Today on Off the Grid Radio, we have an eclectic mix of guests and topics in two different sessions. The first quarter of today’s show features Gerald Celente, called the “Martial Artist of Trend Forecasting.” Founder of the Trends Research Institute in 1980, Celente provides insight and direction in anticipation of what the future might bring, and encourages his readers and listeners to prepare for the unexpected.
We end today’s show with our guest Nick Huizenga, Heirloom Solutions’ resident senior botanist, and the variety of tips he supplies for growing crops and saving seeds. If civilization as we know it is crumbling before our eyes, then becoming self-sufficient is even more imperative as we adjust our lives to the social and economic upheavals we face in the world today.

Is Off the Grid Radio really a radio station or do you just record programs on your website that can be heard. Love you website and get lots of great info from it. Keep up the GREAT work!
Thanks. This was another excellent radio interview. Nice. By the way, this is an excellent book, and I highly recommend it, the author writes:
Chapter 1 – “Earliest Memories of the Great Depression” – Bessie Blackmall: “We started out with one room. Then, a kitchen and a bedroom with a fireplace. Mother cooked on a woodstove. There were six persons living in the house—my parents, two sisters, and two brothers, …..” (Page 49)
Beulah Lee Mcleod Evans – Memories of her mother. Viola McLeod was a small person, but she had more guts than anybody nearly. She was a very religious person, I remember her a lot of times in the back yard walking around under those big oak trees, and her mouth moving. She was praying. She prayed us all through.” (Page 51)
Mary Frances Lovell Izard – “Description of our one-room house. The ‘little house’ as it was referred to had one square room which contained two beds and a couple of straight chairs (as opposed to rocking chairs). There was room for little else. There were no closets, maybe a small ‘chest of drawers’, to hold folded clothes. Other clothes were hung on nails that were driven into the walls. The house was built with uncured rough boards bought from the sawmill or our own logs cut from our land, which the sawmill cut into planks. The house was not underpinned but was built on pillars of large local rocks. There was another small room attached to the back of the square room. It had a sloping roof and was referred to us as a lean-to’ room used for the kitchen and eating area. It contained a wood-burning stove, a cupboard, and a table with chairs for the adults and a bench behind the table for children.”
Stories of Survival: Arkansas Farmers During the Great Depression William Downs Jr. (Author)January 2, 2011
Through dozens of in-depth interviews representing all sections of the state, farm families recall their best times, their worst times and day-to-day experiences such as chores, washing, bathing, clothes making, medical care, home remedies, spiritual life, courtship and marriage, school experiences, etc. Their stories reveal how ordinary men and women, frequently living in abject poverty, endured cataclysmic natural disasters and economic collapse with extraordinary courage, faith, resourcefulness, and a good sense of humor.
Albert M. Williams – “Did you ever go barefooted? Yes, and I got a lot of scars on my feet to prove it. When I started to go to school at Monticello, about four miles or better. I walked barefooted in the snow many times……..”(Page 146)
This is another great read:
The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing Bronnie Ware (Author), this author writes: Regret Two– “Out of the afternoon peace John stated, ‘I wish I hadn’t worked so hard, Bronnie. I looked across at him. He needed no encouragement to continue. ‘I worked too damn hard and now I am a lonely dying man. The worst part is that I have been lonely for the whole of my retirement and I need not have been.’ I listened as he told me the whole story. John and Margaret had raised five children, four of whom now had children of their own. When all the children were adults and gone from home. Margaret asked John to retire. But he always said they might need more. Margaret replied each time that they could sell their huge, now mostly empty house and buy something more suitable if required, freeing up more money. For fifteen years this battle went on between them, while he kept working. Margaret was lonely and longed to discover their partnership again without children or work…. One evening with Margaret in tears, begging him to finally retire, he looked at this beautiful woman and realized that not only was she desperately lonely for his company, but they were both old people now. This wonderful woman had waited so patiently for home to retire. But it was the first time in his life John considered they were not going to live forever. (Page 72)
