Monday 6th of December 2010.....

morning...
A sunny dry season day.. Yesterday was the first obvious day of dry
season, and today a repeat...

have been busy this morning, guitar stint before daybreak, then
sending emails, then doing dishes & bath at the spring.... Also picked
and shucked corn for seed, now drying in the yard...

and just washed some glass bottles at the spring, to use for organizers etc..

I've always saved bottles.. always wanted to do a spice rack, and
use the saved bottles and jars to fill up with herbs from the garden,
and boughten spices etc.

my vision was that hut in the mountains, or the Hogan, or the yurt...

little did I know it would be a wall tent with no walls in Central
America.... And at the moment I have seven wild monkeys about ten feet
from my shelter, eating bananas I've set out for them... when the
new banana area comes on, no doubt I'll have wild monkeys climbing all
over me, once they get used to me having them all the time... so...
A tich more Tarzanish these days.....

one thing follows another, and spice racks are going to follow new
shelter project...

that & alot of other projects...

One thing I wanted to mention to you, is that I've quit buying matches
& lighters... nowdays I'm using a welder's striker, and a small
bottle of gas with a Bic pen refill tube inserted in an undersized
hole in the cap.. a few drops of gas where you want fire, remove gas
bottle from immediate vicinity, use striker to ignite the volitile
vapor....

just one step closer to being self sufficient... and wondering if I
could use the volitiles from cirtus peels to do the same trick...

its all about finding the balance point... And considering where the
system is going, I think getting away from it is critical..

I had hoped to do the spice rack for a good woman, but so far, none
of the above has appeared in my life... have had a fair chain of not
so good women... but luckily never did the spice rack, or it would
have dissappeared with one of them, on their way, in the quest for
infinite vanity...

these days, theyre more interested in money, and getting their hands
and mouths on each other, than being decent partners for a man...
the missing rib seems a total loss at this point....

but I suspect the progenitors will fix all that... cut a few million
necks, and leave the decent ones who arent too silly....

sad.... I suppose there will be a very loud women's wailing when they
learn they get to be executed for being genetic culls..

the planet is a farm folks, we're part of the decorations, and instead
of being happy camper primitives, we've trashed the other planted
life forms, and built Cities as monuments to our Hubris & Vanity.....

and the progenitors might notice all the Missing Buffalo.... and the
Elephants, Whales, Dolphins, Gorillas, etc. and decide its time to
thin out the neurotic/narcistic proto humans a bit...

One thing I've noticed doing my homework, is in the bible, all the
examples of culling give half...

two men in a bed, one gets jerked, two women grinding, one suddenly
isnt around to gossip with... Ten virgins with lamps, 5 are wise, and
5 get left out in the dark...

so, I wonder if they plan on editing half the survivors? could be
rather rude... if one adds up the numbers for death from wars, famine
& plagues, it leaves less than a quarter of humanity..

so if you cut that number in half at the neck line, may be 500
million or so executed at the same time... would explain the rivers
of blood up to a horse's bridle...

Gee? I sure hope I can get my act cleaned up enough while I'm busy
surviving, to make it into the better than 50% types... that
"Getting a D or an F" could be pretty bad... if I cant make it as an
A student, I think I'll try for an A anyway, that way if I bomb out,
maybe get a B, or at least a high C.....

and as JC pointed out, there is one who will judge... I.e. It aint
him... my question, is "what" will it be? might not even be remotely
human... Or maybe just barely remotely human? I'm not sure which
would be less pleasant... Human judges are bad enough..

so only remotely human could be alot less understanding, and a not
even human type could have some bazaar criteria for what it takes to
be a decent proto-human lab rat type....

Another thought that comes to mind, is after the neck cutting garden
party, theres going to be plenty of survivors who're missing
partners, who didnt make the grade... should be quite the singles
club... especially with the survivors knowing theyre going to live as
ordered or else..... one reads the mandates, and theyre strict... no
way I'd pass without serious amounts of grace... and if I found
myself with neck intact, and expected to live up to the ten
commandments etc. it would be good if I'd at least thought about
them, and attempted compliance before hand...

another thought, is the importance placed on Preparedness... Passover
was the first observance, and ordered to be celibrated; "Forever"....
so I suspect it was considered critical to the human mindset that we
be good boyscouts, and keep out scoutknife sharp, and our pack
ready...

one of my up coming handle making projects, is a walking staff like
for passover/exodus, out of Cortesa.. mostly just to have, if I was
going walkabout, I'd want to grab my 7 ft cortesa spear, with it's
440C type stainless bitt.... A far better walking stick in a post
Holocaust world.....

but I think I'll do the staff, just in case I need it, plus its a
good device for shelling beans & chick peas.... in fact I'll
hopefully be making a set of threshing tools, from 5 ft staff, to say
4 ft bar, and maybe a couple of 36 inch or less sticks, all for
threshing various subsistence crops....

I have a Cortesa flail that I made, but stuff in the legumes families
wants less whack & more whomp
to thresh...

no, I dont think I'd want to be living too vain a life leading up to
judgement day... might be a good idea to err on the humble side a
bit....

I see plenty of Christians living like spoiled princes, hogging up
resources & reality, just sure this or that contrived dogma, like the
Rapture, or
Auto-Salvation just for believing etc. Is a sure butt saver for
them... but that isnt what the manual says scouts... thats what
people making a profit off of bliss ninnies say it says..... And both
they &
victim/ninnies could end up taking turns on the same chicken's
dreaded stump....

from what I read, compliance is the real issue... Talk is cheap, and
people will believe anything, so it all boils down to following
orders... you dont suppose "Jehova of armies" knows anything about
having orders followed do you?

that the supreme general of this end of the galaxy posted his
doctrine, and you, not even a raw recruit yet, start thinking its
discretionary... And think you'll get away with some he-said-she-said
shit....

its your courts martial, and your neck, literally.....

and if I was a woman with an obvious cull, I think I'd go solo, and
same for men with vanity headed slitches... its like having a best
friend thats a bank robber.. not likely a good influence... Nor much
of a defense...

I see endless numbers of men making survival decisions based on fear of what
their "Sex-mommy's" approval rating will be...

and no doubt plenty of women swayed by their economic security and
vanity enhancement benefactor also.....

the way to destruction is broad & easy...
And the path to survival narrow and difficult....

to me survival is a higher priority than either sex or vanity...
survival is real security, money is false security...

and vanity is filthy....

anyway, running out of space, and I have a song stuck in my head;
"That old wheel" by Johnny Cash, so I think I'll heat up the six
string and work on my version....

Continued.......

I think the monkeys have eaten the most..
Well, theyre likely hungry, not alot of food due to the excessive rain...

just checked the bread, looking good, will turn it in a few minutes..
I ground the corn more fine, experimenting towards a better corn
flatbread... I like to play with the little things, and get a recipe
as good as it gets...

I've done this for years, trying different things with the
ingredients available here, nothing too fancy, but I have come up with
some good basic food recipes....

its a cheap hobby... and I've produced the ability to eat well, on
easy to grow "weed foods"... things you plant that require almost
no care..

thinking about the women i've communicated with, on line, and here
in person...

I notice a couple patterns, they always think they know more than I
do, and their own vanity has them enamored with the big lie...

it will be interesting to see who remembers me as things worsen....

I always look at it as I'm trying to save this or that woman from
whats starting to happen now....
They seem to see it as an opportunity to do the "Romantic Twiddle
Dance" with another male..

So sure of their own power of attraction, and their own instinctual
ability to manipulate....

but as a male, once youre on to the game, its never the same again..
enticing, yes, manipulate, no...
Seems to upset them.... but I'm not worried... As things worsen,
more people will wake up, including females... I see it as just a
matter of time until one I like sees me as a good idea... All those
games & vanities are likely to go by the wayside as the shit hits...

is surviving a form of love? ah? I think so... Whether it be love
to keep living, or love to keep you alive, its a fundamental..

so the warrior in the beat up armor might get to be a good choice
after all... He's no young prince, but he's fought a lot of battles,
and is still here....

doesnt matter really... I know how to travel alone...
no few miles behind me... Some still yet ahead....

later, listening to short wave... plenty of discussion on VOA about
wikileaks documents...
Mostly petty shit.. less than flattering descriptions of various
national leaders..

mention/discussion of North Korea... evidently a currency devaluation
in north korea, following the american/globalist model into collapse
mode..

so I guess the US has more in common with North Korea than an
entrenched misrepresentitve form of government? or a military
industrial complex that sucks up everything? Well theres the cold
climate, and that they eat alot of potatos... people in US soon to be
eating more potatos too... Because they wont have bread...

and North Korea is a spoiled beligerent nuclear power... Theres
another match up.. Eh?

soon to trade one petty tyrant for his son... Yup.. We had that too!
bush-bush era...

maybe we could solve the diplomatic row, by offering them sister city
status for their capitol with washington? we seem to have so much in
common...

I've actually heard North Korea broadcast on short wave before, a rare
DX... they were as glowing about their leadership, as VOA is about
the Hillary & Barrak show...

personally I'm beginning to suspect that politics is like past pull
date items from the butcher shop...

doesnt matter which butcher shop.. it all stinks...

politics by unenlightened humans is failure prone.. all I hear is
bickering..

I think I'll mind my own business.. get my own trip in order.. And
not believe in political fairy tales... If politics was capable of
solving problems, we would have run out of problems long ago.. looks
to me like politics is most capable of creating problems... results
so suggest..

sad, but true.. hoeing in my spud patch is a more effective way
of solving problems than believing in a system no better than the
people who make it up... I notice theres one thing thats never on any
political agenda; & thats letting me run my own life as I see fit, and
leaving me alone to be able to do it... its why I live here on a
mountain in central america... thanks to the mud, rain, snakes,
rodents, etc. Nobody wants it, no oil here, poor soil, rude
neighbors, etc.... so I get left alone.....

living on Humble mountain has it's benefits.. No women for hillary to
help, no minoritys other than one white guy.. theres just me & my
own problems... solving them one at a time, thru realizing my own
imperfections, and trying to improve my habits.. solitude is
peaceful..

my goals are simple...

wanting too much is the most common of problems for humans... the
fights in marriages, the lifetimes of payments, the obiesity, the
greed, like Rats wanting to eat, gnaw on things, and breed more
Rats.. we gnaw on want...

