To tie 2 things discussed here together…overwintering greens and sprouts.
When I overwinter kale and similar greens in the low tunnel they tend to go to seed pretty early the following growing season. I let them mature then
cut the whole plant out, turned upside down in a bag and shook all the seeds loose. From just a few plants I got maybe 2-3 cups worth of kale seeds. This would be a great source for sprouts the following winter.
@steveb4 I second Fathead dough.
I use a heating pad/cotton setup for sprouting a small amount of seeds for the winter indoor garden. I’ve had issues with seeds started this way, as they become tangled pretty quick and most of the time they are hard to put in the ground later.
Unless the purpose here was to grow microgreens for a tasty green feast, these things taste AMAZING on bread&butter 
I think the solution to this problem is importing a car that can run on biofuel. I think the US has laws according to which you can make your fuel, and you can make it out of corn (or any high-sugar crop) yourself, it’s basically highly-concentrated alcohol with motor oil component. Old cars can run on this as well, but you have to pay attention not to dry the engine.
These are rather reliable and in wide use in South America. The product of the burning is water vapor + small amount of caron dioxide.
I’ve set up an emergency home heating rig with this tech (basically a burning chamber filled with fiberglass), and it’s fairly reliable plus I can make the fuel myself if need be.
Your handle likely has an IP address associated with it (unless the site in question doesn’t log it or use cookies). Your ISP associates your name and IP address. The govt can easily compel either of those parties to cough up information, unless the NSA already has it somehow.
The purpose is to eat the sprouts. Microgreens are grown differently and take a little more work and materials. Sprouts are easier to grow. 
@lordkiwi @steveb4 — my wife was off today and made us a Keto fathead dough Pizza for lunch…
For anyone interested fathead dough is made with mostly cheese… Mozzarella, Cream Cheese, almond flour, egg… (search youtube for Joe Duff fathead dough) for details.
We use Rao’s Pizza Sauce (it is a very good low carb sauce)… Add in our own spices for the dough and toppings, garlic powder, chives, Italian seasoning, etc…
A combination of Mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan cheese, and sausage and pepperoni (in this case).
Pizza can definately be done low carb and delicious.

i tried a pizza crust recipie from a paleo flour label which had similar ingredients minus the cheese. i didnt think it was too bad. wife hated it and she usually isnt fussy. ill have to try yours as we both love pizza but not what it does to the waistline.
We have tried cauliflower crust on various occasions with varying levels of success. If done correctly it is pretty great. If done incorrectly it is usually pretty mushy and unappealing 
Before you ask- I’m not sure which recipes we’ve used but I do seem to remember a low temperature oven bake prior to blending being helpful.
I just tried the fathead pizza dough for the first time and I am very highly impressed. It actually tastes and feels like a pizza crust to me. Way better than any of the pre-made garbage you can buy from the store and saved me time from having to pull out the bread maker.
It would be a good idea from now on to collect and store a large amount of acorns every fall (right now). It is a better carb than any grain, but you can run a fairly large rabbit farm on acorns and hay alone. Pigs will like acorns too but the feed conversion is much higher with rabbits, and they are very nutritious if you can secure a source of fat. Also easy to process.
two things: you need a metal container, the squirrels will just punch a hole in a plastic can, and red and white oaks need different processing.
Skillcult has a vid on YouTube on collecting acorns… the one I watched… he collected by hand… the vid above another guy shows a few devices that do a pretty good job of collecting them without having to bend over to collect by hand.
I have two huge white oaks in my back yard that bear large crops regularly… and thousands of others in my woods including red white black post and chestnut oaks (which have huge acorns). Deer turkeys favor white… but will eat them all.
I would not eat them myself… carb content too high… but I may try raising chickens and quail when I retire.
I can identify with that… when I cook fish… my wife opens several windows and sometimes even doors on our first floor.
We have a 10 ft deep back porch with a table and chairs out there… when I make bone broth… which simmers for near 48 hours… and smells so good to me…
But not to her… I am banished to the back porch for cooking that.
Excellent video. I am a low carber myself, more extreme than most, since I eat mostly (when social interactions do not intervene) meat, offal, eggs, bone broth, and fermented vegetables. None of those low carber shenanigans like avocado or nuts.
This said, acorns are a real treasure. You can raise chickens, pigs and rabbits on them, although chickens will need a better protein source too. For rabbits and pigs acorns will have sufficient proteins (rabbits will also get some from hay). And pigs will be your dominant source of fat… One could also think outside the box, get equipped to placate the wife (outdoors dehydrator), and consider fermenting the ground acorns with bacillus subtilis (which can be harvested from the wild) for extra nutrition and proteins.
Paleo is not a real diet and Paleo flour is an oxymoron. The American Diabetic association, whom i have dubious gowning respect for could not rate Paleo on there list of diets because It is a very ill defined concept with no standards for implementation.
The Paleo flours I looked at are no where near Ketogenic as they all contain starch. On the other hand wheat gluten is perfectly keto friendly. I have not tried this crust yet but I have tried some of there other products and the texture was great. Little bland but texture perfect.

i was something i found in a discount store so id thought we would try it.
yea, thats how most of the stuff in my pantry got there too.
@steveb4 and @lordkiwi — on the Paleo Diet and Keto…
You have to watch out for commercialism … many companies are making bogus paleo, keto products, and selling them at big box stores, Walmart, kroger… they know those diets are popular and they push the rules way out of bounds to make products that they can put the word on… but it is not true to the Diet standards.
I think the Paleo Diet if done to the standards… is very useful… for many people.
A good source on youtube… search on “Paleo Flourish”
If you are eating SAD (Standard American Diet)… Paleo is a HUGE leap in the right direction.
I knew my problems were inflammation related and I found my way to Paleo looking for a diet that would help with inflammation. Paleo diet if done correctly will get you off the very high carb foods, and processed foods… will get you off the super inflammatory grain oils, and onto better fats like coconut oil, avacado oil, butter, etc…
I went from 220 lbs to 165 in 4 months on the Paleo diet.
Got off all my Rx meds on Paleo diet…
But on Paleo you can still consume quite a bit of carbs, honey, maple syrup, coconut palm sugar are allowed in moderation… so you can still carb it up quite a bit and I did some of that.
Dr. Ken Berry (great source for keto, carnivore)… like me started with Paleo, then found his way to Keto… and finally to Carnivore (where complete healing happened).
He like me got much better on Paleo, but was not completely healed got even better on Keto, much better, but still had some lingering problems (extreme Gird being one of those) and the Gird did not go away until he did Carnivore.
For me… when I have pain and need to heal… that is when I carnivore. Gut issues completely heal for me at around day 20 on carnivore.
Most of the time I can live in the Clean Keto world…
And every once in a while (about every two weeks) or on Special occasions like Christmas or Thanksgiving… I can Paleo for a while… (go thru a Paleo allowed carb cycle).
I weigh 155 lbs now…
At day 31 on carnivore, I weighted 143…
I weighed 165 lbs when I was a senior in highschool (1979).
But for me it is not about weight… it is much more about pain and staying away from surgery again.
For any of you out there that might consider a diet change and you really need it for healing…
A good path is…
SAD - Paleo - Keto - Carnivore
Many people try to jump from SAD to Keto and fail miserably… Carbs are very addictive.

Yep. Better grow more of your own food and get ready for more shortages and higher prices for everything. I’m much less confident in my well being in coming years due to these shortages and higher prices. The hundreds of drive by shootings that occur each week all over the country concern me more then the shortages and high prices.
It’s comforting to be able grow a portion of your food needs. Also, just a few hens produce a lot of food for just a little money and time.
eggs, it does a body good!
