Survival Health Tips

Because I need a break from wanting to cast Fauci and fawning media into the proverbial sea

Fauci is on his victory tour, for presiding over what will become known as the era of chronic illness and insanity. Facilitating the catastrophic rise of cancer, auto-immune disorders, autism, mental illness, etc pathologies, Fauci and fawning media want to rub it in your face, how many people he can lead to a miserable life and early death, and not just get away with it, but prance around like a self described saint.

I really want to rage, about how much of DC and the technocracy want us dead, from jabs, chronic illness, cancer, fentanyl, military aged migrants/cartel members/terrorists, WWIII. But being enraged without some way to direct that usefully, is not healthy, and being healthy right now is like the ultimate rebelliousness.

At the same time I didn't want to talk about this survival health tip, outside of the context of my absolute fury at the state of affairs in America, like Fauci isn't out there as a murderous elite eff-u to America.

Anyway….I was weeding the garden recently, eating lunch as I weeded, so I started thinking about a post about healthy survival tips.

This doesn’t look like much, but there are three edible plants here, two growing wild, one I planted. There are as many as three and four cabbages coming up where only one can stay, I let them compete to this point to assure one remains, then I eat the extras as I weed and thin. Also here are sorrel, which has a yellow flower, looks like clover, but has a distinct lemon flavor. There is also lambs quarter, which is also called poor man’s spinach, which is meaty like spinach but healthier, tastes better, and grows in disturbed soil in abundance.

Lambs Quarter. I eat a lot of these when they are 3-5 inches tall, as I weed. I have seen them grow eight feet tall. New growth is the best for eating.

The mess in the background behind the rose is beets. I plant a lot of seeds and thin them when they are about 3-5 inches tall, to about two inches apart. At two inches apart I can later harvest half of them as small beets while I let the rest grow to full size. I filled a two gallon ziplock bag before I finished thinning. We have been adding beet greens to salads every day for a week.

While weeding, new cabbage greens, lambs quarter, sorel, new beet greens and fresh radishes make for a full meal.

Just because fertility is such a topic on the new right these days…. and I am quite fond of dragonflies.

Garlic scapes are ready. I have been dicing them and adding them to salads.

Romaine, beet greens, baby lettuce (bibb and romaine especially can be grown in bunches, whole plants harvested gradually to thin them out), spinach, Muir lettuce, diced garlic scapes and radishes, all grown this year.

The carrots I grew last year.

This is what remains in the root cellar. We are still eating carrots and squash I grew last year. That looks like a pumpkin in the picture, but it is Winter Sweet Kabocha.

Extra long storage indeed. Sadly it is a hybrid, so that is not ideal for survival storage as you can’t save the seed, but surely there are more fertile, similar options.

The point of this exercise in survival health tips is, that is seasonal continuity. Wild nettles were ready a month ago, one of the healthiest greens on earth, eaten by our ancestors going back millenia. We were still eating potatoes from last year a bit over a month ago. We are not far from the Canadian border. Late winter early spring is the traditional starving time, when the winter cache is exhausted but there is nothing fresh growing.

Root vegetables and some squash can turn the “starving time” into surviving and thriving. A greenhouse, particularly one that is heated by some source other than the sun, canning and curing eliminates that starving time, largely outside of a supply chain in break down.

Pre-covid psyop, broken supply line discussions were the fringe of the fringe. Post-covid and apparently pending WWIII, well, if you are reading this you are still probably fringe, but like

recently said, what is most interesting is happening on the periphery, because the center is decadent and collapsing.
