I try to always collect seeds and plants or cuttings when hiking. Taking a few stinging nettle plants when there are hundreds is not going to hurt anything. I am trying to root 20ish sticks from an apple tree that the city does not take care of at the disc golf park. I also like to bring fruit and nut seeds to plant when hiking. Who wouldnt want an apple tree next to the trail? Seeds get saved from my garden for next year

Try to form relationships with other homesteaders and gardeners. Perhaps create a club, so many benefits can come from this.

I also try to bring I stock knowledge, I often have podcasts going.

I stock rice and beans and salt, all the normal prep stuff, but I focus more on building soil and food production systems that can scale pretty easily.
