Hi Group,
Is one prepper prepping make a prepper?
Forgive me if I m digging up an old string, but for the Grace of God, how do you find anyone who can ...uh...live the life.I have more resources then I can operate, yet prospective 'workers' come expecting salary,want to come after 5 mo of production, June, or want to stay week.
are we hip yet? After All the press, where's the new blood?

I'm a prepper too in some ways, just trying to be better informed &
work in the right direction - within my budget;-( I followed the Dervaes
pathtofreedom.com years ago & saw nothing new since Helen & Scott
Nearing were living sustainably long ago & wrote about it. Of course
thousands of others in the '60s started on it & most gave up. Meanwhile
people like Eliot Coleman & Barbara Damrosch, John Jeavons, Joel
Salatin, J.I.& Robert Rodale & thousands of others were developing
techniques we've benefitted from ever since. I'd argue the Dervaes have
nothing like average peoples' climate etc. Pasadena is one big year
round garden. As for their claims of incredible food production, frankly
I think they played to the cameras. Their religious views are no concern
to me one way or the other. People can research Jules Dervaes online.

Hey
 
Some of those preppers are my friends
 
Tho yeah, some of the things they are showing are all about the
extremes.  I dunno the Dervaes family personally, but I DO like their
set-up.  Like the others it shows what can be done, however theirs is
far more within average means of what a family can do in a normal house
and yard, not even vast acreage or any kind of armament battery as the
more survivalist lot have been espousing.  Still extreme in it's own
way.  Not that many will determine themselves to farm a city lot to such
an extent that they are not only living off it, but also getting a
market income.  They certainly are the No-till family as well.  Have you
seen their website?
 
Yours, Pego
