morning,

 

in town, and have access online..

 

Have been searching alot of things, from bushcraft skills, to archeology sites...

 

on the bushcraft skills, I see alot of mistakes,  and after having lived  some 20 plus years in the brush, the last 16 full time and no day job,

I was able to spot some things..

 

first on my mind, is people carrying things in manners they can be lost,  I see alot of that,  in a survival situation, expedient access to most items,

is not more important than trying not to lose them...  hachets slipped into the outsides of packs, that arent lashed securely are as good as lost after any time

traveling through brush...  nor would I leave a lanyard hanging out to pull an item out of a pocket with, unless that lanyard was tied to the pack etc...

 

I also see alot of price gouging, $400 rucksacks, and $300 small knives... my suggestion is make it yourself....

use the money saved for further upgrades in tools etc..

 

another thing I notice, is no one seems to be thinking about what if the survival situation is open ended?  having bushcraft tools is really just a start...

 

I wouldnt want to live without a full sized axe,  or full sized cooking gear, or a brace and bitt, and alot of other things, tools for agriculture etc.....

 

brushcraft is good to know, it is good to have a collection of fundamental and smaller tools,  but there comes a time one might like to do more than live under a lean-to shelter, and look for bugs...

 

And that next step is something I have been thinking about for years...  and is part of what got me thinking in neoindigenous terms..

 

so what do you do as a post collapse refugee? hang out in the lean-to, or start using ambient resources to improve your life one step at a time?

 

I notice the archeologists have missed some logic, they have our ansestors mixing daub for plastering housing in pits doing heavy labor...

 

meanwhile a few feet away in the animal yard, the cattle have been doing the same mix of clay,manure, straw, hair, etc., all year long...

 

what would you do? spend days mixing up special daub in large quantities, or just go mine the barnyard?

 

see how scientists are?

 

I have also been researching hillforts, and have learned alot... like that they were a predominant lifestyle for much of humanity for thousands of years, and that the ditches were up to 30 feet deep and straight sided, what we see today is muchly filled in...

 

what that means, is the defenses of the inhabitants were much better than we might imagine.. allowing for a life not requiring taxation to support a force of doughnut eaters in patrol cars...  basically our early ansestors could have done rotating watches,  and everyone could have slept safer than in an urban city in the technocult...

 

I suspect from what I have seen, that stone and iron age humans had a better life than modern man has in real terms, community instead of vanity...

 

I also watched some homeless community videos...  and heard people discussing the same things I have realized getting out of the techno cult... truth is universal...

 

now on towards my point;  when do camp improvements using ambient resources change into community or faamily farmsteads, and how do you get there?

 

well this is why I was searching the hillforts and archetecture of prehistoric times, to see if what I have thought about was correct...  that one would begin building with stone and clay mortar, poles and split rails, and some sort of thatch or split shingles... and one would build food storage granarys etc..

 

my point being, that if you are just thinking to bushcraft, and stopping there,  you are losing the opportunity to have a longer range plan.. and if your tools dont include pickhoes, wheelbarrows, axes, etc. you may have to rediscover how your stone age relatives did things minus the cheap and available now tools...

 

I see the past as a mine of skills and knowlege for the future and what is coming....

 

and in fact, given the time and opportunity I will head that direction,  just as I have been doing without really knowing it...

 

if I have some luck in economics, good chance I will turn it into decent housing etc.  but limit myself to neoindigenous,  ie build with stone etc., and also work towards simple fortification at every opportunity...

 

I also ran into a foto searching images; german hill forts, of one that had been used as a missile launching test site, and had been heavily bombed by the allies..

to little effect... while a fancy castle would have been rubbled...

 

so its the earthworks fortifications that could be just a starting point for one's landscaping,  could help protect you and yours even from serious destruction, not to mention raiders who are at the present time arrogant reality denyers....

 

so I make a suggestion; that you think about what I am saying, do some searching yourself, and at least get a concept of what it should look like, so you know how to get there...

 

personally, if I can, I will use modern machinery to do major amounts of excavation... and in the interim,  any dirt work I do will head the direction I now can envision very clearly....

 

its a fun hobby being a  prepper type,  and gives me an opportunity to be creative... not to mention live outside of the modern credit slavery paradigm...

 

and if I am wrong about the future, at least I have had fun, and if I am right, at least I will be well prepared and maybe even able to thrive and help others...

 

I also searched stone age agriculture videos and watched a few... and learned some things...

