lol people are crazy, why didnt u just eat the apples and pears. you will at least get full from it. I eat 3 apples for lunch every day, smoothies with spinach and bananas and other fruits for breakfast and one with carrots and squash and fruit for dinner. mmmm
not necessarily an "essential" the cave men didn't have bread and they did alright. That being said I would love to have wheat too just don't feel it's essential as you can get every nutrient from wheat through other means.
Great idea and good luck. My family and I have a weekly or sometimes bi-weekly no power day in which we flip all the circuit breakers off except the fridge for at least 24 hrs. This is especially hard with 2 kids 2 & 6 lol. We just moved to a house with just over an acre of land, bought chicks, apple trees, and started a half acre veg garden.

Could you grow an olive tree where you live? For olive oil?
I have seen the big wooden, hand made oil presses and its very impressive but within the scope of most people with a big enough land area, a hot, dryish?? climate and enough time for the trees to get to that stage.
Love this idea! "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" by Barbara Kingsolver has the same premise as "The Good Life" mentioned by Kittenkatten below. I LOVED this book and the idea of living of what you grow/raise. Looking forward to your next videos.
Great experiment! I don't know if you ever read the Book "The Good Life" by Helen and Scott Nearing. They only eat and drank what they grew. Good luck.

@JohnRLewis84 you're exactly right -
but you definitely need some grain or
staple food like lentils or rice or oats...
i'm not sure how hard it is to grow your own
staple grains but i guess it's worth trying.
there's not much point trying to be self-sufficient
if you can't rationally afford it

Have you tried roasting dandelion root for a coffee substitute. Not as good, but not too bad either.

Great experiment, brother. Growing one's own food is empowering. Best of luck realizing a new level as you unplug for a day!
