Growing Your Own Food Indoors and Outdoors
Nick Sasaki (Moderator):
Welcome, everyone! Today, we’re diving into an essential topic—how to grow your own food indoors and outdoors when access to grocery stores becomes unreliable. Joining us are three amazing experts: Marjory Wildcraft, founder of The Grow Network; Geoff Lawton, permaculture expert; and Joel Salatin, regenerative farming advocate. Thank you all for being here.
Marjory Wildcraft:
Thanks, Nick! It's great to be here, especially to talk about something as crucial as growing your own food. Most people don’t realize how easy it can be to start small and build a sustainable food system right at home, even in an apartment.
Nick Sasaki:
That’s true, Marjory. So, where should people start if they’ve never grown food before?
Marjory Wildcraft:
I always suggest starting with fast-growing, high-nutrition plants. For indoors, microgreens and herbs are perfect. They grow quickly, don’t take up much space, and can thrive on a windowsill. You don’t need fancy equipment—just some soil, water, and light. Indoor vertical gardens are also great for people with limited space. Once you’re comfortable, you can move to larger plants like tomatoes or peppers.
Nick Sasaki:
Geoff, what about those who have access to a backyard or outdoor space? How can they maximize food production, even in small areas?
Geoff Lawton:
Permaculture is a perfect solution for this. It’s all about creating ecosystems that work in harmony with nature. In a small backyard, you can create layered systems—using trellises for climbing plants like beans or cucumbers, while growing root vegetables like carrots underneath. Companion planting, where plants support each other, is key. For example, corn, beans, and squash—the "Three Sisters"—work well together, providing nutrients to the soil and shading each other. Even small spaces can yield a significant amount of food if designed correctly.
Nick Sasaki:
That sounds efficient! Joel, you focus on regenerative farming. How can people apply these principles on a smaller scale, say, in a suburban backyard?
Joel Salatin:
Absolutely, Nick. The key is to think like nature. One principle is to integrate livestock, even on a small scale. Chickens, for instance, are fantastic foragers—they eat bugs, till the soil, and provide fresh eggs. They can thrive in a backyard setting with very little maintenance. If that’s not possible, composting your food scraps and using them to enrich your garden soil is another way to build a healthy, nutrient-dense environment. The idea is to continuously recycle nutrients within your space, so nothing goes to waste.
Nick Sasaki:
Chickens in the backyard! That’s a great idea for those who have the space. What are the best plants to start with outdoors for beginners?
Joel Salatin:
I always recommend leafy greens like kale or spinach, as they’re hardy and forgiving, and they can grow in cooler temperatures too. For fruits, berries like strawberries or raspberries are relatively easy to grow and don’t require much care once they’re established. Also, if you’ve got space, a couple of fruit trees like apple or fig trees can be a long-term investment in food security.
Nick Sasaki:
So, between microgreens indoors, permaculture systems in the yard, and even integrating livestock, it sounds like there are many ways to become food self-sufficient. Marjory, any final thoughts on how to approach this sustainably over the long term?
Marjory Wildcraft:
The key is to start small and build gradually. Don’t try to do everything at once—it can get overwhelming. Start with one or two plants, learn the process, and expand from there. Remember, growing food is not just about survival; it’s about resilience and connecting with nature. The skills you develop now will serve you in any crisis and beyond.
Nick Sasaki:
Thank you, Marjory, Geoff, and Joel, for those incredible insights. It’s clear that whether you live in an apartment or have a backyard, there are plenty of ways to grow your own food and become more self-sufficient. Let’s keep the conversation going and explore even more ways to prepare for the challenges ahead!
Generating Power and Energy in a Crisis
Nick Sasaki (Moderator):
Now that we’ve discussed food, let’s move on to another crucial survival skill: generating power and energy when the grid goes down. We’ve brought together three top experts in this field—David Poz from DIY Solar Power, Cody Lundin, an expert in primitive survival techniques, and Will Prowse, a specialist in off-grid solar and renewable energy systems. Welcome, everyone!
David Poz:
Thanks, Nick! This is such an important topic. We rely on the grid for nearly everything in our modern lives, and when it goes down, it can be a real shock. But there are ways to generate your own power and not be left in the dark.
Nick Sasaki:
Absolutely, David. Let’s start with the basics. If someone wanted to set up a small-scale solar power system at home, where should they begin?
David Poz:
The first step is understanding your energy needs. You need to calculate how much power you consume and then decide how much of that you want to replace with solar energy. A basic setup might include a few solar panels, a charge controller, a battery for energy storage, and an inverter to convert DC power to AC so you can use it with your appliances. For someone just starting, I’d recommend getting a solar generator kit—these are easy to set up and can keep small devices, like phones and laptops, running during an outage.
