We did the same. We're preparing since years. Now we have own water, solar and a garden. I started to store food 2019 but until last year we had not enough space to store food. I bought in the farmer store barrels with lids and it works very well. I started my garden at the end of last year with a test bed. I harvested some broccoli, cale and salad from it! it was my first time. I was very happy! This year I expanded the garden with not much money. I ordered 2 tons of compost for 80 Euro, had to pick it up by myself with our trailer. The compost is not the best but better as my clay soil. It's not good enough but I dunged it. I chose the no dig method and collected alot of brown cardboard (only brown, it's mostly natural) to build my garden beds. the cardbord will decompose, it feeds the soil with nitrogen and it holds the weed down.
I bought also alot of seeds on discount. You can buy some veggetables and collect your seeds from it too. let your store bought potatos germinate and use them to grow your own. We have build our raised bed with trees which my husband cut off on the property of our neighbor who is to old to do it by himself. Win win. I had found a IKEA plastic storage case with lid, it's a bigger one and I use it as a tiny greenhouse until we can build a bigger one. It has enough space for 200 plants. I'm in zone 10a, we don't have cold winters.
I get straw from a neighbor who has horses. straw that is not good enough for the horses but for my garden it's fine. It feeds and protects the plants and saves water. You can also use wood from paletts to build a raised bed. You have to be a bit creative. But even with a small budget you can grow food. Make your own compost, your own fertilizer like bokashi, collect cow or chicken poop. Buy books to learn how to grow. Watch videos on the tube. I have a notepad which I use to write down the important things. First thing to collect is knowledge! You can do it even with a small budget!
Something to laugh:
I bought my first plants on the market, but I didn't knew the translation of the plants I bought.
the only thing I knew, that the plant looked like some type of cale. One looked like a portuguese cale witch has only leaves. When it was big enough I cut some leaves and cooked with it a Caldo Verde. It tasted good. Now I realized that it grows a white round thing in the middle. a cauliflower. But hey, the leaves are also edible.

You seem like a really cool and smart guy. It amazes me how many people are talking about prepping now. Ten years ago people were still laughing because at the time I had put together even a minimal little go bag full of basic supplies. Today, I ve bought two small homes in uniquely different areas of the US in very small towns (very small) and also an additional 5 acre property in the mountains where I put a small RV camp. I have stockpiled thousands of storable food items at each location. My idea is that I never knew what area of the country would be the worst off, so I wanted multiple options of places to run to. I have cheap (but running) old vehicles at each place, stored fuel, multiple heat sources and so on. Up until about 3 years ago everyone I knew still thought I was nuts. Now people keep asking me what they should do. I hate to tell them at this time, due to rising costs, even I would not be able to afford what I had done over the previous decade. The key to it all is no debt. If you have debt then you really have nothing. Most people I know are buried in debt, so all i can tell them is buy storable food, security, hope for the best and pray for God s protection for your family s lives. We all know where this is going it s literally been decreed by those in power and even written in prophecy. Maybe we ll live through it maybe not, but never wanted to be in a position where I face my maker saying I didn t even try.

Funny to see the weather in Canada flipping to frost and snow again after a warmer period, seeing the same thing happening in Northern Europe, even here in Holland we have our first snow of the winter right now and a frosty night coming.
Less funny is to see the same food and energy crisis coming, due to war and politics.
If there is some plan behind it, I would like to understand it, but so far it looks like destructive chaos to me.
Unless it is lobbyism for abolishing private ownership in favor of big money.
Which will be the result of the current crisis.

It seems reasonable to consider that everyone can find at least one aspect of their life where each person can try to be more self reliant - I don t see where anyone should see themselves as not having anything in their current life they can do differently to practice some degree of self reliance. Shawn, you have been a great influence & teacher to many in re-evaluating how one might improve h/h life relative to practicing self reliance. Not living on a beautiful off grid homestead in the making shouldn t be a deterrent. Your points are well taken. Stay safe.

I live in Costa Rica, Central America which is fortunate to mostly be able to feed itself, except for imported items such as wheat products, tea etc. However; I have seen a rocketing in prices of imported meat products here. I have found that lentil soups made a satisfying alternative protein source. During WW2 in Britain had strict rationing, and families had meatless days, and people were more healthy. too. I have read that honey is the one food which will never spoil. It has been found in the tombs in the Egyptian pyramids and perfectly edible.

Thanks for a valuable video! I got my first allotment as a 27 y old and learned to farm many different veggies during a couple of seasons. I loved going there after work and stay many hours, chatting to my allotment neighbors. I live in the city now and I grow stuff eeeverywere I can find some space; ) Also, its important to learn how to heal in the upcoming NWO times. Reiki or some simple Kinesiology can come in very very handy, to relieve pain, anxiety, depression, check your need for certain nutrition etc. Thanks!

This is what in known as Agenda 21 formed in Rio 1992 by moat countries. A comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally, nationally and locally by organizations of the United Nations System, Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human impacts on the environment. I for one knew nothing about it and agreed to none of it yet were all along for the ride. Shawn has the answer drop out of the pack and go Tonto. Looking after your immediate family comes first helping others do live sustainably follows.

There is a book by Terry Goodkind called Faith of the Fallen. Its an entertainment fantasy adventure book but I consider it a warning back from 2000. The world the main character is forced to live it reminds me exactly of the type of world the global institutions are trying to create.
The Imperial Order continues to bring an undesired war upon the New World. Its mission is to enslave the world in a system in which no human being can aspire to anything more than mediocrity.