And have been manipulated into unsustainable expectations.. its like
the women I deal with... they want too much... So I'm not good enough
for them... its not the person that counts, to them its what I can
get for them...

and they want their cake & eat it too...

The Ticas want a lard laced diet, a nice house with a TV, a car, and a
plastic card.... Where did they learn all that? the TV of course..
they watch soap operas all day, which here is mostly yelling and
screaming and people plotting.... Personally I wouldnt own one of the
pieces of shit... its like the internet, 99% garbage... I go online
maybe look at some images, download a few, of things I'm interested
in.. maybe used wikipedia a dozen times in a couple years.. if I
visit sales websites, its not to shop, its to see whats there..

dont have much of an online neurosis..
Its like visiting the junk shops on the Panama border... Filled to the
brim with shit, I go, and usually not one percent interests me..
not interested in fancy clothing, cosmetics, or imported foods.. I am
free from want of such... mostly I'm after ingredients for my various
projects, and things to enhance my preparedness.. why am I free of
limitless wants? because my dream doesnt need all their shit...
I buy things that suit my lifestyle, practical items... I buy
more items of stainless steel than any other material.. why? Because
stainless is long lasting, and practical things are made from it, and
can be made from it..

I also buy tools, but very few now... I have most everything I really
need... and all I'm doing, is filling in on what few agricultural
hand tools I'm missing...

a lifestyle of freedom frees me from the wants associated with
normalcy... my shopping list looks like something from a hundred
years ago, of some guy living up in the brush... the necessities of
life dont change.. every day I use from a list of less than 50
items... And I have all 50.....

So I find it a bit bazaar that women expect me to be able to support
their endless vanities... got the 50 items Babe... what more do we
need? got extra too... I think I have four teapots... I use two...
One to carry cooking water in, and a little one to make tea or
coffee.... my current want in kitcheny items, is to collect up a
stack of 12 inch stainless pie pans.. Why? To use to dry grain and
chick peas in... I have a stack of pizza pans that are nice for
drying stuff, but want something with sides for the easy to spill
grains... not a complicated desire... my guess is I'll buy them
one at a time, maybe two, until I get a half dozen or so.. strange
man? Eh? buying big pie tins.. they dont take up much space
stacked.. They dont cost much, and theyre useful for all kinds of
things.. they add to my ability to be self sufficient
permanently..

would it impress a woman? prob'ly not, not until the collapse comes,
then she'd notice how well they worked drying harvests...

until then she thinks she needs limitless plastic shit... filling
shopping carts with vanity... its about spuds babe... and corn &
peas & peppers.... Its not about being a neurotic poodle headed vanity
freak...

pushing a shopping cart all the way from heaven to hell....
Thirty seconds of pleasure is not worth paying thirty years of being
harranged constantly for more, more, more...

Wednesday 1st December, 2010.........

Morning,
and a drippy one in the rain forest...
I'm feeling pretty good, just got the fire going, and put some left
overs on to warm for breakfast...

made a realisation a few minutes ago, that alot of problems could be
cured, if I could continue working towards personal independence...

what I'm talking about, is the problems with personal relationships...
notice that in the technocult people use money to not need each
other on a personal basis... i'm wondering if it isnt in part a
reaction to constant interpersonal problems created by our intrinsic
self centered points of view... And that we use jobs etc. To seperate
ourselves from each other, because we cant fix the problems in
ourselves and have that be enough due to relationships being outside
the self, at least one other person, and often multiple players....

I find it sad... that we're so egotistic that we cant get along in
harmony with the people we mix with.. And that we have to distance
ourselves from each other, and use jobs & money to avoid the
interpersonal differences....

I dont see using money for this as being a good idea... money is
constantly terminal... Always debauched in some manner by your local
national status quo, and soon to be robbed by the world government
types mega-status quo.....

and here in Costa Rica, I have some limits imposed by the legalists &
the cultural mindset...

the legalists have it rigged where foriegn nationals cant work jobs,
and can only work in their own businesses, sounds good on paper,
jobs for local people & all that, but still water runs deep, and in
this case there's another side to the story.....

there is a deep set anti-american/anti foriegner game being played..
Where the game is; they all act in unison to trash any & all
foriegners... its systemic, endemic, & insidious... what this means,
is any and all attempts to create and run businesses by non nationals,
has about the same chance as a snowball in hell... what this means
is you cant work a job, and you cant successfully run a business...
you'll get trashed by everyone, from people you employ, to suppliers
if theyre local, to clients if theyre locals, to the legal system...

ask me how I know...

anyway, my point is, that its not independence thru money thats
wise... but there are other types...

and I think its wise to become independent of both money & other
people as much as possible... And I'm working towards those goals...

first by working on my self sufficiency.. food, clothing, shelter,
tools, and weapons.... no man is an island, but the more self
sufficient we are, the less problems we have with each other...

the more self sufficient we are, the less we need the economic system,
and the less we get ripped off by the crooked games of the Elite.....

so I'm applying the neoindigenous mindset to both problems... and
slowly as able working towards complete self suffiency, and a working
isolation on all levels except social, and I find knowing the truth
even frees me from much of that...

I find social connections invite business connections, which invites
problems...
just like family connections...
its all a balance thing...

no such thing as total independence these days...

anyway, its why I work on these fronts, other than being hobbies, and
wise for whats coming... Alot of what I've done in life has been
reactions to problems with people... by minimizing the effects of
money & people on my life, I find tranquility...

"Use money, to eliminate your need for money."
"Use people (labor etc.) to eliminate your need for people."

Use what you gain, to help & enlighten others...

that way independence comes full circle... its not then just another
self centered thing....

this morning I've been working on my shopping list.. soon to do a
run to town, get everybody their money, and buy some foodstuffs for
myself..

if theres anything left over, I try to push my projects a tich.. This
time hoping to get a couple small items to finish the crossbow cable
with...

and maybe some rubber boots...

one is never free from want at the bottom end of reality... I just
try to make progress a constant, however slight, however possible...
Usually able to get one item a month now.. and we're talking small
items... I find that I have more projects than economics...
everything on my list, are items to finish projects, or to better my
situation for whats coming, or both.. sometimes items stay on my
lists for literally years.. but doesnt it feel good when I can
complete a long term project, or get a long term item..... the good
news, is the enforced minimalism combined with what I've realized, has
created a pretty good focus...

I know if I were still living in the states, I'd still be trying to
do too much, and at least this way, my trying to do too much is very
minimalized...

I think my biggest mistake in life, has been doing too much for
others & too little for myself... Sad, but not a bad comentary
either.. now I quest for better balance... While I see others coming
at it from the other end....

Lately I've been thinking about arrow making again... looks to be
coming up in the next Calandar year... and I've been thinking of ways
to do it all myself ingredients wise... yesterday I was thinking of
ways to build plastic nocks.. and started mentally processing ways to
do it... my personal goal is going to be a gross of finished
arrows... to achieve that will take some doing.. why a gross?

because its more arrows than I've used in my entire life, and because
when the collapse happens, its likely I'll need more arrows than
ever...

if I cant figure out a way to make plastic nocks, I'll go retro,
and devise up a decent working self nock system...

I plan to do something similar on the points, worst case scenario
will be 3/4 inch steel broadheads siezed into a kerf in the shaft with
nylon thread, then varnished or epoxied over...

I've made arrowheads since I was a kid.. Started with metal, also
later learned knapping stone & glass..

one day, when I was working a job, I found a lost arrow in the ditch
beside a road...

the arrow was wood, feather fletch, plastic nock etc. but it had a
home made steel broad head that was siezed and then epoxied over... I
kept the arrow for years, and admired how nice a broadhead its lost
owner had made... it was a good system...

here, I'd use machete steel, which is cheap and available.. And as
there isnt any big game to speak of, I'd go 3/4 inch wide on the
broadheads.. better to keep them smaller to keep them from planing
off, or being too heavy, or using excessive amounts of materials...

I'd cut the steel with abrasive wheels, perhaps rough them out
seperately, then clamp into a stack to regrind to get uniformity...
likely in stacks of six...

it would take awhile to make 144, but worth the doing...

factory made broadheads are expensive now... as is feather fletch..
its time to go around the problem by figuring out ways to make our
own...

invariably the way around modern & convienant, is retro, and doing
the job as a hobby & challenge... the more you make, and the less
you buy, the less you need your day job... thing to remember, is full
retro equals no job.... before jobs were invented, people made what
they needed for themselves... and any free time, benefits from
planning & thinking, or working hard, etc. Were their's....
folks, you've been sold down the river long ago...
a fat slave, is just as much a slave, as a skinny one....

later... Raining, I've got bread baking in the fire pit, trying a
finer grind of corn meal, and some diced up ripe bananas in the mix...
Use flour, salt etc., this batch filled up the skillet pretty good, as
thick wet, as cornbread with leavening when finished... Did a bunch of
dishes at the spring, ground the corn, washed/rinsed some clothes,
and packed in & chopped firewood, all while it wasnt raining...
now awaiting my food for the day... have eaten a few ripe bananas
today, fed a couple to the dog, and the monkeys have run off with
several...

Tuesday 30th November 2010.......

