In NZ we can buy Stevia herb with seeds available at Kings Herb Seeds, Katikati, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand also by MAIL ORDER. They are a good honest and kind business and sell some Organic seeds too. And are online too. Hint: for most medical alternatives, try growing Basil herb or better, Sacred or Holy Basil the perennial and eat some leaves daily, it’s a natural antibiotic.
But alternative medicine can be not always better so check about a doctor.

Form a group of people if you wish. Survivalism must be sustained to be of any use, so plant those fruit trees and LEARN from the library books, even 2nd hand books with gardening and orcharding books. If you think you will get by without money or any income, realise thats’ a mistake. The Council will send demands for rates to pay on our land. If you form a group, have some good worker work for wages, even in the city, to save up for the rates. And climate counts, so eg in New Zealand, we cannot grow and process cane sugar, so grow a herb called STEVIA, that is easy to process into sugar. Solar Power seems a good idea. You are LOVED, too.

We’ve been preparing for 10 years Pamela. With the threat from our own federal government, we are making some small changes to our plans but overall we can handle most anything. The pandemic was fairly easy to deal with both physically and especially mentally–because we have been preparing. We are always “improving” what we have done over the years and always looking to adapt to the ever-changing socio economic environment here in our country. One thing that was a little difficult was getting our families on board with preparing and in general we have done this but more work needs to be done. Locally we are good to go with very little problems from the local county government–fairly conservative and self reliant.

Soon, very soon we are almost ready, I pray that we are not too late.

We have 5 acres of property and I have a lot of time on my hands, being a child, and so I decided to build my own shelter out of only ferns and sticks. Wasn’t easy but it works well even in storms that threaten to make trees crash.

I live in an RV year round in northern Kansas. I am not off grid however I do live in a four season camper. It has insulation in the walls and floor. I do use a small space heater in the underbelly of the trailer to keep my water lines from freezing. Luckily mine has all pex water lines so if one does freeze it’s an easy fix.
