I wrote my first draft of The Green Beret Preparation and Survival Guide about a decade ago. I did my first version of a free slideshow about how to prepare for and survive the INEVITABLE pandemic about five years ago. Not I titled it with INEVITABLE.
And here we are, well into one and we still haven’t crested the first wave. It’s more of a tsunami, except it’s not receding. Further waves are piling on top. Our president has essentially said its over and will fade away as numerous states record numbers of infections. I go with the science.
I’m saddened at all the unnecessary death and suffering. This is not who we should be as human beings.
All I can say is we have to take care of ourselves. Ultimately, in all extreme survival situations, we can’t count on the government or others to take care of us. My wife just sliced up our first cucumber from our garden we started way back when and announced on one of these posts. It’s still not too late. She said it was the best she’d ever tasted. We have seven of these planters and they’re all green now with cucumbers, tomatoes, squash, lettuce and more. It’s not too late to get started!
What can we do?
Protect yourself. Minimize the amount of time around other people, particularly indoors.
WEAR A MASK. One of the most interesting things to occur is the hairdresser who tested positive after working with a number of people; none of whom contracted it because the hairdresser wore mask. Give a shit about people!

We have three of these planters (plus some extra big pots)—growing lettuce, okra, strawberries, peppers, chard, cilantro, parsley, rosemary, onions, thyme, basil, tomatoes, radishes, and beets. Thanks so much for the tip “way back when.”
It took a little longer to get started than I would have liked, because we started late. But we’ll harvest the lettuce and radishes in the next few days. It feels good to be growing food.
We just ordered some 10-gallon grow bags in order to fit in more tomatoes. They are a less expensive option when money is tight. Here’s the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07167BY12/
Thanks for the info. We’re going to have to replant our tomato plants into something larger as they’re outgrowing the boxes. Other than that, we’ve got the kennel fence around the boxes to let the beans crawl up on.
I found some good advice about keeping tomato plants healthy and maximizing their yield from Luke at MI Gardner. I plan to use his method this summer as my own tomatoes grow.