Early evening,
listened to short wave awhile, but nothing interesting, so I shut it
off... And slept for a couple hours... Then woke, restarted a fire,
for mosquitos, and now relaxing...

still thinking about normalcy, and primitive weapons... to me
weapons are a hobby... I've always been interested in indigenous and
ancient cultures... so even as a kid began using and making organic
arms... I was raised in a redneck family culture, so got the usual
culture of firearms etc. And taught that milk comes from a cow by the
direct method, and meat isnt made by a machine....

but I really dont like killing anything, except parasites, so to me
weapons became a hobby & a survival skill...

I know how to kill... how to cut a throat, skin, gut, butcher, cut
and wrap, freeze, can, or dry...

but I prefer to get my protiens from nuts & fish...
I'm not an instinctual killer..
and I've long suspected for years that the human genome was moving
away from killing... And I've read things in Enoch which support
that... at least that some of us are becomming non-killers in growing
numbers, while there are those becoming worse killers in fewer
numbers... I suspect natural forces are at work... And that if it
wasnt for nukes & climate change the game could play out long term,
and result in the end, to being a few vampires in the spotlights who
came to a much deserved end, at the hands of a generally peaceful
village...

unfortunately we're running against the war and natural catastrophy
clock... and time seems to be short... And the vampires have nukes,
and are legislating away pitchforks & torches...

the peasants seem to be reacting correctly though... buying more
forks than ever before, and getting higher tech torches...

good job, fellow peasants....

how do you recognize a vampire? thats easy... Theyre those guys on
TV with the suits & ties....

instinctual liars, killers & thieves....
Who come to kill, steal, and destroy....

and promote it as normalcy...

If you havent read the book of Enoch, connected it to Genesis 6, and
Judges 5:20, and realized that the game is alien arrival, well then,
you really dont know anything...

the book of Enoch can be read online for free..
The two best translations are at steve quayle's website.. I've read a
third, couched in king James style biblical english, but it has the
same problems as the king james bible; quaint, out of date, and
difficult to understand unless you were born 400 years ago... the
book of Enoch is mentioned in the bible, and when Christ said "read
the scriptures" during his time they included the book of enoch, and
later editing by the church convienantly removed the parts that were
most likely to enlighten the peasants... the results of that editing
are called the bible...

I hear people talking about being "saved"...
Saved is a verb in past tense... so being saved ahead of the fact, is
like boarding the Titanic
and thinking youre safe because there are some lifeboats, without
bothering to count noses, and compare to number of boats or their
capacity...

being "saved" ahead of the crisis, is like the rapture cult; sounds
good, but its not what is written...

so I think a bunch of backslapping, hippocrit, jargon heads, are in
for a rude awakening...

when its all over, if youre still alive and your neck hasnt been cut,
then youre technically "saved"...

until then, youre making assumptions... possibly, & likely, "fatal"
assumptions....

and personally, I feel I'd be extremely fortunant to survive whats
coming... in spite of a lifetime of collecting survival skills,
being 200 miles from the nearest potential nuclear target, living on
a mountain, in the easy to survive in tropics, and having spring
water, and a thousand food trees planted and beginning to produce, and
other non tree foods planted, and years of experience living on yucca
& green bananas....

if you want to believe youre saved, thats your business.. but I
notice that what Jesus said, seems to suggest a very practical
person... And his advice in Mathew 24 about running for the hills
doesnt seem to jibe well with people's logic that has them saved
automatically no matter what...

he would have said; dont worry, hang out where ever you are, as youre
already "saved"....

I feel sorry for the kids of the saved heads... Likely to end up as
small grease fires after the flash, because their parents were such
bliss ninnies...

Get out of Babylon....

I've heard Mathew 24 being explained on "family radio" as being
about churches... try inserting the words; "nuclear bomb" in line 15,
where it says the abomination of desolation, and see if it makes any
more sense to you... Churches my ass.... and if you believe what
Harold Camping says, its likely to be your ass that gets fried... The
guy isnt just off base, he's out in left field and misleading millions
to their deaths... and the passages he explains as describing the
end of the universe next May, are in fact a description of the effects
of a nuke, if I'm correct... the universe isnt going to end next
May...

more likely its when brother Harold has his retirement party...

"Opps! I was wrong again, thanks for all the money."

making alot of money off being wrong, and misleading people, isnt
much of a guarantee of being saved...

read the bible for yourself, apply the "from space" concept, and see
how it works.... then decide if youre "saved" or not yet...

as Jesus pointed out just before he left, that when he returned,
"people would look up and understand."

whats up folks? is "Heaven" maybe "the Heavens" and when you finally
get it, will it be too late to change your own nasty habits? and will
they likely think kindly of you for going along with normal? The same
normal that led to the destruction of a planet? wouldnt it be better
to rethink yourself now? quit following wolves who bleet sheep
talk...

and I'm taking a personal risk here... The risk of being wrong, and
misleading... could cost me my neck... But I'd rather be wrong and
get some people on the safe side, than be right and keep my big mouth
shut... To save my own neck...

it all makes sense once you get the from space overview... and I dont
care if a billion hippocrits howl for my blood... truth is truth...

read it for yourself.. Apply the thesis... Then think about normalcy,
what it really is, and what should you really be doing?

Chattering about being saved? or getting your buns out of ground
zero, and your head out of vanity land?

Tuesday 30th, November 2010..............

Morning,
seem to be inside a cloud this morning...
But it only rained a little then stopped....

I've been doing my usual routines; hiked up and packed firewood down
off the mountain, chopped it and split it with my favorite axe,
rebuilt my fire with sidelogs, and got some pea soup going.... its
done now, and I just put on some flatbread...

another experiment in minimalistic cooking... after discovering that
I could make thick flatbreads in banana leaves, I tried it without
the leaves, by using a smaller fire & cooking more slowly, and it
worked very well....

so this morning's experiment is trying it with unleavened corn
bread... so I ground corn, and rinsed all the floaties out of the
meal at the spring... and mixed with some wheat flour to glue it
together, and just poured it into the skillet....

Have been having monkeys show up at my shelter site to steal bananas,
they come within a few feet of me now... got a wheelbarrow load of
bananas this week, split half with my worker, and now sharing with our
arboreal little cousins...

and observing their antics, reminds me of people, and how they grab
from you and say meaningless things while doing it... I guess we
havnt come all that far in the last million years, still self
centered...

I think I'd rather center the self....

I've learned alot from living "poor".... its not what you lack that
hurts, its how people treat you... attitudes... so I'm thankful for
the humility 101, knowing others is wisdom... Now just to apply it to
myself to enhance personal enlightenment....

Lately I've been having some success, changing/improving my own
habits.. have been using organizing & repairing & maintaining my gear
as a way to improve my life at low cost, and need no one to make it
happen...

I find living alone to be very educational... No one to blame for
anything except the mug in the mirror... others may do thoughtless
things, or lie, or have their attitudes, but I've figured out the best
way to prevent being trashed emotionally by people's trips, is to
remove my own "me element" from the equation... so I'm learning to
accept that people are incurably egotistical, and use the experiences
to push for my own personal independence...

if I try to do something, and think it requires help, and ask for
help from people I assist however possible, and then get refused,
I'm learning that rather than become hurt or angry, I get farther by
just "going around" the problem...

i.e. Figuring out another way, that doesnt require anyone else....
this has been working well...

the more self reliant I am, the less I bother others... And the less I
need others, the less I feel trashed by their self centeredness..

and I've been finding that my neoindigenous lifestyle helps alot...
When you live minimalistically, the first thing you discover, is you
still have too much...

at one time, I owned 100x more than I do now... and now I find that I
still own 10X more than I need.... so why did I have all that other
stuff?

These days, I try to want, only inside the neoindigenous paradigm...
This creates a focus...

And I dont get side tracked by the endless wants that get inserted via
electonic means into the heads of the TV zombies.....

I was Chatting the other day, via text messages, with a local woman,
nice lady, two kids, living with her mom & step dad... I was talking
about the farm, that we just planted beans & corn, and that I'd loaned
land to a friend to plant beans on, and that he sent beans to his
mother and his son... And then I chatted about food recipes I was
experimenting on... Which led to mentioning firewood.... And the
woman got short with me, and said:

"Theres no firewood here! Good night!"

it was the last I've heard from her....
And thinking about it, I realized that she was too into a vanity land
existence, and didnt want to hear about free food & cooking fuel,
because it didnt match her goal structure... she wants some guy with
money to buy her food, so she can sit on her ass in a house & watch
soap operas...

well babe, from the looks of the economy, youre going to lose that
body fat aft fairly soon if you insist thats how its got to be.....

I had the same problem with my exwife... she wanted fancy food, not
stuff that came in 100 lb sacks or that I grew....

well, she's somebody elses problem now... And lives in a nice house
the bank owns....
I suspect she's under water on it, in spite of two incomes and
selling a second house...

I feel sorry for her, she's worked alot of years, since I put a stop
to her milking me... I used to call her "Norma Lee Normal" as her
highest aspirations seemed to be being as normal as she possibly
could....

well, I've observed that normalcy is the best way to insure you get
used badly...

"Must I do as others do? Thats crazy!" (paraphrasing the Tao)

sure is.... and getting worse every day... meanwhile, I'm trying the
cornmeal & flour flatbread, its about an inch thick, and not much
different from regular corn bread... Why have I used leavening for the
last 40 years? Because everybody else did.....

and thats how the big lie works... It steals us as puppies, and we
learn to be dogs not Coyotes....

meanwhile, every "Tentwife" of a thousand years ago likely knew what
I'm just discovering now.. That thick unleavened breads are great, if
you cook them slowly....

well, the peas, corn, and flour were all about 60 cents a pound... So
the dog and I eat well today, for less than $2........

I think we'll have ripe bananas for dessert, I hid some from the
monkeys.... and have four types going ripe...

Lately I've been searching online for images of crossbow releases...
i'm thinking about building another crossbow, after I finish the steel
limbed long bow I have 80% done now...

