Flipboard Culture Desk<p>Switzerland has more bunkers per capita than anywhere else in the world — in the event of a crisis, every resident of the country would be guaranteed shelter space. The Dial takes a look at the origins of the bunker-building policy, what the underground shelters provide, and how they're used during peacetime — as wine cellars, saunas and even, in the case of large "command posts," as overflow housing for refugees.</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/xHke8p" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/xHke8p</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Switzerland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Switzerland</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Culture</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ColdWar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColdWar</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/histodons" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>histodons</span></a></span> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/EmergencyPreparedness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EmergencyPreparedness</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Prepping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Prepping</span></a></p>
MountainWitch ⛤:flag_bisexual:<p>If you intend on saving seeds, now is the time to start planning it. <br>Saving seeds is very satisfying because it’s like getting free food. After the harvest for bought seeds, you have used the monetary value. When you save seeds further on, it’s all free.<br>Make sure you are saving seeds from open pollinated plants, not hybrids. If you can get hybrids to germinate, the resulting plant may not resemble what you expected to get. This is especially true for things like squash. So, be aware of this when purchasing seeds for future seed saving.<br>You can try saving any seed but my favourite seeds to save are the following:</p><p>Peas- there are always pea pods that got missed in the harvest and I pull the plants, hang them in a dry spot and when the lingering pods have dried, shell them, leave them to dry further on a baking sheet then jar and label.</p><p>Scarlett Runner beans- these are easy to let a few get too big to eat and they are well able to be germinated the following year. Be sure to pick the seed pods before a hard frost so as to not damage the seeds. The best seeds are the huge purple mottled ones that release without hesitation from the pod when the pod is split open. Be careful to not accidentally slice the seed with your fingernail when opening the pod. Dry the seeds on a sheet then store in a jar. Use the same the method for other bean varieties such as black turtle beans.</p><p>Dill, fennel and onion- these all will go flying off the plant when they are fully ripe so JUST before that, I pick them and put them into paper bags, then you can catch the seeds as they fully ripen and fall from the plant. Otherwise, they just reseed all over the ground which is fine but you have to move them to where you want the plants in the spring.</p><p>Garlic- the key to saving garlic for seeds is in the harvest. Garlic is picky to harvest so that it lasts in the pantry until the following year. I pick the scapes when they have done 2 full circles but not yet begun to uncurl again. Then, stop watering the garlic 2 weeks before harvest, so the paper covering has a chance to develop. Hang them in loose bunches out of the sun in a breezy spot outside until they are very dry and the green tops are all brown. Then, trim the roots, and store inside in a cool, dry breezy spot. Choose the heads with the largest cloves to plant later that year a couple of weeks before the ground freezes just so they can develop roots but not grow up out of the soil.</p><p>Marigold, Nasturtium, Coreopsis, Morning Glory-(NOT wild bindweed)- these flower seeds are all easy to save, just don’t deadhead the tops you want to save for seeds and wait until they are very dry, gently pull the seed heads into your palm and carefully rub the seeds from their casings. Make sure they are fully dry, then jar and label.</p><p>Carrot, Beets, Parsnips- the seeds from these plants don’t develop until the second year so you have to leave your desired plants in the ground and let the plant grow again in the spring. Then, let the plant go to flower and save the seeds from that. You usually will need to save many more seeds than you think you will need because the germination rates are a little lower for these plants.</p><p>Potatoes- You can just let a few missed ones grow the following year but this does not allow for crop rotation and often the missed potatoes are small and don’t make good plants the following year. Save some perfect undamaged large potatoes until the following spring. Chit them, that is let the seed potatoes sprout a tiny bit in the light before planting them. Most storage potatoes will have started to sprout in the spring anyway. I have found that planing the whole potato and not cutting it into separate eye/sprouting sections results in a bigger and more robust plant. Keep in mind that buying and planting certified seed potatoes does help prevent potato diseases from persisting year to year. </p><p>Sunflower- make sure you let them fully ripen on the flower head so the seeds come off with only a gentle coaxing. </p><p>Walking or multiplier onions- these are great, they do their own thing but have to be re-situated as they will end up where they want.</p><p>Plants to be wary of: mustard, common oregano and mints, will all end up taking over your yard with no help from you. Be aware of this if you want to grow these plants.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/homesteading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homesteading</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gardenmagic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardenmagic</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prepping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prepping</span></a></p>

