An amazing mix of truth, half-truth, lies, propaganda, religion, politics,
wisdom, contradiction and nonsense. You could call it sales-speak.

For a "survivalist" the selection is odd. Too many are summer annuals,
you are going to get very hungry in the cooler months and there ought to
be more staples and things that will keep. Why on earth do you want
cucumber and two kinds of lettuce (low food value) but there is no pumpkin
or potato (high food value and keep outside the fridge)?

It is a lot of money to spend on seeds unless you know and trust the
source. The average gardener would take years to use all these. I thought
they were pushing these seeds being heirloom which implies true breeding,
seed saving etc, why then do you need a supply for five years, assuming
they will last that long?

If it were me I would save my $164, spend much less on a sensible
quantities of seeds that are more suitable and rely on Worldnet Daily for
entertainment while waiting for the rapture.


Indeed. And who needs 5 years worth of seeds when the world ends in 2012?