I see several types of releases and sears, and am thinking I may
kind of create a new style using elements from the others.. What I
want to build, is a repeater; a crossbow with a magazine for 8 inch
quarrels, that I can shoot as fast as I can draw it like a bow, and
release it... I've been sketching on it for several years, and
have most of it drawn out...

I'm thinking use spring steel for the bow, but have the limbs
narrower & longer than on a crossbow, so I can pull it manually..
Hoping for maybe 75 lb draw....

I was pleased during my online searching by the stuff I saw being
made... its obvious to me that alot of people are into muscle powered
weapons now... which makes sense, in a soon to be post collapse/post
Nuclear war reality..

relying on chemical propellants, is like relying on fossil fuels.. On
the day after the greedheads nuke the dogshit out of each other, &
everybody else, that .308, or .45 ACP are going to be wall hangers
after the last round exits the barrel...

what that translates into in survival speak, is gee! Youre out of
ammo forever...

this is why many survivalists also have bows, crossbows, swords
etc... And the extreme fringe go for aboriginal skills... Which is
why I took up knapping obsidian points..... which I can do one in
about 15 minutes... TV glass also works great....

I prefer steel broadheads, and prefer home brew to boughten... I've
made myself a simple swage to do ferrules, by drilling a hunk of 2
inch steel shaft, drilled it by hand by the way, using a carpenter's
brace and a steel bitt... Then I used a small hand reamer to taper the
hole, and then ground a punch to fit the taper.... it took several
hours, dripping sweat in the tropical heat, but now I have a lifetime
tool... I also make my own shafts... From splits, using a block
plane and a simple guide I made... works good... takes about an
hour to make a shaft...

( I have wild monkeys 6 ft from me eating my bananas.)

I'm thinking about switching from fletch to vanes on arrows... and
making the vanes out of cooking oil jug plastic... people raise
turkeys here in Costa Rica, but you cant get them to save you any
feathers... they ask why? And you tell them for arrows, and they
think youre crazy and burn the feathers... Had it happen many times,
including when I offer to pay money for the feathers...

continued.

Continued......

and so, I've given up on natural fletch, and I buy veggie oil for the
dog's food in half gallon jugs, so have the plastic.. and on the new
spring steel bow I'm working on, am thinking to make the arrow rest
for vanes, by using a couple tooth brushes with the handles cut off,
and the plastic matrix inlaid into the Mora wood riser, and the
bristles exposed at correct angles and spacing to allow passage of the
vanes.... I'm also thinking about stringing that bow with steel
cable... I make nice dacron bow strings, but just want to
experiment... figuring spring steel limbs are fairly indestructable,
perhaps a fine cable string might mate well and be reliable too....

nothing says I have to stay "Traditional"....

I find the spring steel makes nice bow limbs.. and being fairly
narrow, dont weigh too much...

and it sure creates a cheap bow.. Using scrap leaf springs from the
junkyard..... I cut them with an abrasive wheel in my Milwaukee worm
drive carpenters saw... which gives an accurate cut, and doesnt
overheat the metal... all those years of being a carpenter pay off
sometimes...

I'm wanting to continue my experimentation with spring steel bows, so
far I'm impressed.. The one I'm working on now, I worried about the
limbs being hard to pull, and created a very short riser... To allow
longer limbs for easier flexion leverage... The spring was a rare thin
leaf, just over an eighth thick.. And what I got was a lighter pull
bow than I wanted... come to find out, spring steel is fairly "Wangy"
stuff, and I'm thinking on the next model to go thicker spring, with
a shape like an Indian flat bow... But slightly narrower...

what I want is a short bow, with a 50 lb pull... I've learned I can
drill the spring for mounting to riser by resharpening carbide
masonary bitts with cutting edges shaped like a steel bitt... its a
bitch to drill, but can be done, using my Milwaukee hole shooter and
about 45 minutes a hole.. would be infinitely easier with a drill
press....

why steel bows? durability factor.. I'm after weapons that meet my
stargate criteria... The best I can build with available resources...
so far, learning a lot, and making nice things that are original & one
of a kind.... a man who makes his own weapons can fix or replace
them...

I've also discovered that using ambient resources, rather than the
traditional ingredients, results in more being learned, and one having
to do a lot of thinking to figure out how to use the unconventional
resources.... what I lack in availability & finances, I make up for
in learning how to use my brain... And sometimes obtain very pleasing
results....

and now that I've realized the neoindigenous overview, everything I do
harmonizes well....

my dream, is to not only survive the coming Apocalypse, but to do it
in style, and to thrive... That way, when our alien progenitors
return, I'll at least have won a personal victory in the face of
extreme adversity, and I will also have created a model for others...

and if I dont survive, I will at least die knowing I used my own mind
to the best of my ability...
I have zero intention of letting things "just happen" to me or mine...

I see a world in denial... When any fool can see where its all
going... when north Korea is lanching artillery barages into south
Korea, and Mid East
countries encouraging the US to hit Iran, the future gets easy to
predict... humanity is insane, and we use the word "normal" to
describe it....

And I'd rather live humble, than support the evil...
I doubt that the words; "I was just doing what was normal." will make
it very far with the progenitors...

to die right, is better than to live wrong...
And to live right is better than to die...

Wednesday 24th November 2010......

morning,
awaiting sunrise in an hour...
The moon is going down in the west... Maybe a day or two after the full moon....

the other day, I was thinking about the things I really use... The
cookware, how much of it, eveything from my toothbrush, to a pot
scrubber..

the stuff I use every day....
didnt come to 50 items...

it was a good mental perspective enhancer technique... and I
realized, that everything one really needs including a simple
shelter, doesnt add up to 6 months rent in vanityland...

I thought about my tools, which are the ones most used, and which are
most necessary for subsistence...

it was an interesting way to get an angle on reality, by just thinking
about materialism from a practical angle...

I realized how much of what I have is vanity... And how little I
really need to live comfortably...
And I have much less than the average blog reader... what I do have,
is more of the right stuff, and less of the garbage people buy because
they fall in love with it at a store....

most of that stuff has been edited out of my life by various fleecings
by fellow humanity...
At every divorce, every move, I had to let things go... and I held
on hardest to the things of practical value, and the things I loved
most...

I'm a bit different, love camping, making things, doing experimental
cooking with really basic ingredients, I like living simple, and I
hate complication or dependency on the system...

and being somewhat artistic, and some retro, combined with my
attractions to primitive & indigenous cultures, my possessions
nowdays are taking on a definite neoindigenous style...

its like looking into a crystal ball, and seeing yourself as you really are..

and so my thoughts wandered on.. Like a cow munching clumps of grass,
going from one thought clump to the next.... raising my cow head,
staring into an empty sky, and mentally chewing what I bit off...

and I realized that part of my problem with women, has been that I
didnt understand the true nature of the relationships.... I thought I
could do the things that are me, be a good guy, loving & all that, and
it should work... Right?

and I realized, that when you analyze life and its hardware from the
practical end, it becomes obvious I thought I was being a good
partner, and they thought of me as a personal vanity enhancer in trade
for grudging sexual favors....

because most of what the wife with the tapping foot, and the crossed
arms, and the narrowed eyes, expects, are things that enhance her
personal infinite vanities... And have little or nothing to do with
fundamental practical living....

it was a liberating realization....

and after living alone 16 years or so, I'm finally figuring it all out....

I think women's liberation is wonderful...
It means I dont have to support them... I can focus on getting my own
trip together to better my own life, instead of bettering their's....

women dont need us guys now... They have themselves, each other, and
the social system...

but they never seem to realize that all the fundamentals of the social
system are what the guys do.... and that the office jobs may be nice
and cushy, and you get to dress up nice, paint your billboard with
spendy cosmetics, and get to work in airconditioned spaces, but none
of those jobs produce any food, fix any cars, or make any item of
practical use...

so I see that men's liberation consists of not feeding the bears
individually or collectively thru a social system that aint working
for us by any means what so ever....

I think focusing on practical reality, and personal needs at a
subsistence level is really good for the soul....

I can garden, cut firewood, fix my gear, go fishing, make crafts, etc.
and never do anything that supports the twisted status quo.... My
fem-vanities support footprint is effectively zero....

Leaves alot of free time to think....

I see the men as having been enslaved by their hormones... I've
learned not giving a shit cures that... Also not having it in my face
helps alot...

living in a natural setting is better than doing the daily rumba in
the orgy of lusts...

I get to be me....

Subsistence versus holding down a job.........

morning,
going on two... woke at midnight, rebooted my fire, ate some baked
spuds, and baked Sagu...

Sagu is a starchy tuber in the Ginger family, very fiberous, and a
pain to peel... I like the flavor alot, use it in soups, or cut short
and cooked with rice etc. But today I tried baking it for the first
time, and was suprised... Made it easy to peel, and one could bite off
short hunks for the fiber problem, and so I just ate my other food,
and kept a Sagu in my left hand, and bit off hunks when I wanted a
change..

got a five gallon bucket of Papa chilicanas today, dont know correct
name, suspect its polynesian, a pretty vine, that will grow just about
anywhere here... Once you plant it, the plant keeps growing
perenially, dies back in dry season, resprouts from the spuds when the
rain comes, main harvest is in December... If you leave a plant go a
couple years, its a heavy producer, with nice teardrop shaped tubers,
and one plant in good soil will give a bucket full of tubers... I've
been multiplying it for several years, started with three plants,
have hundreds now, hoping to get at leasts a thousand plants...
then my goal is to start planting it everywhere... take horse loads
of seed up into the brush, or into the jungle, and plant it like
squirrels plant acorns... yesterday and today, living on
tubers... baked spuds, Sagu, and even ginger tea...

and put a big pot of soup on, over a fire as I write, for in the morning...

I've been contemplating the difference between subsistence and holding
down a job... I think subsistence is alot better... No driving to
work, no asshole bosses, no bureauocratic stress, no taxes, no need
to have a car....