Nick Sasaki:
Cody, you focus more on primitive survival skills. What would you recommend for people who want to generate energy without high-tech solutions?
Cody Lundin:
Thanks, Nick. When it comes to energy in a crisis, you have to think about what’s available around you. If you don’t have access to solar panels or a generator, you can create energy in simpler ways. For example, hand-crank chargers are low-tech but can generate enough power for small devices. Even something like a bicycle generator can help you produce electricity by pedaling. It’s not high-output, but it’s something. Additionally, using the environment around you, like building wind turbines from scavenged materials or capturing heat energy through solar ovens, is a low-tech way to survive when the grid is down.
Nick Sasaki:
That’s fascinating, Cody. The idea of being resourceful with what’s around you really adds a layer of resilience. Will, you specialize in off-grid living. How can someone go beyond basic solar and incorporate other renewable sources?
Will Prowse:
That’s right, Nick. While solar power is the easiest renewable source to start with, integrating multiple energy sources is the best way to ensure you have power in various conditions. For example, a small wind turbine can generate power when it’s cloudy, and micro-hydro power systems can be incredibly efficient if you have access to running water. It’s about diversifying your power sources so you’re not reliant on just one. Another overlooked aspect is energy conservation—learning to live on less power by using energy-efficient devices and LED lighting can stretch your power a lot further.
Nick Sasaki:
Energy conservation is a great point, Will. How would you recommend people prioritize their energy use during an outage?
Will Prowse:
In an emergency, you want to focus on keeping the essentials running—lighting, communication devices like your phone, and any medical equipment if necessary. Then, as you expand your system, you can look into powering refrigeration or small cooking appliances. But if you’re in a prolonged outage, rationing power and conserving energy becomes critical. Solar battery storage is crucial because you can store energy during the day and use it at night.
Nick Sasaki:
That’s a great strategy. David, are there any simple DIY solar projects people can do right now to start preparing?
David Poz:
Yes! One easy project is building a solar-powered USB charger. It requires just a small solar panel and a few electronic components. It’s a great way to power your phone or tablet. Another option is creating a portable solar power bank for emergencies—these can be lifesavers in a power outage. For those more serious about energy independence, you can build a full solar power system on a budget by sourcing affordable panels and batteries online.
Nick Sasaki:
Cody, for those who don’t have access to any tech, what’s one essential skill people should develop for generating energy or staying warm?
Cody Lundin:
Fire-making. It sounds basic, but having the ability to start and maintain a fire is critical, not just for cooking but for warmth and even creating light. You can use fire to boil water, which is a form of energy conversion. Learning friction-based fire-starting techniques or carrying reliable fire-starting tools, like flint and steel, is vital in any survival situation. And if you can harness the heat energy from fire, you’re ahead of the game.
Nick Sasaki:
It’s amazing how practical and varied the solutions can be. Between solar setups, wind and hydro power, and even basic fire-making, there are plenty of ways to generate power in a crisis. Will, any final advice for someone just starting on their off-grid energy journey?
Will Prowse:
Start small, test things out, and build from there. You don’t have to go completely off-grid all at once, but every bit of energy independence you gain reduces your reliance on the system and prepares you for emergencies.
Nick Sasaki:
Thank you, David, Cody, and Will, for your expertise. It’s clear that generating your own energy is not only possible but achievable, whether you’re using high-tech solar systems or low-tech survival methods. Let’s move on to our next topic!
Water Purification and Storage
Nick Sasaki (Moderator):
Now that we've covered food and power, let’s dive into another critical survival topic—water. Without access to clean water, survival becomes incredibly challenging. Today, we’ve invited three experts to share their knowledge on how to secure, purify, and store water during an emergency: Lisa Bedford, also known as The Survival Mom, Josh Kaufman, a water filtration specialist, and Ray Mears, a well-known wilderness survival expert. Welcome, everyone!
Lisa Bedford:
Thanks, Nick. Water is definitely one of those things people tend to overlook until it’s too late. In any survival situation, securing a reliable source of clean water should be a top priority. Without it, you can only last a few days, and dehydration hits faster than most people think.
Nick Sasaki:
Absolutely, Lisa. Josh, when we talk about water purification in a crisis, what’s the first method you would recommend to someone?
