Kudzu, pineneedle tea, Rabbits, and a pressure cooker

[357maxm]

For most of my life, I have read on and experienced survival/homesteading methods. I remember my grandfather teaching how to build figure-four traps, snare, etc.. So you could say I have been learning survival skills all my life.

When I look back at my grandparents and how they ate, I can now say they are survivors superior. They ate about every mammal and edible plant in the south. So... long story short. Here are four things from many they taught me about survival eating:

1. Kudzu is very good and high in vitamins.
2. pine needle tea is very high in vitamin C
3. Grow Rabbits - very high in protein
4. A good pressure cooker is a life saver. IT will kill all the bad stuff

plus: Sweet potatoes are a excellent and good for you

Does anyone have anymore tips?

Chickens gives you both eggs and meat I have never paid for eggs but often by chicken meat because I dont have that many anyway.

I think a good stand of kudzu would be better to feed you livestock than eat yourself.

I'm not saying I wouldn't in a survival situation, but I'd rather feed it to the pigs and make bacon, feed it to the goats and make goat cheese, and feed it to the sheep and make a wool sweater!
