Optional but highly recommended, get a hold carpet, use a big circular thing or coffee lid and put holes in it like this . This helps keeps moisture in

The Truth
We used to go through a lot of military training for certain things and natural disasters


Have a place to go. Somewhere high and unpopulated if you dont trust your location when things get bad

Solarpowered / handcranked radios/flashlights you can find anywhere. I have one as well

There are these things in tubs that baically holds water in a rubber bag in your tub that can last for days/weeks

Portable car battery starter. I have one, extremely convenient

I have an AR legally, working on getting small arms next and mossburg next. I wanted to get crossbows for hunting but might wait on it.

Pretty good, slower than I thought but have some flowers blooming so should be getting tons of stuff in the next few weeks. I started late in the season. Lost a couple of plants due to squirrels and rabbits but put up a fence around it

Tomatoes are by far the best growing ones there in the back in the first pic, peppers are doing pretty good too

I've also since purchased a rain water collector

I subscribe to Demcad. Look him up on YouTube. He a regular dude with some insight on prepping and gun ownership. He also shares his political views.

It's a breh I train with at the gun range that has a good Instagram. I'll post his link later
Demcad's been crying wolf for 8 years now. They're killing people for having legal guns now. What's the answer preppers?!

think I was subscribed to him at one point... his practical survival advice is great, but some of his political views/ rhetoric were:mjpls:

pretty much search YouTube: prep survival; disaster prep; prepper; minimalism prep

find the channel that resonates with you...

So far for me it's been pest and birds. The fence ($10 total) took care of the main problem rabbits and squirrels.

Also a small amount of weeds, but a good portion of that is stopped by the carpet setup I have which also helps keep moisture in.

Watering is also very important, I have a soaker hose setup in mine, so there's a hose running buried inside I turn it on at least once a day for 20-30 minutes, unless it rained that day, eventually going to add a automatic timer

FYI this is my first time ever building / growing so it's a learning process
