Survival Prepper Gardening – Is It Worth It?

Some people choose to garden as preppers. Not peppers, spell check, PREPPERS. As in preparing for the worst case scenario, preparing for the grid and the supply chain to go down, preparing for when SHTF.

A common question proposed is, “What if people steal all your stored food and destroy your garden? Is it even worth it?” Valid question. The hard truth is that, yes, in a worst case scenario that’s likely to happen.

But is it worth it?

YES!

Why?

Even if your garden gets destroyed and your stored food is stolen, you gained survival skills. You know how to keep moving forward. You know how to start again. You have gained an understanding of how nature works, of working with plants to start anew, of preserving food, and more. The skills and knowledge you keep no matter what happens.

And if SHTF, you’re going to be one of the most valuable assets to your group. Prepping is so much more than storing food and gear. The most important tool to prepare is your mind. Reading is one thing, actual hands-on experience is where the real value is gained.

Get gardening! Grow some food!
