Thursday, April 29th, 2010Ruth’s Garden
Monday, April 26th, 2010Ruth Stout has a wonderful garden.
It’s an example of some permaculture,
easy seeding and garden management method.

zombie like apocalypse
Monday, April 26th, 2010[quote][i]Originally posted by Loken68[/i]
Once again I’ll ask you a question but you will not answer even though it may be a turning point in world history.
1.When will the zombie or zombie like apocalypse occur?
2.Where will it start?
3.How fast will it spread?
4.What precautions are you taking? [/quote]
America has been breeding a generation of dimwits.
By mind controlling them into blocking off themselves from both spiritual and physical knowledge.
This can be seen with rising rates of illiteracy all across the country.
It is already starting with various protest riots and rise in crime.
Being incredibly limited in sources of input, on which to base actions,
people take to the streets doing what tv and video games teach them.
If it’s mainly a mental thing so should spread quite slowly.
There is a modified version of rabbies in development a “military virus”,
which is supposed to act to defend america from invasion,
by creating people into soldiers.
One modification is that people infected can live a long(er) time.
It’s possible to introduce the virus in several stages,
several flu vaccines may have,
if getting a complete set it activates,
the trigger virus would only be spread in case of
a “national emergency” of eminent invasion.
It’s actually a multi-tiered effort now,
biological (viruses), chemical (food and water additives),
as well as psychological (school, media, games).
Once a precedent of uncontrolled violence is set,
by having a homeland security event,
it will grow exponentially.
Video game teens will run around in groups with weapons,
just as they have been training to do for years.
Yes some of them may initially be overweight,
but a life of predation and potential cannibalism for food,
will certainly make the leaner ones more susceptible to thriving.
The cannibalism is a direct result of not having resources brought into a city,
which is a wasteland devoid of food except for humans and sparse lawns.
Those which can’t get out of the city due to traffic jams and lack of fuel at gas stations,
may succumb to cannibalism and be eaten alive by hungry hordes or turn to cannibalizing others.
This has happened before in times of great distress on this planet,
such as during the great “oprichna” artificial famines,
popular way of russia/soviet-union oppressing it’s populace.
While being “Breadbasket of the world” Ukraine was starving as all the food was exported,
and none was left for the people actually living in the place.
People were much more spiritual in Ukraine and had less access to firearms.
Though there are still anecodotes/jokes about cannibals,
like “why not make student in soup? because they’ll eat all the vegetables.” hahaha
My family survived since they grew their own vegetables and especially potatoes.
Though at times my grandma was so thin she was getting colon bloated like the starving Africans of nowadays.
Precautions include having a plan to leave the city during emergency on foot.
Having a destination to go towards, as well as survivalist skills.
Can also get a boat, or a place in a rural or wilderness area,
like can form a self-sustaining atom tribe.

had a bunch of dreams yesterday,
mainly about sailing around the world,
visiting different places.
Africa, Japan, Siberia, Brazil.
Today had a dream about some babysitter with her charge,
or sometimes it was me with my brother,
on an inflatable boat,
first we were going towards brazil,
then decided to cross atlantic to germany.
felt surprisingly safe in the dingy.
Off-grid potential solution: hydrogen power.
Friday, April 23rd, 2010[quote user="Susan Evenden"]
I live off-the-grid and have since 1998.

Congrats
*hugs*
We support you.

It is no picnic. I can tell you horror stories that would scare anyone away.
Things have improved over the years, but it is always a battle staying ahead of breakdowns and weak batteries. Green technology has a long way to go before it ever becomes viable.
[/quote]
Open Source technologies can make it easier to make and repair things yourself.
So the government can make incentive to open source companies,
that release the details of design and manufacturing of products or source-code to customers.
[quote]
At this point, there is no reason for me to increase my solar bank because I would never save enough money in the next 40 years of my life to pay for them. Prices have to come down.
[/quote]
how about making a wind turbine?
http://www.greenterrafirma.com/axial-flux-alternator.html
To lower costs of making a tower can mount it on a tall tree (hypothesis).
[quote]
Batteries never last as long as one would expect and are difficult to dispose of in a green manner.
[/quote]
How about producing hydrogen and storing it in tanks?
To produce only require electricity, alternator, and water with electrolyte (conductive).
Or get a package like http://www.amazon.com/Revolution-Smart-Cell-Hydrogen-Generator/dp/B001J9ZVM8
Hydrogen leaks, but slower than batteries.
Also can be transported, and also used directly (hydrogen gas stove).
depending on container can be lighter than batteries.
[quote]
Without a generator there is no hope of Canadians being able to be self-sufficient electrically.
[/quote]
can have a hydrogen generator.
or a turbine linked to electric generator to make electricity
A steam turbine be relatively simple to make.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_turbine
“– about 80% of all electricity generation in the world is by use of steam turbines”
Though Stirling engines are more efficient,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stirling_engine
they are somewhat harder to make.
A man in Bangladesh made a 5 hp one http://www.stirlingengine.com/product/84
Can use many kinds of fuel.
[quote user="Susan Evenden"]
I have already invested probably $50,000 or more since 1998 and without diesel generators (hampering my green footprint every day) I would not be able to survive
I have a composting toilet, a cistern for water, the TV is almost never on, we do not use the toaster, microwave unless the generator is running and I do not own a blowdryer.
When your hydro goes out someone else repairs it. When mine goes out, I do. Doesn’t matter whether it’s 6:00p.m. on Christmas Eve or two months of outage after a lightening strike. I arrange it and pay for all the repairs, which of course are never cheap.
Life is not easy off the grid and don’t ever let anyone sell you on the romantic notion that it is.
[/quote]
How about getting a community together,
so that some members of the community can do the repairs and maintenance work,
others can do agriculture, product manufacturing, trade, planing and have a wonderful atom-tribe.
just like nature

Forest Gardening: Planting Bulbs
Friday, April 23rd, 2010Got some onion sprouting onion bulbs and am planting them.

