Although different people might have different definitions for what a ‘survival garden’ would refer to, my definition is simply this: a garden from which basic and substantive foodstuffs can be grown and harvested each year, and from which seeds can be saved and replanted indefinitely.
It isn’t necessary that one consider him or herself a ‘prepper’ to see the value in planting a survival garden. In fact, I’d say if you’re going to grow a garden, it only makes sense to ensure that you have several core crops that you can count on from year-to-year, just in

Preppers Are Now Considered To Be Potential Terrorists? - The American Dream

The End of the American Dream - Are Preppers now Considered to be Potential Terrorists? Ref: Rand Paul Speech

Alright, This is getting out of hand.  Can I not grow vegetables in my Victory Garden Either??

Seriously, WTF?

Vote. Vote. Vote. Vote. and then, Vote.

Everyone's voice NEEDS to be heard this year.

Fear Mongering is one thing.  Labeling people doing pro-active things as terrorists is BULLSHIT!

Every American has the right to prepare for emergencies and protect themselves and their family.

Gimme a break............................................

An Interesting Discussion re: Dreams/Universal Mind

L.C.>> I had a dream last night where people were evacuated to shelters and was not told what was happening, then the othe people were talking about a meteor hitting and next i feel a huge rumble and everything was falling but then it stoped and we looked for imformation on what really happend. The military told us that almost the whole northern hemisphere was hit by a meteor and was coverd with flames, then i relized my mom and sisters live in the area of impacted thats when i woke up crying it seemed so real and i hope none of us will have to go through that

  • Dreams are keys. imo. That pain comes in many forms,, it's one thing soldiers use to "hype up" if you will. We're not mindless robots with guns, lol we feel feelings, but were trained how to rise above those feelings, almost instantly. Use ...See More
  •  I agree with Tim. Dreams are your minds attempt to work through emotions and stressors through the unconscious. Don't put too much stock into the dream scenario. Just allow them to be an outlet. Also, as T.E. mentioned, do whatever you ...See More 
  • Very true, I found myself (upon joining,and watching the show) that I got WAY to in depth Way too fast. I spent about a month on here ,and other groups, and doin some mad googlin, (<odd sentence structure) I was stayin up late,
  • I had vivid dreams for awhile after joining the group, and troubled sleep - it was overwhelming for me to read all the 'gloom 'n doom' and danger - I had to drop back for awhile and re-focus. Some people are sensitive to that sort of thing and need time to process. Best wishes to you, L. C.
    • Andre Leger
    • There could be a possibility of the subject of your dream was influenced by the universal conscious mind. It happens to me a lot. Getting worked up about things, communicating with like minds on the subject and your brain naturally has to work in out somehow. I find myself waking up after vivid ones and doing a mental reset to get straight. The interesting part, though, is when your communal dream/vision then happens, this is weird the first time. I'd like to say it gets easier. You kind of get used to it after a while. STAY POSITIVE. Conquer the issues you have control over. Continue to help people and move forward is my only advice


      This may be veering a little off-subject and I apologize if it is - let me know and I will remove the post - but here goes: Nightmares plagued me for many years; mostly re-living unhappy events. You can learn to control your dreams. I worked with a very skilled tauist and learned how to control a lot of body/mind functions that most people (including myself) typically believe are our of our range. The human mind is amazing and we never use 1/100th of our true capacity



    • Aye, dream control is called Lucid Dreaming. I can do it naturally (Hey Stan Lee) It can be very useful. for instance, in high school I used to do my homework in my sleep. They could never get how I could have semi good grades and no work to turn in. lol Also you get to use "Tools" of the brain that arent usually accesible. Like physics dont apply tottaly, in dream land. so you can bend and use time/space to your will,, IE using a 3rd person view of yourself, making 4+ images of the same concept. And doing different work in each one, while processing and staying current with each of your self's at the same time. :) I used the ISS room at my school. Because the room is always quiet, theres no decorations, just cubicle desks. So the scene is quiet and makes multi processing easier.