 

Anyway, what I seem to have personally, is a now rare level of experience living in the brush, and that most of the popular experts are either holding down day jobs, or are rich kid types doing things they get to go back to the upscale life from afterwards...

 

both of those groups have taught me things, but I think I could teach them alot also...

 

personally I would never consider a permanent day job,  or a ranch style house, or make myself a slave of my own materialistic desires....

 

nor join up with a woman who thought I should go there for her...

 

anyway, my point is, that people need to combine the bushcraft, stone age landscaping and construction, agriculture, and homelessness into a unified concept, and not hang out in one form of Babylon or another until too late...

 

G! 

 

16/11/11

morning,

 

staying in town at the moment, for a few days, playing stand in father..

 

for a bunch of girls who havnt had a good example of male influence..

making progress, but its slow and difficult..  but I do know how to get results...

 

anyway, have been learning the ropes some on line,  watching you tube videos in my areas of interests, and learning what the norm is on planet..

 

I see that there are alot of people getting into minimalistic camping, called "bushcraft",  and its got a community going, thats international in scope and non racial etc.

People are learning skills.. making their own gear, and doing it with one of the desired criteria being low cost...

 

and then going out into the woods and mountains to learn and practice there...

 

after which they report on line to others...  this is really important and good..  even city people are involved, and working on gear and projects in their appartments,  and then finding their local wild

areas for the putting in practice part...   sure alot better than watching TV 24 hours a day, and thinking life is being rich enough to dance all the time...

 

truth is, primitive cultures have more and better liesure time...

 

I have been showing the girls and their mother things online, and getting them to grasp that its fun to camp out, work in the garden, and make things that are pretty and useful with their own hands...

 

My girlfriend got really excited watching some of the bushcraft videos, gardening stuff etc...

 

freedom is in the hills and deserts and wild places...

 

and she instantly realized that I was way ahead of the curve, and she wants to start doing videos for you tube of the stuff I do, and the skills and  concepts I have to teach...

 

So I am using the internet as a resource to aid in reprogramming a small tribe of females,  and getting them out into the brush, in a culture where women never camp...

 

Part of why it works well, is they see its fun and not something abnormal.. that the rest of the world does it...

 

these last few days, have been teaching them how to do yeast breads in the casa..  and that they can have ten times more bread for the same money, as buying it in the corner store.. and also that is twice the nutrition of rice...

 

got one daughter making a batch of bread alone today, they went thru five pounds yesterday...  she's jazzed, because she got to take bread to school last night, that she made herself..

 

it created a bit of a stir..

 

as home bread making is a lost art in this culture of tortillas...   people buy all their breads, and think you have to go to school or something to be able to bake....

 

So it was quite the shock for all the teachers and students to try home made yeast breads...  also the boughten breads here tend to be dry and tasteless, and mostly air.. 

 

so fresh yeast bread got their attention...

 

anyway, shes doing fine on her bread alone today...  likely be baking this afternoon, and have hot bread for mom when she comes home from work...

 

and the girls do love the bread...  its not an everyday thing, in a house with 5 females living off one third world income....

also I have an objective,  that when I take them into the brush, that they already have a repretoir of skills...  my guess is theyll burn some bread learning to cook over wood fires...

 

I also will start doing some projects in front of them, making outdoor gear etc. here in town...  they will like that.. seeing me turn available resources into pretty things with serious utility value..

 

I am also thinking of projects that I can do videos of, I see some things that are missing in the bushcraft video world....

 

and I really want to do my best to assist the city people types to learn and do...

 

this is important in whats coming...   and when the shit hits, they will set off with their packs, whistling a tune, happy they dont have to be slaves anymore...

 

anyway, the best info is searched at the word bushcraft...  and there one can learn that you dont need or want snob camping gear..

 

so anyway, Im feeling good, see some hope for more people...

 

its like I told an indigenous friend in front of a bunch of latins, that when the shit hit,  from then on, we were all going to be indigenous....

it got some shocked looks from the Ticos, as they think indigenous people are second class humans and treat them accordingly....

 

so, it will make my job alot easier to rewild some girls...  the videos are breaking down their culturally induced resistances...

 

anyway, if you want to survive, and or are tired of playing your unpleasant part in the white slavery reality..  work on your gear and skills,  and go try them out... start small, a couple days in the brush, play with your hobby,  and get really good, so when the collapse comes, you can help others....

 

have a good day, and look forward to becoming a better human..

 

G!

morning,

 

in town, will be heading back into the brush tomorrow..

looking forward to the tranquility and being able to do my things..