I've been working towards subsistence for years, relearning all the
way... got my fruit and food trees in first as they take the
longest... now working towards staple foods... planting an area of
Casava... I lived on the stuff a couple years, known as yucca here in
central america... Got burnt out on it, but now after a few years, and
having other stuff too, back planting it again...

My worker broadcast beans and corn yesterday, and will put in another
morning at it this coming week... he's working above the new Yucca
patch, and I'm thinking to use the area after picking the beans to
extend yucca area... guessing we'll have a good half acre going this
year..
The corn is for seed, this summer finally building the big garden..
Its about an acre area... Will be for corn, chick peas, squash etc.
All staples...

My plan is to go out and dig a new raised bed every morning during the
dry season... removing rocks and brush stumps, tilling the soil with
a heavy grub hoe, made from a pickhoe that I cut the pick off of...
then as I build more beds, till up the finished ones with a lighter
hoe, and plant corn and manicillo clover... in april after corn
harvest, will plant chick peas in the manicillo... And next dry season
harves them, retill the beds, and plant more corn or start planting
squash, sweet potatos etc...

my guess is it will take at least a year to build an acre of beds...
But as I do, can get several crops a year off the finished beds... in
time will create a nice garden, I've done this process before
elsewhere many times... but mostly as a veggie garden.. As grains
were so cheap... Well, that was then, this is now, so I'm about to
apply a life time of organic gardening experience towards going all
the way on a subsistence diet... the food trees are producing now,
have unlimited breadnuts, citrus, etc, and have been experimenting
with different things.. Discovered breadnuts and grated coconut make a
nice granola type trail mix base... Use dried starfruit in it too...

yesterday I saw that one of my cranberry trees was putting on a second
crop, I ate a few of the last fruit from the first crop, looking at
the coming crop which is loading down the tree... My second tree
should also start producing this year, and we'll be getting starts
sprouting from windfall fruit, and start planting more trees... Fifty
would be a nice number I think...

On subsistence, I think the main thing after the land, is to have
tools... I've been collecting gardening tools, making handles, and
getting geared up for whats coming... As the banksters rob the
economy, I'm evolving more towards producing everything I can to
prepare to not need them...

I also have two types of coffee going... kona from hawaii, a dwarf
variety, and I also have an Arabic coffee tree... the fruit off the
coffee tree is a bit bland, with just a touch of a wintergreeen
flavor, but thinking to dry and add to my trail mix, as its a powerful
anti aging food....

and we'll keep multiplying trees as we get starts, its producing
now.... the Kona is producing, and we have starts in a nursery
bed... should be getting into serious numbers of plants in about 5
years... about then will be getting all I need for consumption....

subsistence is more like a hobby than a job..
It entails alot of work, but its varied, and seasonal, and you spend
alot of time processing things...

but its productive, and wholesome, and doesnt require carrying the
burden stones of taxation, inflation, or supporting management or
Elite types... what that means, is everything you produce is yours...

I see humans love to fill their own sack figuratively... Very
egocentric, add money, and you get greed... I think this is a
perversion of older subsistence mindsets... take money out of the
equation, and retro-replace with subsistence, and the desire to fill
your sack becomes harmless to others unless you stray off your own
land..

and as I pointed out to a couple Tico friends today, its only a
matter of time until the bureauocrats and elite try sending around
their thugs to raid our food storage, so we need to immitate ancient
cultures, and create hidden storage away from the shelter, build
several, and when food tax time comes, not have much in the pantry,
hide the daughters, sons etc. and also build bows, crossbows etc.
and start collecting frog & snake toxins, so we can snipe the
Raiders from the briar patch, and genetically edit the planet over
time... doesnt take much of a bow to launch a poisoned arrow, and
their submachine guns they now carry have to have something to shoot
at... If they start atrocities, it will only cause more bows &
arrows...

its an old cycle... Empires get arrogant & decadent, and begin
abusing people and creating fiat currencys...

the people go back to growing food, storing it, and defending it...
and so we come full circle soon... only now we have better bows,
and theres more of us soon... As the city people will be looking thin
& hungry in a few years, and anybody with country connections will
decide shelling beans is better than starving while being expected to
work for bogus money...

I've been thinking about the teachings in the Tao, Bible, Koran, etc.
and what the ranchers of the galaxy put us here for... Its mostly to
learn what not to do, what doesnt work over time, and the fundamentals
of a sustainable culture....

"Learn to subsist, subsist to learn."

Saturday, 6th of November 2010..........

Morning,
we've had unusual weather the last week..
The normal wet season rains worked themselves up into several days of
heavy rains that came in waves, and so several days of cabin fever up
here on poverty mountain.. And flooding down in the valleys, with
houses ruined and people lost...
Its the second worst storm in my 15 plus years here... Me & the dog
did OK, a few days with problems cooking outside & such, but no
damage...

It was nasty enough I didnt feel like taking a spring water bath in
cold rain, so I heated water on the fire, and took hot baths in cold
rain... Currently heating more water, just in case it starts raining
again... But I can see the valley bottom this morning, so I think its
about over..

I listened to radio, heard a pretty good interview with Dr. Paul Craig
Roberts the economist.. He's thinking the economic & political status
quo are trying to fix the economy by using inflation to promote
growth, but that they dont realize it only works in a society with an
industrial infrastucture, and not in one where the factorys have all
been offshored.. he thinks import duties into the US are the answer...
That it will cause factorys to relocate back to the US... I dont
agree, I suspect theyll just raise wages slightly, in south east Asia,
and run off that producer/consumer base... And so import duty would
only raise prices in the US, and do little for anyone except the
government... Which would be like feeding the giant more children from
the village...

I think the answer is to replace the status quo economy, with a black
market economy based on food as the medium of exchange..

the government will of course try to prevent this, and institute a
cashless society and a tatoo on your forehead... Which wont do
anything for you except make it more likely you get your neck cut on
alien arrival day...

my thoughts this morning have been around the differences between
having some class, and having excessive vanity..

Many primitive societies had alot of class, our modern society has
only vanity.. people who think theyre credit rich.. and living their
futile lives living beyond their actual means, and feeling their self
worth is dependent on alot of materialistic trash...

I see it differently, that class is what you create, and vanity is
what you buy.... I do believe there is a balance point.. No way I can
compete with the technocult making hoe heads or pizza pans, but that
dosent stop me from growing as many ingredients for the pizza as
possible, or from making my own handles...

And I'm not interested in a ranch style house in the burbs, with a
garage full of materialism... its fake class.. No creativity
involved, no adventure, no security either... but if I can live
humble, and make and grow things, then its real progress.. And I have
been buying hoes and Pizza pans, preparing for the crisis.. The
difference between me and others, is I have a clue of how bad its
going to get... Dr. Roberts is starting to figure that one out too,
and assumes total collapse.. I think it will be near total collapse,
but with constant manipulations by the status quo to keep their
oppulent life styles while the rest of us eat the cake of reality...

And as far as I can see, there is no variance from Biblical
predictions, so I shall continue my endevours at preparing for the
worst, by living humble and pushing towards a lifestyle based on my
tree food plantings and gardening etc...

I dont mind walking down to the spring for water, or carrying my
dishes down there to do.. i dont even mind living alone, sure is
peaceful without having to please some woman who thinks her vanity
needs everything all the other bitches have, and as much more as she
can get....

I met a woman on the bus a few weeks back, that I liked, very humble..
And I'm communicating with a couple more, but I dont see myself as
being ready for a bunch of problems yet.. I want to improve my
housing, get the new garden built etc. And I've discovered that if I
keep my protien intake fairly low, the hormones go away, and I dont
often think of women.. Which is very pleasant & much appreciated by
me....

I suspect as the currency devalues, women will rediscover men to be
handy devices to get food into the pots & pans, and he wont have to
be too good looking, rich, or witty to be a proper victim for their
machinations... to me, the perfect time to find a female partner, is
when vanity has turned into horror, and afterwards, when theyve
realized some real necesity and humility....

so, I think I'll get my wish in due time, for some decent company,
who is more into being with me for what & who I am, and less into
using me to try to fulfill her limitless vanities... I should think
that a decent roof, and some food for the harvesting, and the works of
my hands should be enough to please any sane woman..

I've had my fill, and then some, of the insanity in the orgy of lusts
mentality of the lowlands... I find happiness is more rooted in
simplicity than in the technocult... And I do look foreward to the
arrival of our progenitors.. it would be so much nicer to live in a
sane world.. this one, a different one, doesnt matter to me, just
someplace where the camping & gardening are good, and even the status
quo is humble, friendly, and helpful...

the more I learn & realize, the more screwed up modern civilisation
looks to me..

but until then, I have my projects & routines to fill my days... in
peace and tranquility.. And I pity the poor creatures who are lost in
the mazes of endless desires... Its not a pleasant reality...

SMUDO

Simplify
Minimize
Upgrade
downsize
Organize

these have been my watch words for many years.. And have worked well...

so.. Its a pretty morning here.. I'll soon have a warm bath to take..
There are some bananas going ripe, and I have some leftovers to finish
off...
I think I'll break out the guitar, and practice some, hoping to some
day be decent enough to feel like I have achieved another life time
personal goal....

today, I'll enjoy the sunshine....

Monday 25 th October 2010........

morning.....
Its about one thirty, beautiful moonlit night, crickets & creeks sounds....

I'm feeling fine, slept plenty.. Peaceful, only ocasional car sounds
from the highway down in the valley.. just how I like it... The less
car noises the better... couldnt imagine living in a city, the mind
would never be able to relax..

no wonder stress is the number one ailment now in the US... All I
can say, is you've done it to yourselves...

I observe that humans invariably want more.. wether its food, money,
drugs, sex, power, theyre like pigs at a trough, want more until
their guts expand and they weigh 300 lbs...

well, I've gotten to learn about minimalism.. I eat once or twice a
day.. simple diet.. Have no power or money, my materialism arrives in
small bits and pieces... Takes me months or years to collect boughten
ingredients for projects etc.. but I've also learned how little
one actually needs...

my hobbies have evolved into my lifestyle, and look to do more so
in the future... I'm not driven by my lusts... And my wants are
limited by my mindset, and my projects, and things I buy invariably
fit inside it...

