Yeah, it's a great idea as long as you're not on it when the lunatics arrive.

I've got a lot of seeds that can be used for what some call guerrilla gardening but I would never get into permaculture the way this guy does. I just don't have the green thumb. Sure, it's meant to be a science but I'm just not good with plants.

Particularly as someone on a relatively limited budget I buy stuff that I can put in a jar or a bucket or a tin and say "I have this now". My rice and my rainwater and my firewood = me and my family fed for quite some time, even if Yellowstone gives me and Mr Lawton a few very bad growing years. I admire his determination and think it's a brilliant way forward for hobby farmers as well as being extremely valuable knowledge for career farmers if something happens that means no more diesel, fertilizer and easy electricity. But for the average schmuck like me who has trouble keeping his dwarf mandarin trees alive in his back yard it's a bit of a non-starter.
