My neighbors don’t garden. They live in houses with perfectly
manicured lawns and have no interest in preparing for disaster of any
kind. They may have a flashlight and some batteries, and think they’ve
really done something with three days worth of food in the pantry, but
the simple fact remains, when disaster strikes, they’re inadequately
prepared to face it, to say the least.
I have tried to engage them with gardening and food prep, but they all
look at me like I’ve suddenly grown a third eye or something. I’m just a
little strange to them. But when an event occurs (such as Katrina in
2005 - goodness, their memories are short!), and there are days upon
days without electricity, without phone service, and impassible roads
(and if they could get around, none of the gas stations are working
because the power is out!), they’re going to start looking at me and my
garden, and they’re going to want to “share.”
Don’t misunderstand me--I have every intention of helping when I can.
But the simple fact is that I’m like Chicken Little. If you can’t help
make the bread in all its stages, then you don’t get to eat the bread
after I’ve done all the hard work. My family will come first. I really
don’t want to physically harm my neighbors, but how would I keep
intruders out from my garden that will be my family’s sustenance in hard
times?
Today’s first guest on Off the Grid Radio will tell us just that. Author
Rick Austin shares with us some of the compelling gardening techniques
outlined in his book The Secret Garden of Survival. He gives a
lot of interesting information about how nature allows things to grow,
and by using nature’s own design, how we can effectively grow five times
more produce than in traditional row gardening and hide it from those
who would steal everything but the kitchen sink in a disaster situation.
It’s definitely a show you’ll want to listen to.
Then to wrap things up, Bill discusses with his friend how FBI policies
established by the current administration are getting Americans killed.
Patrick Poole is a counter-terrorism specialist and his take on the
current situation in regard to terrorism will infuriate you and scare
you, all at the same time. Is our government and its mainstream media
lapdogs willfully turning a blind eye to Islamic radicalism? Bill asks
the question... we invite you to hear the answer.