    •  good read, Tim! glad to see there are other people with this awareness

    •  Funny how I learned about it. lol I was a soldier and ( ya dont believe this part as a female, but its true, LOL---) I was actually reading the articles in Playboy. And they had a whole section on Lucid Dreaming.

    • Andre Leger I agree. Very, very effective tool of that computer we call a brain. Great discussion!

    •  Yeah, Tim.... reading the articles... LOL (I really believe you, but this was toooo easy for me to pass up)
       LOL For realz!! haha When in the Desert and bored,, you startd counting the grains of sand,, lolol

    •  Thanks, Andre - I am never sure any more what is okay here

    • Andre Leger There are plenty of cool headed folks in this group. It is possible to be serious, share ideas, and learn w/o being negative or pushing legal limits. I learn a lot here, THANKS ·
    • Tim, do you think being in the military (somewhat isolated from your familiar people/places and learning a new code of living) helped you see the need for this learning and/or facilitated it? My family is all military, in one fashion or another, and I see a lot of impact from the military code/way of life

    • The need for learning prepping or brain function? hehe My childhood Diagnosis of ADHD, and being hooked to computers, moving the screen with my mind, got me into other functional curiosities. :)

    • yeah, sorry - you have to be something of a mind reader to communicate with me

    • thanks for a great exchange, guys, and I apologize to Lane for hijacking his post ·

    • Andre Leger Jennifer, you can do THAT too? nice.... lol
    •  now, Andre....

"The Colony" is is on (Planet Green HD) in marathon. It started about twenty minutes ago. It is the ones from 2009 but if you haven't seen them it is fairly educational on rebuilding society after catastrophy. This show was ahead of the curve on all the doomsday scenario show.

They keep advertiseing that new ones start tonight at 8pm but according to my t.v.schedule it's the same old ones. 2009-2010. Maybe they mean it's new to their station? Who knows? Oh well. Back to watching genious/idiot people attempt to survive. :) I love this show but some of these people wouldn't last three days alone they are sooo stupid.



    •  Season 2 is going to be aired in marathon on saturday march 31'st at 3p.m. On planet green channel in hd.

Wind-Up Radio/Flashlight

>What do you suggest is the best solar/crank emergency radio
>>>well grundig makes a fine multiband reciever. I would start there.

Recent Prepper Blog Post re: Prison Supply Chain

>Word through the grapevine: a former US Special Forces member, who is now working for the Montana Prison System, has said that "big government" has instructed the prisons to be fully stocked and prepared to last for at least 6mo. Supposedly, there will be an "Earth shattering" event sometime between March 13th-23rd. Just as a heads up y'all. Be careful out there and be prepared! Sources are credible.
 >>>If your referring to J's post she did say where she got the info, it is good info, people can fear over it if they want or they can get those few items they might of needed just a little sooner! I mean if I hear a storm is coming to a certain area and it dont come am I fear mongering?

The fed's and all other state agencies lie to the people. Watching the video, how can all of those be fires that start each day around the same time and end sometime during the night? And they are happening in the same spots
Here's a good link for watching current activity for quakes: http://neic.usgs.gov/neis/qed/

USGS Earthquake Hazards Program, responsible for monitoring, reporting, and researching earthquakes and earthquake hazard
  • Barry Sibole lollame stream media will show you nothing,
  • Andre Leger How long before the pressure releases, 2 days? A month? This is quick, seismic activity all over today esp. This has nothing to do with Tornadic Activity or Sun Energy release. New Madrid is on a 125-150 year cycle. We're about right dead center of that timeline.....
  • Michael Lay been 200 and last time it let loose was after a big flood likewhat just happened might be part of the post glacial rebound too

  • Michael Lay there has been movement all long ill see if i can post a screen shot of the eq3d witch is a free down load by the way
  • Cynthia Valyou-Lapoint Andre Leger the guy that does those informative videos said he believes a sizable earthquake will happen within 30 days or so.
