If found in a situation where one was forced to take arms against tyranny, I hope one thinks in the long haul version. How would one grow food, aquire necessary equipment, tools ect. in order to carry on a fight and to ultimatly start over.
Now, if one percieved a storm coming would a wise person study survival gardening, then make sure they are able to actually do it.
OR, if a person already knows how to garden wouldn't it be easier to plant certain foods (onions, garlic, spearmint, peppermint ect) in their AO. Not only would that person have edible items, but also medicinal items as well.
Also by doing something of the like, it would attract animals to the area.
