Long term self sustaining food and water plans?

[J Tactical Firearms]

I would like to have some property in the mountains one day and have been wondering about longterm self sustainability i.e. food and water. I guess with a well you would be good on water? Have been wondering what types of things to grow,store,etc.? Trying to think long term off the grid.

Take a look around. Also take a look at the sticky's. This forum is kinda new but many have years of experience. Many of your questions will be brought to light. And welcome again.

What do you think you'll be growing in the mountains?

[Mtn.man]

Taters, carrots, lettuce, spinach, radish's, broccolli, strawberry's, peas, and in the green house maters, cukes, beans, and whatever else I can.
Have a plum tree, and an apple tree, both blooming.
Deer are a problem so have to fence your open garden and your fruit trees.

How long is the growing season, and what altitude are you at?

Well you can hunt and eat the deer when/if the time comes that there is no law to really care about poaching... that or get a hunting license- the human body needs protein and as much as the vegetarians claim you really have to eat meat to sustain a certain level of health.

You'll need a green house

Only if you have the power to pump it out of the ground!
