RE: How many people can land support?
Most members on here grow or rear their own food .....some in big quantities .....most in smaller quantities and some even in containers on a window cill ,which is fine ! .....my point being ....it’s just the natural mindset of a survivalist and in fact most human thing to do in reality , I am not aware of any one member that has achieved total self sufficient status but I could be wrong ? ....but most all try in some shape or form to have some control over even a minimal supply of food ......as MB pointed out to be totally self sufficient is a dream for many who attempt it , and most fail at it , but we should not be put off with any set backs or failures ....just learn from them ! MB mentions he is too old to toll away on his lot ......I doubt that ....he’s not the type to curl up and give in....not a bastard chance! ......a few moons back in a thread on here , we were talking to members who lived in inner city areas .....BP , me and many others were suggesting they hightail it out of there! ASAP .....easy to say ...not that easy in truth especially with a few kids BUT ......we all have choices....in my case I knew what I wanted and the why I wanted it detached house with land ....to do what I am doing NOW ....these shoulders have held up in bad times and in the good .....thing is it’s no good making excuses for why you can’t grow something or keep some chickens and so on ......you must find ways to get where you want to be and MAKE it happen ,if you want it bad enough you can force it to come to pass .......rent allotments or share with another person ....keep your ear to the ground for any old chaps thinking of giving up their plot or looking like MB ........that’s why I walk shoulders back and look real menacing why a young guy walks on by ......so Mick what are you growing pal .