 

also packing some survival loot from the technocult..  a few items...

will be nice to have the plastic buckets..   thinking to start buying plastic tool boxes next trip to Panama,

want to get things as organized as possible, so I can have more breathing room in my shelter..

 

one thing at a time relentlessly working towards my preparedness goals..

 

and will start working on stuff to build a fire piston,  and be able to light fires on days too cloudy for a lens, or even at night..

will be fun to play around with, and learn the skills, and work on some new habits, keeping dry tinder etc.. will take me a big step farther from reliance on the technocult,  with something that will fit into my refugee kit...

 

thinking I have a long 3/8's stainless bolt in my stash, to use for the piston, will have to wait a couple of weeks until next town trip, to look for some copper tubing to fit, and an O ring..  then  will make a wooden shaft to fit the tube into..  also thinking to do a brass wire bail as a keeper for the plunger, and will do some kind of lanyard attachment point for the whole device..  I like to tie my survival stuff as much as possible to the bags etc..  so it doesnt get lost in a tumble.. or fall out of a pocket..

 

when I can find the stuff, will likely make several smaller units,  and scatter them around in things like my bow quiver, maybe do a downsized version to go on key chain... so that the chances of having one at any given time are increased..

 

I have a stainless can for tinder..  will likely put the charred cloth into a plastic bag inside of it, due to the ambient humidity of the rain forest..

in the smaller kits use a plastic bottle perhaps.. here one has to be very careful keeping things dry, even the bakelite handles of kitchen knives will grow fungus... 

 

as do the rubber handles on tools etc..

 

also hoping to afford more nylon cord next month, to do some more heavy duty net bags, and to work on my wooden back back frame..  for lacing, and doing a net bag, so I can just stuff things into it..

 

tired of busted zippers on packs.. they look good but last a year at most of regular use..

Im afraid alot of survivalist types are going  be hauling their stuff in their bedraggled sleeping bags in short order...

 

fast downhill trip on yuppie gear..

 

well, I need to go take a bath, and put more bread in the oven, likely a couple weeks until next blog posting....

 

have a good day who ever you are..

 

 

 

 

18/10/2011

Afternoon,

in town,  just did a border cross a few days ago...

 

still having probs with the infection,  but using hexoclorophene for mouth wash.... and has stopped most of it... 

 

anyway, have been teaching a small tribe of girls how to bake yeast breads and today cinnamon rolls..  people who had never had a real cinnamon roll in their lives.....

 

Have been doing alot of searching on line for small scale agriculture machinery,  we are about to boot the farm considerably in the next couple years, with first priority being food security for ourselves,  and survival food stashes,  and after that use the excesses as a business...

 

the business model is a two sided thing...  with an eye to whats coming...

 

why not?  better than holding down a job and being afraid to leave it.....

 

and the cinnamon rolls are part of the plan....  soon to be selling in a market thats never tried them...  might do OK eh?

 

also bought a few items in Panama,  found 22 inch rula style machetes, not available in costa rica...

 

nice size for gardening...

 

I was reading awhile back online and ran into a thread on swords versus machetes as weapons...  guys, survival heads,  arguing over which is better..

 

Well,  let me say this about that:   swords quit evolving much maybe a hundred years ago..  made obsolete by the revolver etc...  

 

Or did they?   if you search rula machetes, or try imacasa.com  you can see images of a rather strange machete virtually unknown in the US market...

it has a narrow blade,  and comes in lengths up to 28 inches....   if you study the images, and you have any background in swords,  you will realize its basically a backsword...  differences being a wider blade...  the blade is also thinner...   basically this IS the continued evolution of the sword..  improvements in spring steel manufacture allowed the use of much  thinner stock,  i.e. a much faster lighter sword...  and the width of blade does nothing to hurt its effectiveness..

 

the sword operates on the physics principle of the inclined plane or wedge...  the thinner the wedge,  the sharper it can be...

 

so a sword thats say a 16th of an inch thick,  can cut much more effectively than one an eighth thick...   it can also travel thru the air much faster, and is lighter and takes less muscle to wield...  basically a guy with a rula could cut a man with a heavier sword to shreds...   with little chance of being blocked as with heavier slower blades...  due to blade being able to move faster than the human eye can follow...

 

I wouldnt even consider a historic sword in comparison...

 

and here in central america, you can buy the rulas for $5 or less any where theres a hardware store....

 

the steel is hard enough that it will just barely file...

 

and its flexible enough you can bend it as far as you dare....  its serious spring steel, not some immitation "stuff" from india, that wont hold an edge like it will hold a bend....