I'm trying to fill in on my gardening tools... I think theres only
one or two hoes left on my list of a complete set, could use a
turning fork.. Should upgrade my shovels some.. but I can get by
with what I have..

I got by with much less for many years..

The technocult is like an insidious monster thats eaten everybody...
its a Piper thats led the children off to vanity land for
generations... until there's no one left..

now only me, on my mountain... but I have my wolfy dog for
company, and the animals, and the mountain is very pretty now...
forest, when I bought it, it was an eroded beyond belief cattle farm
with pastures full of scrub brush... now its mostly young forest
filled with wildlife..

and so I find my own center of self, while a world finds self centeredness..

I dont watch TV, so my brain doesnt get sucked out and into the
technocult... I've never seen American Idol, most of the actors I
hear about, I havnt a clue what they look like or starred in...

I dont know what the clothing styles are, last I knew, it was women's
butts hanging out of bikinis... fine on models, but likely not so
pretty at a beach full of refrigerator queens... most american women
should maybe consider wearing a Burkah to hide the cow...

They just complain the models are too skinny instead...

I guess they think bitching is beauty?

most of them should sign up for a year or two in a concentration
camp.. make it a fad... would keep them from having to use the
toilet brush to get the toilet paper around their ass, when their arm
wont reach anymore..

If thats beauty, I dont want any... better off alone & living in peace...

its a culture of gluttony... its a culture of lusts....

being worthless & alone is better...

when you near nothing, you at least know whats real...

sunday 24th October, 2010

I think for a rain top on my cart, I'd use rubberized truck tarp over
fiberglass or aluminum rod bows...

and I'd make the outer bows at each end inclined to provide some added
protection from the drips and sun.. And I'd likely size my cart's box
long enough I could lay down and sleep in it comfortably... About 6 ft
of floor would be right in my case.. I would also fabricate up some
end curtins, and a tiny wood stove that I could hang on thr cart's
inside, with it's pipe thru the tarp via a metal patch... This would
allow me to live comfortably in a very small cart, and travel
anywhere within reason.... I would also have brakes on the cart.. For
helping the horse downhill, and for cases of startlement of the
horse....

I would try to keep my gear minimal for space and weight.. My refugee
kit would have all the basics for subsistenc living, but I'd save
weight where ever possible.. like I am currently making gardening
tools with shorter handles, keeping hoe and shovel handles short, with
overall lengths of 36 inches or less... I would also be minimizing
my cooking gear... and everything would have to be well organized...
i would also likely have a small solar panel and small gelcell battery
for lighting, and have a headlight and tail light, so I could travel
any roads at night when there isnt any car traffic...

And I'd like an antenna for my short wave.. My first choice would be
a long stainless whip antenna like the truckers use... I would also
have an orange flag for it, to promote being seen in day time on
roads..

I would also build external mounts for my water containers etc.. And
I'd try to do my internal organization into size 6 ammo cans, so I
could cover with a pad, and sleep on top of them...

all you really need folks is a warm dry place to sleep and cook....
The rest of your house is a reflection of your vanity....

I might also build a small pallet and pad, to put under the cart for
my dog to sleep on in the rain, and not lay in a puddle..

it would hang on the outside, or perhaps store up under the floor of
the cart.. And I'd likely build mounts for my shovel, Axe etc. On the
outside of cart with the handles fairly horizintal to keep from
hanging up on brush etc...

the floor of the cart would either be aluminum or plywood with a hunk
of carpet cut to fit, that I could remove to clean by wasing in a
river...

my food would go into plastic buckets.. And I'd build a box for my
cooking gear... and I'd install some hooks high on the inside of the
tarp bows to hang my clothing on... I'd have a small tool box
with wrenches etc. To do repairs on the cart, and another for horse
care items... And yet another with basic wood working tools... And I'd
have a jack and a tire pump, and a spare wheel and tire.. I'd also
throw in a small hand crank grainmill, and I'd build a nice seat with
a back up front... And my design would include a water tight box
inside the tube frame of the cart for allowing the cart to be floated
across rivers etc. By removing the poles, and pulling it with rope, of
which I'd have plenty....

other items would be my bow & arrows, and some fishing gear.. And
the kitchen stuff would include a cutting board and a thermos..

For clothing I want comfortable easy to work or walk in pants, shorts,
shirts, etc. And a good jacket and rain gear... I have a pattern for
pants that comes from a karate uniform.. and I'd also make up some
items blanket lined... For cold at higher altitudes etc...

Which is what I was thinking about this morning when I woke up,
making some blanket lined pants and a vest & jacket... That I could
cover with a blanket travel cape and stay warm in in spite of weather
conditions...

I was given a leather coat awhile back, minus the sleeves, its several
sizes too big for me... Its a Western style with acrylic wool
sheepskin lining and oversized collar.. I'm thinking I want to cut it
down to fit, and to remove weight, and keep the collar, buttons,
pockets etc. And make more of a long vest or sleeveless Jerkin out of
it...

And I'm also planning on making some shoes, like moccasins, but with
rubber soles, and I'm collecting stuff to do some car tire sandals out
of..

What I am doing, is using the Neoindigenous mindset to change my
life a bit at a time to a more possibly nomadic reality... where if I
feel like it, I can go fishing for days, or camp anywhere I choose...
I hope to be building some nice yurts soon to upgrade my shelter..
thinking to do one small one also, about a 12 ft diameter, with
shorter walls, and tarp cover.. And use thinner lumber on it, so I
can transport it easily, like in a cart as a second trip item? what I
have discovered people, is that I'm happier camping than I ever was
living in a house, and working a job to pay for it.. All I want to do
now, is refine my life a bit at a time until I'm 100% neoindigenous..
I can live comfortably on my farm in a couple larger yurts... So why
should I consider building a house? it would just be an un necessary
vanity and more to keep up... I'd rather live in something simpler,
that didnt leave an eyesore in the ambient after my departure from
this planet.... I wouldnt want Trump Tower, if Donald gave it to me,
the first thing I would do is sell it, and use the money to buy empty
land in several countrys that I could camp on, and travel between by
pony cart or boat...

Sometimes I wonder about the sanity of such people, that their extreme
vanity has them building such edifices of ego? what goes on in their
minds? Are they really human? or are they ego monsters in the orgy
of lusts?

anyway, I'm going to hike over to the garden and send this, then be
about my daily rituals in freedom, in nature... The best compliment to
creation, that I can think of, is to appreciate it in person... If I
am a small bit of the great spirit, temporarily seperated into a body,
I'm at least going to enjoy the beauty, and make the best of my
days....

health to you my friends.. Especially mental health.. Which youre
unlikely to find in a shrink's office, or taking happy pills..

Suday 24th October 2010.......

Morning,
daybreak, I woke thinking about clothing projects, and just
restarted my fire..

One of my best realizations, is the use of the Neoindigenous concepts
as a focus point...
Materialism is limitless.. And we so often fall victims to our own
limitless vanities.. we walk thru a store and see something we like..
the orgy of lusts runs on such events... And we gayly go thru life
filling our sacks with all kinds of stuff we dont really need...

no vanity is too much for us, we lose our sense of balance, we become
addicted to shopping for the rush; the good feeling of doing things
that get us material items for ourself... and at Christmas, we are
induced by propaganda to be better than we are by doing even more of
it, and giving materialism away to those we have emotional attachments
to....

But what would happen, if we installed a new software application into
our minds? a new mindset, where everything we got had to fit into an
expedition scenario?

Come children, lets use our imaginations..
lets imagine that we're going on an adventure... A change our lives
expedition...

we're going to prepare to go out and live in the brush somewhere,
somewhere nice... And its a ways out there... and we arent coming
back often after we get there, perhaps never...

What would we really need?

Its a small list really.. But bigger than one thinks....
But it is finite, unlike our normal in the system
desires only limited by economics and space in the bank's house, or
the landlord's appartment...

the necessities of life are food, clothing, shelter, and tools, and weapons.....

but its a bit more complicated, food requires preparation, also the
carrying of water, and ways to store our food reserves, and to process
food we grow, gather, & hunt for, into things we can eat now, or
store for later.. We also need to consider transportation... Maybe we
should rent a dump truck to take us out there, and raise the bed &
create a pile of our necessities, and then the driver waves, and
drives off, happy with his fee?

Or would it be better, if our transportation system was more
autonomous? some way to move ouselves & our possessions, and not rely
on others?

what if we realized that one spot in the brush wasnt just as good as
another? and that if we moved a few miles this way or that, we could
obtain advantages for ourselves....

and would it be a good idea to rely on fossil fuel? Or would we be
better off with transportation that relied on enegy sources not
dependent on a terminal technoculture?

I was recently searching on line for pony carts, just curious whats
out there.. I ran into some interesting stuff... And some nice
stuff.. One item was a cart of sorts for some bazaar comepetition
where the owner is his own mule, and yards his cart across a desert
and up a mountain, over a period of days.. of course he has to
practice regularly to be a decent competitor, so I imagine the
deoderant and jogging suit companys do well catering to such heads &
hormones....

I think a human powered cart is a good Idea to own and use, but just
as a minimalistic insurance policy.. Not as my larger plan.. to me
the self pulled cart would be a way to move minimalistic amounts of
refugee gear some distance to a better reality in an emergency.. And
I've put many hours
into designing such carts for personal use...

I also ran into old gypsy wagons that people were restoring, it seems
to be some kind of a fad in Europe... they were interesting and
pretty, and the right size, i.e. Very small, but I'm old enough,
and I've studied enough blacksmithing to know I'm not interested in
wooden wheels.. I'm not a Luddite Retro... I'm a thinking man
looking forward, and realizing some retro concepts are good, but that
if I apply some technology now, and design and make the absolute best
gear I can, that I can avoid problems later, when I least need
them...

