a CME would be one of the more serious SHTF – one of the predicted SHTFs however …. for what’s it’s worth FEMA would be fully alerted – so would the military and the guard units federalized ….the post-SHTF would play out just as it’s been discusse…

@casualprepper- Don’t be deterred by bad soil. As a suggestion, you could try container gardening, and get better soil from somewhere else. I recently had to move and that’s the mode I find myself in at the moment. I went from a decent sized and produ…
