One of the best gifts the Native Americans showed the newcomer Europeans was the proper vegetables to grow for the little New England growing season and long, harsh New England weather.

Those included several types of beans, squash, pumpkins and other food.

In any survival situation, be it the first Europeans on what would become North America or today, in a SHTF moment, long-term survival situation or even if you just want to become more self-sufficient, planting a survival garden with food that yields weeks of harvest and that you can store well is critical.

The food mentioned in this video achieves that goal.
