I mean the scenario of a serious collapse of civilization with the use of nuclear weapons.
I wonder what is best grown from vegetables and what is not? For example, what about potatoes, beets, carrots, cabbage and cucumbers? I want to understand how to feed myself and other people, even if there are crop failures, droughts, bad soil, soil depletion, or something else. I doubt that forests will always be able to provide food, they will only be a good addition, but you should not expect stable food from them, as I managed to see, besides, I am planing to survive not alone, but with a group.
As for the location, since after the collapse, hungry crowds will rob villages and farms that they can reach or know about, I will have to build a house from scratch somewhere a hundred kilometers from cities and civilization, Although maybe I'll be lucky to find an abandoned house? and plow the land and so on, and unfortunately, I don't have the ability to prepare everything in advance, and I've never grown vegetables before and don't know how difficult it is in the long run, especially as it used to be, without tractors and other things, but only with the help of a hoe and hard work.
I'm also wondering what healing skills I should know? Will basic first aid skills be enough, or should I write down or memorize how to deal with severe food poisoning, serious illnesses caused by exhaustion or parasites, etc.?
In general, if it is not difficult for you, please tell me where I can get the necessary and verified information without wasting extra time on videos or articles on YouTube, especially if they are edited or completely made with the help of AI including also articles? I don't trust AI generated content, the authors of which I don't know if they check the reliability of the information or if they check for five minutes or a maximum of half an hour, believing that everything seems logical and can be posted on the network.
I'm sorry that the post sounds so strange or perhaps paranoid, it's just that there are so many things to talk about that I decided to cut it down somehow.
