Let's have a thread about survivalism in accordance with our beliefs. If you give some thought to it, the germanic farmers from days of yore were pretty much preppers too. Their villages were more or less completely self-sufficient. Everything they needed to live and sustain themselves and their offspring they grew within the viccinity of their settlements. They were very much like northern american natives when it came to using natural resources and leaving next to no residue/pollution behind, in sharp contrast to the romans whose civilization already arrived at spenglerian industrialist proportions by the time they had expanded to the Rine.

I am firmly convinced that if our folk is to survive in the 21st century and beyond, we must embrace the ways of living of our ancestors once more and supplement/fuse it with 21st century technology, like for example 3D printing and electronic information sharing technology, and of course also prepping itself.

Ancient germanic planting technique: Hügelkultur and Hügelbeds

http://www.urbaniahoeve.nl/2012/06/hugelbedden-hugelkultur/?lang=en

Hügelkultur is a composting process employing raised planting beds constructed on top of decaying wood debris and other compostable biomass plant materials. The process helps to improve soil fertility, water retention, and soil warming, thus benefiting plants grown on or near such mounds.[1][2]

Hügelkultur replicates the natural process of decomposition that occurs on forest floors. Trees that fall in a forest often become nurse logs[3] decaying and providing ecological facilitation to seedlings. As the wood decays, its porosity increases allowing it to store water "like a sponge". The water is slowly released back into the environment, benefiting nearby plants.[1]

Mounded hügelkultur beds are ideal for areas where the underlying soil is of poor quality or compacted. They tend to be easier to maintain due to their relative height above the ground.[3] The beds are usually about 3 feet (0.91 m) by 6 feet (1.8 m) in area and about 3 feet (0.91 m) high.[1]

Found this yahoo entry here which nicely sums up what pagan prepping is all about;

"Many Heathens believe in being prepared for any task or situation which may come. Heathen Preparedness is about skills where people can learn from each other how to do just about anything from cooking to rocket science. It is about people preparing for future disasters and social breakdown. It is about developing people's skills and building tribe. Whether building, plumbing, hunting, preparing and preserving food, farming and growing things, or any other level of preparedness that most can imagine. It is about altyernative living in harmony with nature, and our Gods and Goddesses, and fellow true folk."

Then there's also a facebook group on heathen survivalism with almost 2k likes;

Most Vikings were farmers. Even those who were involved in the raids all over Western Europe, or those who sailed East or West to trade were at heart farmers. These Viking raiders and traders would generally still come home with their profits or with their stolen goods to operate their farms. Considering that most Vikings were farmers it is quite odd that we know so little about their farming practices.

We do know that the main cereal crops in Viking Age Scandinavia were barley, rye and oats. There was also a little bit of wheat farming in Denmark. Wheat was not common throughout the Viking World. That being said there have been a handful wheaten bread discoveries in some of the burial mounds in Birka, Sweden, but there has been no evidence to show that this wheat was grown locally. It could be that wheat was considered a luxury good to these Vikings.

Other important crops were peas, beans, root vegetables and cabbages.

Archaeological studies in Denmark have not only uncovered some of the fields where crops were grown, but also traces of some of the agricultural practices that were used.

Viking-age smiths used the process known as riving to reduce a tree trunk to planks or to other useful articles. Rather than sawing the wood, they split it. As a result, the grain of the wood follows the piece being fabricated, creating a much stronger item than if it had been sawn. It's one of several reasons why thin-hulled Viking ships could withstand the rough seas of the North Atlantic.

>An example of battlefield medicine is described in chapter 234 of Óláfs saga helga. Þormóðr was wounded by an arrow in his side. He broke off the shaft and supported his companions in the fight as best he could. After the battle had been lost, he left the field and entered the hut where the healer women were tending the wounded.
>Þormóðr refused the broth. Instead, he directed the woman to cut into the wound to expose the iron arrow head. He grabbed hold of the arrow head with pincers and pulled it out.
>Seeing fatty fibers on the arrow head, Þormóðr said, "See how well the king keeps his men. There is fat by my heart," and he died.

Well, no shit. Asatru as a whole is a prepper religion–in the sagas because we are all preparing for Ragnarok, and in our culture because we know how important it is not to rely on other people and systems we do not control.

My contribution is emergency snow shelters. Who knows, when shit hits the fan it might get cold.

I've only ever used a basic design before, never tried the fancy ones made of blocks. For a simple one, it's easy, just keep in mind:

>Start by building a huge snowdrift, the bigger the better. Don't start digging immediately, give at LEAST 2 hours for it to settle and pack.

>Only dig as much space as you absolutely need, or less. Smaller space is easier to heat with body heat.
>Don't be afraid to cut vent holes. A melting snow shelter will get you wet, and in the true cold wet = dead. You want it to stay just below freezing. If things start to melt cut vents immediately.
>Before you start digging push sticks of a regular length, about as long as your forearm, at intervals directly into the snowdrift. When you're digging it out, stop when you hit them. That keeps it all of uniform thickness.
>Keep your sleeping area raised up. It should never be the lowest surface in the shelter. That's where cold air collects, and water pools.
>Share the warmth. If you're not alone you better fucking not make separate shelters, no matter how awkward it is. Body heat is precious. A small candle or heat source can be used if you are alone.

pic related.

learn writing that works with easily made pens, such as quills and Reed pens.

modern scripts don't work with old square nibbed pen styles, as they were developed for ball-nibbed pens.

learn to make ink and paper, and learn to bind books.

last time we forgot to learn all this, we lost everything but what snorri could scratch out of his ass. learning to write and preserve knowledge is essential to prepping.