Josh Kaufman:
Thanks, Nick. The simplest method—and one of the most effective—is boiling. Boiling water for at least one minute will kill most harmful pathogens like bacteria, viruses, and parasites. If you can make fire, you can boil water. However, in situations where boiling isn’t practical, portable water filters are essential. There are many small, affordable filters on the market today, like LifeStraw or Sawyer filters, that can remove most contaminants from natural water sources.
Nick Sasaki:
Lisa, you've talked a lot about preparing in advance. What are your recommendations for storing water long-term, and how much should a household aim to have on hand?
Lisa Bedford:
Great question! The general rule is to store at least one gallon of water per person per day. If you're preparing for a family, aim to have a two-week supply for each person. You can store water in food-grade containers, and adding a small amount of unscented bleach can help keep it from becoming contaminated. I also recommend investing in large water storage barrels or even rainwater harvesting systems, which can be lifesavers in extended outages.
Nick Sasaki:
Ray, when it comes to wilderness survival, people can’t always carry large quantities of water. What techniques do you recommend for finding and purifying water in nature?
Ray Mears:
Thanks, Nick. In the wilderness, water is out there, but it might not always be obvious. Look for natural sources like rivers, streams, and lakes. If those aren’t available, you can collect dew from plants or dig solar stills in arid environments. As for purification, aside from boiling, I always carry a portable filter or purification tablets. But if you’re really in a pinch, you can filter water through materials like sand, charcoal, and gravel in a basic DIY filtration system. It won’t be perfect, but it can help make the water safer to drink.
Nick Sasaki:
That’s fascinating, Ray. Josh, is there a more permanent solution for people who live in areas prone to water shortages or who are preparing for long-term emergencies?
Josh Kaufman:
Yes, definitely. Setting up a home water purification system is a great long-term strategy. There are gravity-fed systems like Berkey filters, which can handle large amounts of water and are highly effective at removing contaminants. Another option is ultraviolet (UV) light purifiers, which are great for killing pathogens in water but require electricity or battery power. If you live in an area with access to groundwater, a well with a manual pump is ideal for long-term water security.
Nick Sasaki:
Lisa, can you talk about rainwater harvesting and its viability in an emergency?
Lisa Bedford:
Rainwater harvesting is an excellent option, especially if you live in an area that gets consistent rainfall. You can set up a system to collect rainwater from your roof and store it in large barrels. Just make sure you filter and purify it before drinking, as it can pick up contaminants from the roof. Even if you can’t drink it right away, harvested rainwater is great for washing and other non-potable uses.
Nick Sasaki:
Ray, in wilderness survival situations, is there any way to make sure you always have access to water?
Ray Mears:
One of the most important wilderness survival principles is to never leave a known water source unless you’re sure there’s another one ahead. In survival situations, you can also look for signs of water, like certain types of plants or animal tracks. Remember that animals, especially birds, often lead to water. Staying close to water sources is a priority, as dehydration can set in faster than you realize.
Nick Sasaki:
Josh, any final thoughts on the best tools or systems for ensuring clean water in a long-term survival scenario?
Josh Kaufman:
I’d say redundancy is key. Have multiple methods to purify water—boiling, filtering, and chemical treatments—because you never know what situation you’ll face. And don’t overlook the importance of proper storage. Contaminated water can undo all your efforts, so make sure you store it properly and have backup purification methods available.
Nick Sasaki:
Lisa, Ray, Josh—thank you all for your insights. Water is absolutely essential to survival, and it’s clear there are many ways to secure and purify it in both urban and wilderness settings. Let’s move on to our next topic!
Communication and Power Solutions
Nick Sasaki (Moderator):
Let’s now focus on an essential topic: maintaining communication and power during emergencies. Whether it’s a natural disaster or widespread grid failure, staying connected and keeping vital electronics operational can mean the difference between life and death. To explore this, we’ve brought in some of the best minds in the field: Cody Lundin, survival instructor and author, David Pogue, a technology expert, and Robert Vicino, the founder of the Vivos underground shelter network. Thank you for joining us today!
Cody Lundin:
Thanks, Nick. Communication and power are key, especially when you're cut off from the usual resources. You can't just rely on your phone or the internet in a long-term crisis. That's why it's so important to think ahead about how you’ll communicate and generate power when the grid goes down.
Nick Sasaki:
Absolutely. David, you’ve written extensively on technology solutions. What tools can people use to stay connected in situations where traditional communication networks fail?
David Pogue:
Great question, Nick. One of the most important tools to have in your emergency kit is a satellite phone. Unlike regular cell phones, satellite phones don’t rely on local networks—they connect directly to satellites, meaning you can communicate from almost anywhere, as long as you have a clear view of the sky. Another option is HAM radios, which allow for long-distance communication and can often operate on solar or hand-cranked power. I also recommend portable solar chargers for keeping devices like phones and radios powered up when the grid is down.
