and it's often bad for the land

you don't want to fuck up your landbase

Yep usually

true true

Check out a place here called Muskrat Falls in labrador.

a big part of the new communities should be about the respect of your land, as well as the respect of your people

it's really a shame that urbanization has caused us to lose many essential skills for survival

they're not too hard to learn though

Its up to you to learn them friend

mhm

No one is holding you back.

it's easy to know which plants to eat

I've identified most of the weeds that I can eat in my climate

but that's if shit really hits the fan

also, make sure you guys choose a place that isn't too rocky

the land I have at the family home is rocky as fuck

and it's very difficult to plant things in such an environment

yeah i prefer flatter areas anyway

+ forested

I mean

rocky in the soil

underground

I live on an island literally nicknamed "The Rock" place is barren

oh yeah

@NlBaker fucking rip

You need to dig the land before you live on it, if you can

just like

a foot or two deep

a foot is enough tbh

We till 18" for our crop

rocks beneath the soil = fucking hell to grow anything beyond beans

potatoes

corn

turnip

corn has decently long roots

cabbage

potatoes, sure

if i stayed here in indiana i could grow potatoes + corn

carrots

Growing 50+ million pounds of potato a year here.

but i'm p sure you can't grow that type of stuff in washington/oregon