MountainWitch ⛤:flag_bisexual:<p>I have posted about this before but it's worth restating after reading a harrowing account of someone fleeing a huge wildfires recently in Oklahoma. </p><p>In my mountainous region in southern BC, we usually only have a bad fire situation once every couple of years. So, we do up our preps when a big one is nearby then, when the next year is rainy, we don't think about it. Before you know it, several years have gone by and we assume things are ready to go. </p><p>Prepping for disaster is not one and done. I have absolutely let some of these things go and I am now going to do a thorough re-check of all the preps this spring. </p><p>Are your fire extinguishers up to date and not expired, especially the vehicle and trailer ones?<br>Are your towing vehicles serviced and up to date, as well as tires for your trailer if you use one? Think bearings, etc.<br>Do you have disaster-specific preps for your area such as fire blankets in fire prone areas? Have you considered what you will do if the road out suddenly becomes blocked by fallen trees or power lines? (saws and axes could save you)</p><p>Are your pet preps altogether and practised for use such as getting harnesses and leashes on cats and getting them into carriers? Check pet foods, dishes, water, meds.</p><p>Have you practised with new equipment such as solar panels, inverters, generators, radio equipment, anything that you will need if you suddenly find yourself off-grid and self-reliant for an extended period? </p><p>Do you have particulate (smoke) face masks not just medical ones? </p><p>Do you have a list of important phone numbers and have you checked that those numbers are up to date? If your phone breaks or you forget a charger and the battery runs down, how many of you have important phone numbers memorized? Not me, that's for sure. I recently checked my list and found that 2 of my 3 kid's numbers had changed. </p><p>Are your medical kits up to date? <br>I recently smashed my foot rather badly and was using extremely past dated bactine to wash the blood off. It was fine but you can be sure I now have all up to date supplies for the house. Also, if you disable one hand, are your medical supplies accessible with the other hand, while possible bleeding and in pain? You never think of this until it happens to you.<br> <br>The best thing to do is to think through all the scenarios, practice, and check your stuff all the time. You don't need it until you need it then it's too late. </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prepping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prepping</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GetPrepared" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GetPrepared</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/climateemergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climateemergency</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/climatedisaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>climatedisaster</span></a></p>

In mid-March Trump bulldozed over two major red lines: detention without trial and open defiance of the courts. There is now talk of the Insurrection Act and martial law. All the open protests may or may not be able to deter this.</p><p>This is in some ways like a hurricane: some must evacuate, some cannot evacuate. On the other hand, you can't fight a hurricane and push it away, but you can fight fascism.</p><p>Run, hide, fight: whatever your plan is, know what it is, make important decisions now. Rehearse any specifics: you fight like you train and you also run like you train. Get your gear (especially vehicles) as reliable as you can make it. Assume any gear you can't trust with your life may have to be left behind. Know what you intend to do if food or medicine becomes unavailable.</p>
MountainWitch ⛤:flag_bisexual:<p>If someone gave you a spinning wheel, a loom and a sheep, you COULD make your own clothes. But it would probably take you years to teach yourself how and you would be freezing and in rags before you figured it out. However, if you were also friends with someone who knew how to look after the sheep, shear it's wool, clean, card and spin that wool, weave the threads on the loom and then show you how to cut and sew a garment, it would go much faster. </p><p>Now if you ALREADY had those skills when you had the leisure time, money and people/resources to learn, you would not only be way ahead of the game but you could sell or barter your product and your knowledge as the needs arise. </p><p>Think about all the things you have and use that you have no idea how they were produced or where they came from. Think about all the people in your community with different skills and talents that you could learn from or trade and barter from.</p><p>The point is, learn some primitive skills now. Find out what you have inherent talent in. Experiment. Look for local resources. Find your people. Learn all kinds of different ways to look after yourself and your family when things collapse.

Not only because it is often wrong, it does not take into account road or bridge construction, or other obstructions, but because it is controlled by people that might not have your best interests in mind.

MountainWitch ⛤:flag_bisexual:<p>A continually horrified friend ask me how I can handle seeing this stuff day after day without losing it. I sent her a long answer and I have taken out the really vulnerable personal bits but here is the gist of it. She was saying things like don't look, read a book instead, turn off everything? My answer is that I guess you can do that if it makes you feel better but for me, it is all still there anyway, it's not going away and getting worse while I'm not looking. So for me, thinking of the world situation as chronic illness instead of acute illness is how I cope. </p><p>We must live WITH the knowledge that our world is changed, perilous and our days will be days as warriors WHILE we water the plants, while we feed the animals, while we grow and preserve food, while we look after each other and create an ever growing list of friends and allies. We walk alongside this now instead of fighting against it. It's easier for me now as I read each new thing or watch each new video because it is no long switching up my world view or shifting my paradigm but it is simply adding to my knowledge base which is helping me to be a more effective warrior. My goal now is to spread as much knowledge and awareness as I can while at the same time, keeping the roof over my family's head and healthy food in the pantry. As many people as possible refusing to capitulate to these monsters is the only way forward.
