Foraging for Tea

Here are some examples of plants and herbs that are easily foraged, and make great teas. I’ve listed some, but not nearly all, of their benefits.

Please be 100% sure how to identify any plant that you intend to ingest, use topically, or use medicinally. You could die. Or shit your pants.

> Mint– Prolific, easy to grow, delicious. Good for brain function and indigestion.

> Lemon Balm– Good for anxiety, wounds, and sleep disorders.

> Chamomile- The flower makes a relaxing tea that is also renowned for many health benefits including migraine relief, diabetes prevention, and anxiety relief.

> Plantain– Known as a medicinal plant used for many purposes like insect bites and stings. Also a good tea for when you’re feeling ill. Also helps detoxify your blood.

> Dandelion Root– Good for lowering cholesterol, weight loss, cardiovascular health, and immune system boost, among other benefits.

> Red Raspberry Leaf– This tea is famous for uterine health.

> Carrot Greens– This is one that you’ll have to do your own research on. Some say that carrot greens are toxic, others say that they’re a market vegetable in many countries. I won’t tell you that you should consume carrot greens, but I’m not dead yet.

> Echinacea– Known for immunity benefits.

> Basil– This works well for sore throats, headaches, and upset stomachs.

> Wintergreen– Great for stress relief.

> Catnip– Fever reducer, migraine reducer, toxin flush, anxiety relief.

> Red Clover– Enhance immunity, treat infertility, prevent cancer, maintain bone strength.

> Fruits– Try blackberry, raspberry, strawberry leaf, and elderflower teas, among others.

This is a one-time self-shill. You can’t blame me for trying. Help support new content, and my family’s journey. I’ve set it up so that you can help us financially, without costing yourself a single penny. The next time you plan on making any type of purchase from Amazon, type into your browser: HootDepot.com. This is a redirect that I’ve created, and it will take you directly to the Amazon main page. As an affiliate, I receive a small % commission on anything you purchase during that log-in session. They’re literally just paying me for directing traffic. It’s generally between 1-10%, depending on what you purchase (it takes a long time to add up on my end). There’s nothing glowy about it, and I can’t see who’s using it, or any of your personal information. All I see is the 35 cents, or whatever. Rather than attempt to create any monetized content, or any type of pay wall, I figured this would be the best alternative. It doesn’t cost you anything extra, beyond a few keystrokes. Bookmark it, and boogaloo.
Remember to update the Telegram app and use the new folders feature. It's such a helpful tool to keep track of things and not get lost in the sea of information or miss important messages from certain channels or people just because it's "that time of the day when everyone's posting." It also allows to pin to top unlimited amount of channels in each folder.

It makes a total diference, you can organice everything, its better to do with the PC.

Benefits of Companion Planting
There are so many benefits of companion planting, some of which I’ve already mentioned above. Aside from making nutrients available to other plants (and thus making them taste better), companion planting also achieves the following (2):

1. Minimizes Risk
If one crop fails or is affected by harsh weather, pests or disease, the overall yield of your plot may be increased by limiting the spread. To minimize risk, you’ll want to focus on creating the best natural growth patterns and diversity in your space. Avoid large monocultures (for example, a giant plot of tomatoes in one section), and instead focus on polycultures that mimick the way plants would grow in nature.

2. Crop Protection
Companion planting can offer shelter from harsh weather (like lots of wind or too much sun) to more delicate plants. Growing delicate plants next to more heartier ones that have the foliage and strength to withstand such conditions will guarantee the growth success of your smaller plants.

3. Trap Cropping
Companion planting also offers the best organic pest management. If one crop is more susceptible to pest infestation, try planting beneficial plants next to that crop that the pests despise. This will assist in protecting the pest-vulnerable plants.

4. Positive Hosting
By planting your fruit and veggies next to plants (like certain flowers) that produce a surplus of nectar and pollen, you can increase the population of beneficial insects while helping you manage your harmful pest population

Foremost among the many problems that can compromise a survivor’s ability to return to safety are medical problems resulting from parachute descent and landing, extreme climates, ground combat, evasion, and illnesses contracted in captivity.

