah, Joseph, ancient Israel, the early church, etc.

If we all turned our lawns to food production, the world would be a better place!

Food not lawns!

A well thought out garden could look better than just a yard. I'm trying to plan our next garden, trying to integrate a fruit orchard into it. I'm keeping the front lawn because the kids use it for playing, but we have a back and side lawn that just sits there being useless. So Lord willing that's getting a makeover.

The Native Americans had some interesting planting techniques...one was called 3 Sisters I think...it allowed for 3 different plants to share the same space and to use each other as climbing and growing structures.


Have you considered a greenhouse using collected rainwater or grey water for a water source?


Im looking into building a concrete home as well after buying land here and building a multi family home thats energy efficient but also comfortable if main power goes put. Looking into modular solar power that uses 2 deep cycle batteries for each panel that can be daisy chained...any excess energy needed is pulled from the grid so no backfeed issues.


So yeah...planning.



Charlotte is a big foodie area....could grow organic fruits and vegetables and sell at farmers markets and directly to farm to table restaurants.