I also do metal fabrication, and have done more mechanics work than I
care to think about.. And I know I'd like to avoid laying in the mud,
under some two ton contraption, with greasy dirt falling in my eyes,
busting my knuckles with wrenches, working in tight places, that some
university engineer had designed, with never once in his life having
to fix anything anywhere....

So I try to focus my designs to be simple to work on, as durable as I
can figure out how to make them, and as resistant to the elements as
possible..

I also like to keep things light weight... the pony in my pasture has
real limits to what he can do for how long... Just carrying me on his
back 15 miles in a day is asking alot from the poor critter.. So how
much cart and load do I want to load him down with? And am I going to
want to get out of the flats with it?

you bet...

why? well because I've noticed that up, often equals out, when it
concerns humans...
Some 80% of humanity lives within five meters of sea level, and theyre
busy causing as many problems as they can.... simotainiously 80% of
humanity seems to be urban... And if I go down into a city, its
invariably to get something and then get out.. I never have any urge
to stay there..

I've asked people in cities why they live there, generally the
response is; "For the money."

Well my life isnt made up of money... I'm more addicted to freedom,
tranquility, and adventure...

Anyway, to get up &/or out, I want as light of a cart for Clipper to
pull as possible... if I can, I would build it mostly of aluminum
pipe, fairly thickwall, welded into triangulated trusses, with every
inch of metal doing at least two or three jobs.. And I'd keep overall
weight down.... Way down...

If I cant build of aluminum, and have to build of steel, my cart would
have thinner tubing everywhere possible... here in Zona Sur, the
Latins grow oil palm, and get it out to the road with pony carts...
They've discovered arc welders, and tend to use steel water pipe,
because its what they can weld with an arc welder, anything thinner
and you just blow holes in it even at minimal settings on the welder..

so if I go to steel constrution, I'd gas weld it.. Slower, more
expensive to do, but it would allow me to use thinner tubing, and
save weight...

The palm grower's carts are so heavy, that it takes three guys to roll
them around empty on flat ground... not what I'd want to attach to my
good friend with hoofs, and expect him to haul much in the hills..

they also tend to use old truck bearings... This adds to the weight..
And as the cart might be over loaded with a thousand pounds, using
bearings designed to carry 5 to 10 times that is surely overkill... My
personal favorite choices would be boat trailer hubs, or front hubs
off a 4wd mini truck, or hubs off the aft end of a front wheel drive
car... then I'd want as tall of wheels as possible, and would go
aluminum, and tall fairly wide tires... Say 8 inches wide if
possible..

the reasons I would go tall with wheels and tires are ground
clearance, to go over rocks and stumps etc. And for easier rolling
taller wheels that give better leverage against bearing resistance,
and to get the load higher for better pulling geometry for a horse
who's mass is up a ways from his hoofs.. This is a little understood
fact nowdays, few realize that a load near the ground has a physics
vector for a tall horse, and can add maybe 20% to the amout of force
needed to pull the same mass in line whith the horse's center of
mass... Its one reason old horse drawn carriages etc. Were so high off
the ground.. Lost physics these days...

I would go rubber tires, but a tich on the durable side.. A few more
plys, and put an innertube inside, tubeless or not.. I like tire
work, like I like mechanic's work...

and I also know that I've seen tubed tires hold air for decades...

the reason for the slightly wider tires is floatation, the ability of
the tire to stay higher in soft ground...

When I was a kid, traveling across the US, you could still see the old
wagon ruts from the migrations West a hundred years earlier.. it took
alot of energy to dig those ruts that deep and that far.... wider
tires wouldnt have done as much of that...

Sunday, 24 October 2010.............

Morning,
about one O'Clock in the morning...
I've been up since just before midnight.
Woke refreshed, after falling asleep at sundown...
The moon is up, a pleasant night, built a fire and made coffee.. Now
sipping slowly while it cools...
The creeks are roaring, the crickets chirping, and all is peaceful...
ocasionaly an Owl calls in the distance. The temperature is near
perfect, cool but not cold.. I sit in a sleeveless shirt, comfortable,
content, and alone other than my wolfy dog on the floor sleeping
peacefully...
Far away, people hustle, trying to make it in the technocult.. They
have none of the above.. I am infinitly wealthy in comparison...

They eat until it kills them, or on the other end of things economic,
have nothing to feed their children...

All struggling against each other, competing for the collective pie...

I rise now and then, to poke sticks into my tiny fire,
and apreciate my reality...

Yesterday my worker came, brought up my 25 lbs of corn, and as we
shared cups of coffee,
he told me his wife was using the sewing machine I bought her, he'd
cut a hole in the plank for the machine, mounted it on the old treadle
bottom I'd given them, and she'd been patching clothing for them all,
altered some things for my little niece, and altered her kitchen
curtains to fit better, and also altered the covers she had for
kitchen apliances etc..

We moved the solar panel back to the south side of the shelter's
roof, here at 8+ degrees north the sun actually is on the north side
for half the year..

then he worked around the place, chopping brush, and Planted 6 more
healthy banana starts in the area we are filling up.. Its maybe a
quarter of an acre... he cut two stalks of bananas, and we divided
them in half, and he went home with a bag of bananas for his wife and
child...

I always send my little niece, now three, fruit whenever we have it,
something to fill little cheeks as she plays... she's a happy little
girl, shares well, and is very social... she knows nothing of the
world's problems... Nothing about the greed and social injustice..
Just the dead body's nightly on the TV... With talking heads looking
important, explaining why nothing can be done about it...

Funny how they never realize the truth, that the entire system is
twisted and evil...

anyway, I got my corn into a plastic bucket, safe from damp, insects
and rodents, and I made some chord lanyards for the stainless water
bottles I did from thermos liners..

I havnt listened to the short wave for days, so dont have a clue as to
what you all are suffering thru lately.. taking a break for my
sanity...

Nor have I practiced guitar, low battery, due to rainy season skys,
and the panel needing a relocate...

but maybe today I can unzip it's case and continue learning...

We had a large hawk come sit in a tree, maybe 25 feet away as we drank
our coffee... My worker commented on it.. I whistled softly to it and
got it's attention, and then it went back to preening it's feathers
and we continued talking... no fear at this camp site... Only thing
in any danger here, are the grasshoppers the dog catches, or the
ocasional giant beatles she crunches down happily, or the rats she
hunts and gobbles down.. She leaves the lizards alone because I told
her not to eat them, she ignors the toads that hop over her on the way
in and out of their daytime hiding places...

So we live fairly well, as part of our brush patch... Not doing much harm...

and we plant the fruit trees.. and the animals come for windfalls...

anyway, I think I'll go back to sleep, snooze away a few more hours
until dawn... I just felt like expressing the tranquility to you...

Thursday 21st October, 2010.........

Morning, a couple hours until dawn..

thinking this morning to teach a couple tricks;

first is a technique for Axe work, for all you folks that think you
know Axes and how to use them..

I learned this recently, after having begun using an axe in serious at
about age 16...

here in central america we have alot of Guava growing, its not native,
but has naturalized..

Guava is a fruitwood, its very very nice for carving, similar to
Holly... it has very interesting properties, as its both soft &
tough at the same time... Soft is relative to other harder woods, not
relative to really softer types.. Its perhaps similar to Apple wood in
hardness.. Its also very resilent, and would be my choice here for
barrel hoops in coopering, or if I needed a wooden spring perhaps..
you can bend it farther than anything else I know in wood types,
without breaking the fiber...

it makes good firewood, and I use it green for backlogs or sidelog to
hold a fire.. i.e. Keep a fire going burning a big slow hunk...

its serious work to chop and split, not my favorite to think about
when its wood getting time due to the amount of power required of the
moron on the Axe handle... The first thing I figured out was in
chopping up limbs etc. one had best keep the cut attempts at as acute
or sharp angle as possible.. Chopping it across the grain is somewhat
futile feeling...

then, I discovered that if you used only half of the axe blade, either
toe or heel, you could get the axe to go thru it better than trying to
strike at the center of the bitt.. So I developed a technique, where I
would first strike at the closest half of the round with the toe of
the axe, and then reach across that cut and strike with the heel, both
at acute angles to the grain, and chopping the limbs up into stove
wood became much easier..

then I combined this with another trick that I have, of laying the
piece across my chopping block, a stump currently, with the long end
of the piece away from me, and doing a split cut first..then coming in
from both sides with the toe of the axe, and doing the half cuts with
the toe of the axe, resulting in two hunks of stove wood for every
three strikes, and then one pulls the pole towards one's self, and
repeats the process, resulting in making quick work of longer sections
of it.. And less tounge hanging out when finished..

My worker prefers to cut the stuff with the chainsaw, even limbs, due
to the amount of force necessary with an axe, even a very sharp axe..

he's been doing incredible amounts of chopping with axe and machette,
since he was about 9 years old... child labor... Every day except
sunday...

the guy can out work me about 5:1.... and I can outwork the average
city person maybe 3:1...

anyway, I had him chop wood with the axe the other day.. Just to show
him the techniques.. he immediately adopted them...

you may have a chainsaw.. But without the technocult and alot of
infrastructure, to keep the fuel and oil supply line going, it
becomes history as a wood getting device.. So even the serious
survival & subsistence type would do well to learn these techniques...
As the number one survival tool in northern climates is the axe..
Here in the tropical jungle its number two behind the machete..

another thing to know, is that its best for cooking, to build your
fire against something.. I generally prefer building my cooking fire
against a backlog, or the back wall of my stone fire pit... this
reflects the heat back into the fire and results in better burning..
for quick fires, say for that first cup of coffee or tea, I like to
use a fire built into a corner, as it does the same thing only 2X
better.. A small fire, built of smaller dry sticks into a corner,
focuses the heat, and will produce a pot of hot water faster than a
propane stove...

