Fyi It's commonly known as guerrilla gardening. Tubers such as potatoes, turnips and carrots might do well, only a gardener would recognise the above ground portion. Ragnar Benson? :D My favourite survivalist author. I know him (his work at least) but wasn't necessarily quoting him here though to b...

Re: Meat tax

With this year being my 30th anniversary of going vegetarian, I'm all for it. Actually, I'm not, not really. Whilst it sounds good, we need to discourage people from eating cheap, mass-produced, factory farmed meat; we (and by this I mean a global "we") need to stop deforestation of the r...

Re: Will we end up in lockdown again?

I'm trying to avoid being argumentative. Apologies if I'm treading into controversial territory. Moderators, Please edit or erase my post if I overstep. We preppers are practical folks. If there's an adult in the room, I like to think it's us. Telling it as I see it, we need some more restrictions,...