Nick Sasaki:
Cody, you often emphasize preparedness. What low-tech methods of communication do you suggest when even satellite phones or radios aren’t available?
Cody Lundin:
If all else fails, you can always rely on good old-fashioned signaling techniques. Whistles, signal fires, mirrors, and flags can communicate your location or send distress signals over long distances. It’s basic, but it works. Also, having pre-arranged meeting points with family or community members can be crucial when communication lines are completely cut.
Nick Sasaki:
Robert, when it comes to power generation, many people focus on short-term solutions like generators. But what about long-term scenarios? What’s your approach in the shelters you design?
Robert Vicino:
Thanks, Nick. Long-term power generation is critical in any survival scenario, especially when you’re in a remote or isolated location. In our Vivos shelters, we focus on redundancy. We have multiple systems in place, from solar panels to wind turbines and even manual generators. Solar power is an excellent primary solution because it’s sustainable, but you always need backup systems in case of bad weather or other failures. Battery storage is also key—lithium batteries are compact and can store a lot of energy for use when the sun isn’t shining.
Nick Sasaki:
David, speaking of solar power, how viable are portable solar solutions for the average household? Are they practical in an emergency?
David Pogue:
Yes, absolutely. Portable solar panels have come a long way—they’re lighter, more efficient, and more affordable than ever before. You can set up a small solar panel kit with a battery pack to charge essentials like phones, radios, or small lights. For more power-hungry devices, you’ll need a larger setup, but for basic communication tools, small portable panels are incredibly practical.
Nick Sasaki:
Cody, in your experience with wilderness survival, what’s your go-to solution for generating power when you’re far away from any civilization?
Cody Lundin:
In a wilderness setting, solar power is your best bet. You can bring portable solar panels that are lightweight and foldable. I also like hand-cranked chargers. They don’t generate a lot of power, but if you need to power a small radio or recharge a battery in a pinch, they can do the job. For longer stays in the wilderness, though, you’ll want to build systems that are sustainable, like solar or wind.
Nick Sasaki:
Robert, when it comes to underground shelters, how do you ensure that people can maintain communication with the outside world?
Robert Vicino:
In our shelters, we integrate communication systems like HAM radios and satellite phones, along with encrypted communication lines for privacy. These systems are protected by Faraday cages to guard against EMPs or solar flares. We also have backup systems in place to ensure that if one method fails, there's always another way to stay in touch with the outside world. The key is to have multiple options so that you’re never completely cut off.
Nick Sasaki:
That’s a great point. David, what about staying informed? If communication networks are down, how can people still access critical information?
David Pogue:
In addition to HAM radios, which allow you to receive updates from operators around the world, I recommend having a NOAA weather radio. These radios provide emergency alerts even when phone and internet networks are down. Some of them are solar-powered or have hand-crank mechanisms, which makes them ideal for long-term use during outages.
Nick Sasaki:
Cody, are there any old-school techniques for staying informed that people should know about?
Cody Lundin:
Absolutely. Knowing how to read the environment is key. If communication fails, you can rely on your understanding of weather patterns, animal behavior, and the environment around you. There’s a wealth of information in nature if you know how to look for it—cloud formations, wind patterns, and even certain bird migrations can tell you what’s coming.
Nick Sasaki:
Great insights, Cody. Robert, what are some final thoughts on how people can prepare for communication and power outages, especially for long-term scenarios?
Robert Vicino:
My advice is to plan for the worst and hope for the best. Invest in durable, long-term solutions like solar panels and backup batteries. Don’t just rely on one form of communication—have multiple systems in place. Prepare mentally and practically for a scenario where the grid is down for weeks or even months. Being prepared means you won’t have to panic when it happens.
Nick Sasaki:
Thank you, Robert, Cody, and David. Clearly, staying connected and powered up in a crisis requires planning and multiple layers of preparation. Let’s move on to our final topic!
Bartering, Self-Sufficiency, and Community Support
Nick Sasaki (Moderator):
Now, let’s focus on how to thrive when external resources become limited—whether due to economic collapse, supply chain disruptions, or other crises. Bartering, building self-sufficiency, and relying on community support can help us navigate through challenging times. To guide us on this, we have Jim Cobb, an expert in urban survival, Marjory Wildcraft, founder of The Grow Network, and James Wesley Rawles, a former U.S. Army Intelligence officer and the author of SurvivalBlog.