I once saw an interesting foto of a fireplace built into the corner of
a masonry house.. It was incredibly simple looking.. just an arch over
the opening, leading on up, and after the mantle a smaller secton to
create the chiminey...

a very nice use for corners, which tend to be less useful generally
than other parts of a house... And I suspect a shape that would
produce better fires using less wood, than a classic Rumford style
fireplace, and be several times easier to construct.. It was also
nicely aesthetic...

The traditional fireplace as we know it evolved in Europe during the
feudal era.. Its designed to use fairly long pieces to allow large
fires for reflected heat, and its hearth for cooking, or cooking with
several pots at the same time... Hung from a bar across the hearth..
Or toasting etc. Over coals pulled out onto its hearth.. otherwise
the hearth would be lower, even with the floor to allow better heating
of the floor level of the home due to convection & air circulation..
if I were building a fireplace for heating in a cold climate, I would
build it in a stepped down area lower than the floor, so that the
coldest air in the house thermosiphoned to the fire.. This would make
for warmer feet...

the Rumford style fireplace was also the result of cheap slave labor
and an elite nobility who could have the serfs out working in the
cold, snow, mud, etc. Cutting large amounts of wood, in what were vast
forests of the European plain... Well things have changed.. The
forests are history, and the Nobility have evolved into bankers..
game staying pretty much the same....

the fireplace in a corner design came from the Mexican American
culture, which generally resides in places with warmer days, colder
nights, and not much for cooking fuel.. nor alot of wealth to spend
building huge impressive fireplaces... Once again, humility pays
dividends.. the design is obviously very efficient...

the fireplace also exceeds the wood stove, in being able to burn
green wood... in a stove this is impossible as the steam from the
green or wet wood will dampen the fire.. While in a more open
fireplace, the open contruction allows more air flow to remove the
vapor at the fire, allowing cooking on green wood of larger sizes,
thus holding a loner burning slower fire, which is better for
cooking.. This is a now forgotten art, and only mention of it I have
ever seen, was in a foxfire book.. I use the technique constantly, and
it allows me to hold fire overnight, and still have coals in the
morning, allowing rebuilding the fire without more matches or use of a
lighter.. Or waiting for the sun to use a lens... and in the future I
suspect the lighting of fires to be as much of an ordeal as it was in
the past... When the technocult goes down, matches & lighters become
history, and the relighting of fires becomes an unwanted extra task..
my guess is people will have to group up for mutual protection, and
cooperation, and each home keep a round the clock watch for raiders
and to keep the home fire burning..

The use of more green wood also allows firewood cutting to be spread
out over the entire year, rather than concentrated in summer.. This
allows working in cooler temperatures...

Its also wise to realize that in olden days, people relied on more
clothing even inside the home to stay warm... Not on bigger fires or
just turning up the thermostat... We live in decadent times leading to
times of anarchy, excessive wealth soon leading to universal
poverty, which leads to humility and restarts the cycle at its
fundamentals...
unfortunately this time, we have nuclear weapons... Its going to be a
long long period of dark ages, unless the Alien arrival predicted in
the Bible happens, which probably wont do much to prevent continued
humility...

and for a final few words on fire. a fire is the center of a home,
its like a good mother, with her love being what everyone revolves
around.. To share a hearth is to share heart, and I suspect the two
words came from the same root.

in whats coming, blaming will cure nothing, and result in fighting and
death.. And if you want to survive, the second most important factor
after self reliance, will be group effort.. And I suggest you consider
finding your hearts, and forming your clans and tribes and serious
relationships now, based on human decency.

Wednesday, 20 October, 2010.......

Morning, awaiting dawn,
its about Car O'Clock, soon everybody jumping in their vanitymobiles
to race off to their slave positions, to pay for their tickets in the
money orgy...

I took a visit to it a week or so back, did a border cross, hung
out in a hotel, watched the people doing their thing.. ate a few
things I hadnt had in months.. Got a few more items towards my
subsistence... bought a couple used plastic food buckets for $2
each, happy to have found a source for them. Buying a couple each
border trip, hoping to get at least a dozen.. for food storage, and
also other things, they keep the rats, roaches & termites and water
from destroying everything..

going to try and get as much materialism as possible into buckets..
Even my refugee pack items, stuff the packs into buckets too if
possible. Then I can store them under my shelter, make more space in
it.. And have the reserve items protected, albeit bucket covered with
dust and dirt that filters thru the cracks in the floor lumber..

also got a couple 28 inch rula style machetes, thinking to do same
each border cross, theyre a dollar cheaper in Panama, would like to
get a dozen, sharpen and paint them against rusting, and store them
for whats coming..

the machete is the number one subsistence agricultural tool here,
used in a hundred different ways... if I can get to my stash of a
dozen, would be enough to last my lifetime remaining... thats my
objective now, to get my basic necessities taken care of, assuming the
demise of the technocult...

also got a blanket for my little niece, thinking she'd like her own
blanket, only to discover my two buddies, both american men, had each
given her blankets... a good grin for me, making me wonder what
psychology is it, that has older american men giving a three year old
little girl each a blanket? both my buddies are really good people,
good hearted and decent, so I felt good about them doing it, and happy
to join their little unrealized blanket givers group, to little third
world girls...

my neice is a sweet and very social type, bright and alive, shares
well, and always asks me to bring her bread, which I always do... She
even asks her dad to ask me when I'm going to town to bring her
bread.. its a rice & beans reality here, bread is considered an
expensive treat.. I'll soon be teaching her mother several types of
bread... My worker has a motorcycle now, so we're going to move my
grain mill down to his house occaisionaly, buy a needed new V-belt, so
we can use electricity to grind corn we buy and grow.. so a little
girl will soon be eating corn bread with bananas, grated coconut, and
chopped toasted breadnuts in it.. much better than boughten bread
for her, and I suspect after that, I'll get asked about bananas &
coconuts etc. Instead of town trips...

Also got a hoe, I'd seen it last trip, couldnt afford it, but got it
this time, just a head, no handle, so another handle to do soon..
have several hoes, this one is different, has a longer bitt, looks
perfect for light tilling of raised beds... we are slowly working on
a new big garden area, hoping to get about an acre in raised beds
going this year, so I can grow all my food, and quit spending $30 a
month on it.. getting the hoe meant no lentils this month.. I
got peeled corn, 50 lbs, for $8+ for 25 lbs, so I wont go hungry, but
corn without some legume, is a boring diet... we are also working
towards an area for chick peas, plan is to grow corn and chick peas
for staple diet, with the tropical fruit I already have going for
added health, headed for 100% self sufficiency, and getting close..
I have other things going, four kinds of tropical tubers, that we
have been multiplying for years from a few starts.. think I may get
to my goal this year of a type called Papa Chilicanas, much like a
regular potato, but a bit more watery, turn out nice and fluffy
baked.. Thinking may make a thousand plants this year or next..
another is a plant in the ginger family, called; Sagu, a fiberous
little tuber with exelent taste, thats pretty good if you cut it into
very short pieces to allow eating it's fine fibers... also there is
Yami, or air potato, like a normal spud, have two types, it can grow a
ten pound spud in the ground, and seed by producing little spuds on
it's climbing vine, hence the name, grows potatoes hanging in the
air.. I only have a few plants, but we are multiplying... another
is Yucca, or Casava, Manioc, its names outside latin america... Very
good, fiberous, and can produce tubers you carry on your shoulder...
Most of the time smaller tubers, but its a weed food.. used to grow
big areas, lived on it a couple years, until I got tired of it.. Now
replanting a new area...

also met a woman on the bus, nice lady, single moming two kids.. very
humble, something you dont see often these days in women...
I communicate with several women, but not much I can do for them, most
still have their heads in the money game, and I lack decent housing...

but this year, I think we'll be cutting lumber, and building what I
call "Yurpis", a cross between a Yurt, and a Tipi, that I've designed
up.. I'm thinking to production line the frames, make at least one
for everybody in my group, a couple for my little niece to live in, so
they can quit paying rent, and several different sized versions for
myself, a bigger 24 foot for my main living space, and smaller sizes
for kitchen, workshop, bathroom etc. have the sites leveled, paths
carved and rocked, and trees planted years ago, so my dream of a
little one man village on a mountain will be realized, as I can afford
roofing, build stone floors etc. Guessing it will take several years
on my budget, will start with greenhouse plastic roof on the first
one, then buy painted metal roofing until I get enough.. Use it to
store the other frames in etc. And one by one, create my dream...

guessing a couple years from now will at least have the first one
done, and with the big garden, and roughly a thousand tropical food
trees starting to produce, that some poor woman will decide I'm worth
putting up with.. the economy is going downhill, the grand theives
stealing trillions while a billion people starve.. and soon several
billion...

They will get theirs, its an old cycle, and this time will end with
the Alien arrival that the Bible & Koran are really all about.. if
you read the book of Enoch, part of the dead sea scrolls, available on
line, two good translations at Steve Quayle's site, it explains whats
going to happen to them; they get divided out, and their victims
ordered to cut their throats.. Enough blood to run a river up to a
horse's bridle.. Thats at least millions of greedy liar, killer,
thieves types, all executed at once...

so I dont mind my humble life, and I'm sorry for the bad things I've
done, and I work on becomming a better person... a nearly impossible
job, but its continued trying that counts...

the way I see it, is if I got all my own trips in proper order, and
died of old age the next day, I will at least finish up OK....
Something that started years ago with abuse and insanity in the insane
culture we know as normal..

anyway, the sun is up, and I need to go post this...

have a good day, prepare for whats coming, get out of the system, and
work on yourself diligently..
All worthy goals... Much better than the Orgy of Lusts we've been
unknowingly led into by the TV and it's slick talking liars and Vanity
dream unreal reality....
