SCOPE - Survivalist Coalition Of Puna & Environs?

[pslamont]

I don't know about needing survival "gear" here in Puna. More like some good books on gardening and animal husbandry, maybe some how-to regarding wood stoves and building with rock. I imagine a local small saw mill would be in order if things get bad and I can imagine we wouldn't need much from anywhere else.. some, but not much. I mean, we won't be building mansions but we can build animal shelters, garden sheds, etc.... We won't necessarily be cooking with gourmet items but there are plenty of purple sweet potatoes, pork, lamb, beef, fish, chicken, eggs, veggies, lettuce, fruit... we would not starve. We might not have rice or flour locally but hey... we can survive here in Puna. We can learn to get sweetner from sugar cane. We can easily have coffee, tea and lemonade, orange juice. Puna gives us wet areas and dry areas.... if we all did the best we could with what we have, we could trade and share and barter and we will be fine. I have all the confidence in the world in Punatics... and if things decline, we will rise!