Survivors have related feeling of apathy and helplessness because they could not treat themselves in this environment. The ability to treat themselves increased their morale and cohesion and aided in their survival and eventual return to friendly forces.

With so much info, so many conspiracies going through the channels shit is really difficult and hard to decipher and really know what's the truth.

Corona, china, trillion dollar bailouts, 5G, celebs and politicians getting strangely infected etc...

This can demoralize and confuse us as it becomes very difficult to really decide a concrete path or direction to guide your life and goals /efforts.

Just remember through all of this frens:

Take care on what you can do with the help of God, everything else outside of what you can do, Pray and Trust in God, he is the Lord of History, he is in controll.

We're all gonna make it. hold to your family. These will ALWAYS be truths to follow.

Remember that using birch and pine as regular firewood can be dangerous if you are burning them in a chimney.

Pine resin gets stuck to the walls of the chimney after having burnt and make it easier for a chimney fire to start.

Birch is very flammable and produces a tall flame that can get to the soot of the chimney and ignite it.

Avoid those trees wood if possible or use them just as fire starters if you are not burning them in a campfire.

CURING MEATS

I almost didn’t post this one, because there’s just a little too much room for error. However, I’m just gonna send it, and warn you of whatever obvious mistakes you can make along the way. This has been a common way of preserving meats for thousands of years, so I’m sure you’ll be fine.

This can be done with any type of meat, really, although pork is the most typical.

Getting your meat dried out relies on several factors:

- Size: The larger the piece of meat, the longer it will take to dry it out.
- Temperature: Higher temperatures will speed the process of curing. Speed isn’t always a good thing.
- Fat: The more fat a piece of meat has, the longer it takes to cure.
- Salt: Salt is the primary drying agent when curing meats. The more salt you use, the faster the meat will cure.
- pH: A higher pH means a slower curing process.

You will need:

- Meat: You can use pork, beef, veal, lamb, poultry, and fish. Different cuts of pork will give you the best color and flavor. Lamb, veal, and beef can be cured, but they’ll lose a lot of their protein and nutrients. Poultry and fish do pretty well with curing.
- Salt: Salt is the most important ingredient in curing, besides the meat. Salt draws the water out of the meat, and kills microorganisms in the meat.
- Sugar: Sugar is not required; however, you will want to use it for flavor. It cuts the harsh flavor of the salt.
- Nitrates and nitrites: You’ll have to buy these. Sorry. Saltpeter was used in the past to cure meats, even before people knew what nitrates were. Nitrates and nitrites kill bacteria in the meat, but they also give the meat a nice pink color. Without them, you will have shitty gray meats. They can be harmful to people in large quantities, so follow recipes carefully and never use more than is suggested.

Where you do this is up to you. In theory, you can hang it in your garage, barn, or shed. The kicker is that you need the exact right conditions, or you’ll fuck it all up.

> The temperature for your curing area should be between 50-60 degrees F. At temperatures above 60 degrees, bacteria will be able to grow, and below 50 degrees, it will slow the curing process too much.

> Humidity needs to be between 70-75%. If it gets below 70, your meat will dry out too quickly on the outside while the inside will become spoiled. If the humidity is too high, you run the risk of the meat not drying out and of growing bad mold on it. Airflow is necessary because it helps to dry the meat and prevents the growth of these bad molds.

Turn back now.

This post will not include a recipe. These are merely the basics. I’ll get into that in later posts. What’s important is that you follow the recipes as closely as possible, as well as these safety tips word-for-word.

Most recipes you find will tell you how long you need to hang your meat to cure. I’m going to tell you to weigh your meat before you hang it. When it has lost 35% of its weight, it’s ready.

When in doubt, throw it out.

Pigs take up very little space, and if raised in a proper pen, can grow extremely fast. You can pull a 325lb pig in 200 days, and have a freezer full of meat all year long. Pigs are social animals, so you’ll need at least two.

That’s a lot of meat. If you play your cards right, you can trade for beef or venison, and have a well-rounded meat freezer for your family. Alternatively, keep one/sell one.

Soon enough, you’ll find yourself profiting, and eating fresh homegrown meat that pays for itself.