Reward self with fruit
Friday, April 23rd, 2010Elspru – Tastes So Much Better (vegan song)
After doing something beneficial,
give yourself a treat.
Like when going out to work in the field,
take a treat with you to celebrate completion of checkpoints.
Seedball Fruition: Wild Strawberries
Friday, April 23rd, 2010saw some strawberries,
must have come from seedballs thrown previous autumn.

our children will flourish
Thursday, April 22nd, 2010[quote user="Janet Wiebe"]
United Empire Loyalists were given Crown land if they proved they lost everything in fighting the revolutionists. A precident?
[/quote]
Perhaps. Thanks for your support
*hugs*
Heinlein had a similar idea that one could only become citizen through military services.
Though he himself was in the navy so thats a bit biased.
Which priesthood one enters is choosable by free beings.
When having a garden,
the more work done,
the more work required.
The fall or autumn can be seen for those who look,
the warmest season of earths fiat economy has passed,
it is time to make fruit with seed,
that come spring, our (grand)children will flourish.
It happens naturally,
though if consciously supported,
typically more successful.
Can also look at it as analogy with egg.

[quote user="Andrii Zvorygin"](governments) can give out land to each citizen for free[/quote]
In a utopian society, perhaps, but not in a free market society like Canada… where members of our society must earn what they acquire and own. You have much to learn.
[/quote]
We live in a socialist society with regulated market.
With mild hints of corporate fascism (lumber, mining, banks).
Animals and plants have access to land, water, and food as a life requirement.
If the government continues to reap the citizens year after year,
without planting seeds and fertilizing,
are gonna end up without a crop,
government’ll starve,
and we’ll continue.
I work on my field most workdays.
Planted potatoes today,
tomatoes and peppers on tuesday.
The “private-sphere” is up for grabs after basic essentials are met.
We can meet citizens basic essentials such as land to live freely on.
Though it’s okay if you’d like to implement some of the other policies first,
such giving each citizen money for education, health, food, protection directly.
this would cut out the middle-men in subsidies,
simplifying the process and making sure individual citizens get a bigger cut.
Giving more incentive to vote Yes.
[quote]
[quote user="Andrii Zvorygin"]Cheap is not free, and people on welfare aren’t allowed to own anything over $5,000.[/quote]
Those in our society whose existence is dependent on social assistance must accept the limitations that come with it. To achieve more, one must earn it through legal means.
[/quote]
Yeah, there are lots of legal loopholes I’m also aware of.
thanks I know already
Is it really difficult for you to comprehend giving to others?
Sharing and distributing wealth?
Abundance of Land is one of Canada’s greatest strengths,
our people, including you, should reflect this,
by all having land as a great strength,
having some in their name.
[quote user="Brian Graff"]
In effect, he is proposing that people on welfare do just that – much like homesteaders did in Ontario 150 years ago, and out west as late as 1911.
[/quote]
excellent.
It’s been done before.
Has precedent.
[quote]
But if people lack money to pay $10,000 for a piece of land and just wants to give land away, he is also underestimating the fact that not even the aboriginal people in northenr ontario are willing to live by traditional means.
[/quote]
All means evolve over time.
If by “traditional” you mean to lock someone in their ways, bad karma.
Electricity from renewable resources isn’t particularly “traditional”.
[quote]
If people lack money to buy land, well, then don’t they lack money to own a vehicle, buy building supplies, buy tools, build a house, drill a well, pay thousands of dollars for hydro to bring in electrcity, telephone, internet etc.,
[/quote]
You’ve gotta stop sucking on economies teat,
she’s getting sore and doesn’t like it anymore.
Learn that you really do have to work for yourself,
create physical things, if you’d like to use physical objects.
Pretty soon China’s gonna realize,
you’ve got nothing but words,
and no actions.
Bye, bye economy.
Hello local production.
Can’t produce, if you don’t have land to build a factory on!
I’d build a robot factory,
if I had the land and resources.
[quote]
all so that someone can lice in the middle of nowhere, without a JOB and likely without a greenhouse, cleared land etc. that would let them grow far more than they need to consume. 100 years ago, you at least needed a horse or something to plough and help clear the land.
[/quote]
Ya, well now we got chainsaws, open source tractors and seedballs.
[quote]
But on top of the obstacles people would face, you are dealing with people on welfare who obviously have enough difficulty surviving in a “normal” urban environment -
[/quote]
There is very little “normal” about urban environments.
Normal social organizations do not exceed Dunbar’s number.
Living in tribal communities is what comes most naturally to homo-sapiens,
allowing for the best and most efficient structure (holographic analogy of atom).
So how about giving the option to get out of the fire-ball you call urban.
And moving elsewhere, where a more natural lifestyle can occur.
[quote]
yet alone a frozen, isolated wilderness filled with Blackflies!
[/quote]
Did you know you can actually make those into burger patties and soup?
mmm, authentically Canadian.
How they do it in Thailand hill tribes is to have a U.V. light high up, and a normal light near the ground with a tub of water under which the flying insects plop into.

Seeds are people, money is fertilizer.
Seeds also need land to grow.
Forest gardens are easier to maintain over a long period of time.
Seedballs, take a community of seeds, pack them with fertilizer, and surround them by clay.
Clay acting as shell. Can also look at it as analogy with egg. Optimally one seed per egg.
Planting many such communities can get things growing,
so there is more abundant harvest.
