what are y'all saving from the wild to deal with coming crisis?

“Beef has the biggest environmental impact of any food. Eating a plant based burger rather than a quarter pound beef burger uses 99% less water and more than 90% less land. It also generates more than 90% fewer greenhouse gas emissions. “ ( University of Michigan Center for Sustainable Systems)
Look online. There is a lot of good information about this. We haven’t even mentioned the health impact yet.
I’d provide more but I’m doing all of this responding on my phone.

That looks like an impressive statistic, but a lot of places that cattle are raised aren't useful for much else. I see folks all around me who raise cows on pasture land that realistically wouldn't be used for anything else. If they or the cows didn't keep it mowed it would revert back to forest.

Joel Salatin of Polyface farms uses animal fertilizer for his sustainable agricultural system.
His comments seem to indicate that commercial fertilizers on corn and soybeans eventually destroy the fertility. I like what I hear from him when I watch his videos!
His point of view seems reasonable.

If we only ate grass fed beef that would be fine but our demand for beef is huge in the US. Americans eat more meat than anybody else and we want it cheap. Most people can’t afford grass fed beef.

The novel I referenced earlier “one second after” was written when the author was urged by Newt Gingrich to write it. Not a fan of Newt but he is very concerned that the government is not prepared at all. Good read.

Wasn't it written after a government group completed a report about the possibility and likelihood of an EMP attack? Which was basically ignored. I remember the report was released at the same time as something else which was holding everyone's attention, I just doubt remember what that was lol. But I do remember Gingrich being involved in the book writing, maybe a forward written by him. And you are right that the government is not prepared at all!

Really? I didn’t know that about microwaves. Interesting. It wouldn’t help with a cell phone since the towers would be down. What else might I use? Perhaps the computer but again no electricity. Hmmmm

Emergency radio and a ham radio.
