I first thought about writing a review on Season 1 of Discovery Channels reality show called ‘The Colony‘ that was about a group of people playing Survivalist after a catastrophic event in L.A. Then I thought better of it after watching the show. I knew that many of you people out there saw it for the same thing I did. A show developed by Hollywood in an attempt to entertain the masses. I imagine that just like me, you thought most of it was utterly ridiculous. They show’s producers really went out of their way to tell anyone who would listen that this closely simulated a survival situation that could happen after a real disaster.

The Survivalist’s Instant Garden
April 30th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Gardening, Survival Skills
I can’t take credit for this idea I had about making an instant survival garden. I once read about this topsoil bag gardening method in a magazine, the name of which I can’t remember. But I do remember that I found it very interesting and filed it away in the back of my mind as something I wanted to try. Well, recently I realized that it’s almost May and I never got around to planting a herb garden. I’ve never been a herb gardener and I always wanted to try and raise my own and start practicing a few herbal remedies I’ve been researching.
