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....

Love & Money.......

Good morning..

made a mental connection this morning, and realized that love and
money are effectively a dichotomy pair...

love is necesity, or a form thereof.. When you are in love you have an
emotional necessity for the other person..

other forms of necessity also connect in...

but in modern culture, money has become a replacement for love.

an example might be all the women who are money hungry, and pick guys
for money, only to find out later its a low calorie replacement for
what their heart needs, and if he has money, he doesnt really need
her, as theres no shortage of other money hungry types if she isnt
being cooperative.

another example might be parents and children..

in pre money cultures they need each other throughout their entire lives...

the children need their parents from breast feeding until their parents die...

the latter end for their knowlege and wisdom, and help shelling the
corn, and keeping sticks poked into the fire so the grandchildren stay
warm and fed.

the children also need the parents for land and housing, and the fruit
and food trees they planted, and the gardens they built, and the
crafts they teach, and the things they made with their hands, that in
modern times we buy cheap mass produced immitations of...

and the parents need the children in their old age for security and to
be there for them in illness or disability...

in other words a harmony...

now consider modern times...

why are my children decadent, and why dont they need me?

well because they think with money the can get what ever they need,
and never are required to consider the effects on me.

and why are modern parents so fond of kicking the kids out of the home at 18?
Well because they have a retirement, i.e. Money, and think they dont
need them...

and it gets worse...

why are there so many homosexuals?

well in part because even the sexes have come to think they dont
really need each other..

OK, lets think about whats happening now...

money is losing value due to corruption in high places.. This is an old cycle..

"Why is there poverty? Because the rulers eat up all the money in
taxes." (Tao Te Ching)

and Jesus described the love of money as being the root of all evil...
I think he was spot on there..

so analyze whats happening now with the economy... Money is going downhill..

and you have two choices; chase it harder, or find your hearts..

in pre money culture the village must have operated off of love..
people's affection and need for each other.. A far cry from the modern
impersonal city that runs on money and sex...

when the economy crashes, it's natural replacement is love...

people using their hearts, and helping each other..

finding their hearts....

will it happen equally everywhere at once?

I dont think so... different kinds of people live in different kinds
of places...
And as money declines, in the cities it wont be love thats it's
predominant replacement, it will be hate...

People blamining each other for the problems they created
collectively with their love of money...

races will be blaming each other, married couples?
What are they fighting about these days? money....

poor will be blaming the rich & vice versa...

its a pressure cooker.. And when the lid comes off, it will be
exceedingly ugly..

in the countryside, less reliance on money, and as it declines, more
reliance on each other... a good neighbor is worth more, than a
greedy arrogant family member in the city by far...

also, as money declines, women and men should begin to find need of
each other again, if they have any heart left, & arent totally
corrupted mentally by the money system...

so we are approaching a water shed social event..
and its made up of an array of dichotomy pairs based around love & money..

those with hearts will find each other, and those with brains will get
out of the cities in time any way possible..

those who stay will get genetically edited, when the conflagration
goes nuclear...

interestingly, this is exactly what the bible talks about.. Just we
have Pastors after money and talking love..

and not connecting the dots, and teaching the truth...

they dont understand the truth, wouldnt know it if it fell on them
from the sky...

which it will, when the arrival happens, and those who set up
experiment Earth, come to collect and clean up the results...

my advice? same as always; get out of Babylon, get rid of baggage,
get neoindigenous etc.

and I might add; start thinking more from your heart, than from your
wallet... because the wallet is producing a definite sucking sound..

the replacement for money is love.. The remedy for collapse is a
return to what's wholesome...

and it aint happening in the city of the big lie....

anyway.. Think about the love and money dichotomy.. I will be... It's
obvious to me that its very important...
