Gardening for Survival

01:23 Bubba emphasizes the importance of garden size in a SHTF situation and mentions that the Department of Agriculture suggests about 4,000 square feet of growing space per person for one year.

02:01 Bubba mentions the difficulty of tilling a garden without fuel or equipment in a post-SHTF scenario and says that the calories burned would outweigh the caloric yield from the garden.

02:37 Bubba states that no one should plan to live a vegetarian existence after SHTF because the calories required to grow a vegetarian diet would lead to death within a year.

03:32 Bubba calculates that his two gardens total about 48,000 square feet, enough to feed 8 people for one year.

05:00 Bubba advises assessing soil quality and considering variables such as fertilizer availability, weather extremes, and food requirements for animals when determining if garden size is sufficient.

06:29 Bubba stresses the importance of gardening and acquiring practical experience before a SHTF event in order to avoid being a burden on others.
