Illegitimate Sun

Went to Eckert’s this past weekend with the Amy.

There we picked apples. There were rows and rows of trees overflowing with apples. We literally had our pick of the bunch and in five minutes picked close to twenty pounds of apples.

Such ease of harvest is one of the key features necessary for a shack foodstuff.

The other feature is ease of storage combined with multiple types of usage.

Apples meet this standard too.

Apples can be stored whole, dried, jellied, canned, juiced and fermented.

Even the trees as useful as blossoming trees provide lots of pollen for the beehives I plan to stock. Bees pollinating the flowers would lead to more apples.

This is the lazy kind of survivalism to which I look forward.