Nick Sasaki:
Jim, let’s start with you. When conventional currency becomes unreliable, bartering often becomes the go-to system. What items do you recommend people stockpile or have on hand for bartering in a survival scenario?
Jim Cobb:
Thanks, Nick. Bartering can become essential in a situation where money loses its value. The key is to stockpile items that will be in high demand. Think about things people will need but may not have planned for—things like water purification tablets, batteries, first aid supplies, and hygiene products. Food, of course, is a big one, but it’s also bulky and harder to store. Small, high-demand items like alcohol, tobacco, and even coffee can be incredibly valuable in a bartering system.
Nick Sasaki:
Marjory, you’ve dedicated your life to teaching people how to grow their own food and become self-sufficient. In a situation where the grocery stores are empty, what are the most practical things people can grow at home to keep themselves fed?
Marjory Wildcraft:
Absolutely, Nick. The first thing people should focus on is growing high-calorie crops that are easy to maintain, like potatoes, sweet potatoes, and beans. These provide the energy you’ll need to keep going. Beyond that, herbs and leafy greens like spinach and kale are nutrient-dense and can grow quickly, even indoors if you have limited space. Another great option is raising small livestock like chickens or rabbits, which can provide a sustainable source of protein.
Nick Sasaki:
James, your expertise in survival communities is invaluable here. What role does building a strong, self-sufficient community play in these scenarios, and how do we ensure mutual support within these communities?
James Wesley Rawles:
Thanks, Nick. Building a network of trusted individuals is crucial. No one can do everything alone—whether it’s growing food, providing security, or managing medical needs. Communities that pool resources and skills are far more resilient. One person might be great at gardening, while another has medical training, and someone else knows how to fix mechanical equipment. Together, they can support each other. The key is to establish these relationships early, before a crisis hits, so that when the time comes, everyone knows their role.
Nick Sasaki:
Jim, in terms of urban environments, what are some specific bartering strategies you suggest for people living in densely populated areas?
Jim Cobb:
In urban areas, space is a premium, so people might not have a lot of storage room for large supplies. That’s why you should focus on compact, high-value items. Pharmaceuticals—whether over-the-counter or prescription medications—will be in high demand. Tools like multi-tools or portable cooking equipment also hold a lot of value. It’s important to think about mobility too. If you’re in an urban area and need to move quickly, you’ll want bartering items that are easy to transport.
Nick Sasaki:
Marjory, for those with limited space, like people living in apartments, what’s the best way to get started with indoor or small-space gardening?
Marjory Wildcraft:
It’s definitely possible, even in tight spaces. Start with container gardening—herbs and vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce grow well in pots or vertical planters. If you have a balcony or a sunny window, you can make use of natural light, but if not, grow lights can help. You’d be amazed how much you can grow in a small space. Even sprouting seeds like mung beans or alfalfa in jars can provide a quick, nutritious source of food. The key is to start now and learn what works best in your space.
Nick Sasaki:
James, what are the challenges in maintaining a cooperative community, especially when resources are scarce and tensions are high?
James Wesley Rawles:
One of the biggest challenges is maintaining trust and ensuring fair distribution of resources. In a crisis, fear can drive people to act irrationally. That’s why it’s crucial to establish clear rules and expectations from the start. Create a system for sharing resources fairly, and designate roles so that everyone contributes. Strong leadership and communication are key to keeping the group united, especially when things get tough.
Nick Sasaki:
Jim, any final thoughts on how to effectively barter in a long-term crisis?
Jim Cobb:
The most important thing is to be adaptable. Needs will change over time, so what’s valuable today might not be tomorrow. Stay informed, keep an eye on trends within your community, and be prepared to trade services, not just goods. Skills like first aid, repair work, or food preservation could be as valuable as any physical item.
Nick Sasaki:
Marjory, what’s your final word of advice for people who want to become more self-sufficient in their food supply?
Marjory Wildcraft:
Start small, but start now. Even if you can only grow a few herbs or a small garden, the knowledge and experience you gain will be invaluable. Self-sufficiency isn’t just about having the right tools; it’s about learning and adapting. The sooner you begin, the better prepared you’ll be when a crisis hits.
Nick Sasaki:
James, any closing thoughts on building and sustaining a strong community in survival situations?
James Wesley Rawles:
Prepare early, build strong relationships, and always keep communication open. A well-organized and cooperative community can weather just about any storm. It’s about people coming together, pooling their resources and skills, and creating a system that works for everyone involved.
Nick Sasaki:
Thank you, Jim, Marjory, and James, for your insights. Building self-sufficiency and strong community networks is vital for survival during times of crisis. These strategies will help us not only survive but thrive in uncertain times.
