Original "Lost" ?
This is a synopsis of the Jueles Verne novel "Mysterious Island"
During the American Civil War, five Northern prisoners of war escape by hijacking a hydrogen-filled observation balloon. After flying in a great storm for several days, the group crash-lands on a cliff-bound, volcanic, unknown island.They name it "Lincoln Island". With the knowledge of the brilliant engineer Smith, the five are able to sustain themselves on the island, producing fire, pottery, bricks, nitroglycerin, iron, a simple electric telegraph, a cave home inside a stony cliff and even a seaworthy ship.
Awsome book ( I listened to the audio book, free on Librovox ) . -
Are you Growing ?
. When farming off the grid, you want to diversify crops and animals living on your land, doing so will first give you a wide selection of food to eat, which will provide you with the necessary nutrients. But also diversifying helps you reduce pests, fungi and weeds that like to infest a particular crop or animal. Growing a variety of crops, and keeping a variety of animals, is better for the soil; each crop takes something different out of it, the pests and diseases of each crop die of starvation the next year when another crop occupies that piece of ground, the plants feed the animals and the animals feed the plants. It’s that simple.