 

 

Ive used alot of machete steel..  its good stuff...  very seldom break them.. even cutting serious tropical hardwoods...   and the locals use them on larger trees, I have seen latins cut down trees over two feet thru, with machetes, with the blade "ribboning" between strokes due to its flexiblility...

 

try that with your immitation historic sword....

 

basically what it amounts to, is the rula is the height to date for a slashing sword.  and after you use them down a bit they tend to get very pointy...

 

they are also ubiquitous...   dont elicit much notice...   and if you want to practice,  just find a brush patch in need of clean up....  

 

reason I mention this, is I realized something about the bible and swords...  lets assume I am correct on my overview, book of Enoch etc...

basically the aliens running the test,  are of some kind of militaristic culture,  i.e. Jehova of Arimies.....

 

OK,  Jesus said if you dont have a sword to sell your robe and get one...  strange statement for the prince of peace..

 

but recently heard a passage that might explain some...   in the bible,  old testament I think, and it was that  the last of the reptoids were going to be finished off with the sword..

 

connect this to the cutting of necks in the book of enoch....   ie it answers the question I have had about it being done with expedient pocket knives, or swords, axes, etc....   and considering the descriptions of depth of blood from the event being up to a horses bridle,  it would take alot of swords, and I wondered if the aliens were going to supply swords or box cutters or something, as the way its written in Enoch, they are going to order the suvivors they like to cut the necks of those who fail the final tests, ie did you do anything for those at the very bottom of the pile of greedy self centered humanity..   JC himself explains this one, and that the losers will be led off to be cut off into eternal darkness...  connect with Enoch..

 

anyway on towards my point;  that JC is sked to be appointed ViceRoy of this planet,  comander in chief big time,  rule with an Iron rod, and all that..

 

so all the Christains who read the sword passage and think it justifys an AK-47 or an AR clone,  may in fact be considered to be disobeying a direct order...

 

nothing a military mind hates more,  than troops who think they know better than their leaders....

 

if I am told to get a sword,  a sword I will get, and the very best one I can...  doesnt need  to be spendy or fancy looking,   needs to be a good sword, not a fake,  and in my book,  a rula would make a much better issue battle sword than anything in the catalogs of the self professed experts of a dead art...

 

old chinese saying,  that those who speak, do not know, and those who know do not speak...

 

the real experts with blades  in modern times are guys who work in the brush and jungles with blades every day, all day long, clearing acres, planting food etc., with nothing but a machete...   and they have the muscles and skills to prove it...  if you ever come to central america,  observe the men, you can tell a campesino from a town dweller in a quick glance..   the  country guys are gnarly...  and the tool they use most is the common machete, and most prefered for serious work are the longer rulas...  and many of them can clear an acre or more in a day....   you try that....

 

in battle,  its not a 30 second thing, goes on until only guys from one side or the other are left standiing...  and its not a place for a purist thrusting weapon...

 

Id much rather be on the side of gnarly campesinos than city types with ornate relics...  

 

now to point...  if this is all a big test,  following orders might carry some points with it...  and following that order might be what shifted the balance enough to put a sinner on the side of the cutters, rather than the cuttees...  and a humble blade that was of better practical use would be more respected than a historic dinosaur blade, who's design and materials enhancement stopped a hundred years ago, or that was impractical in a real battle....

 

and yes, I could design a better sword than a rula, but the rula would be my starting point....

 

and its a sword that anyone can afford...

 

I bought three this week for $3.50 each...  and got the shorter 22 inch and a 24 inch rula, because I was buying them  for use by small women....

 

For myself, I like the  26 and 28 inch rulas..

 

anyway, my point is; that  it might be advisable to have one on hand for everyone in your clan...

 

they are a prime survival tool.. here where its warm all the time, it aint an axe...   if I had to get down to one possession, it would be a rula...  I can grow food, gut fish, or defend myself and my family, and do it very very effectively with that one single device....

 

and do it for next to nothing, and carry the thing full time in my hands if need be...  and here in central america, they are the weapon of choice killing snakes..

 

most of which are extremely toxic.. they also leap, yes, large snakes eight feet or so long at times, that can leap more than their body length...

 

hope you are really really good with your shovel....

 

so...   they might be considered the appropriate tool to rid the planet of two legged snakes..

 

and for a final point, there is a guy in Ciudad Neily who begs on the street..   he sits on the sidewalk with his plastic cup..  he has a leg thats had exposed flesh for most of my years here, you can see the meat any day of the week you happen by....   he got bit by a local snake..  once years ago.. and went from a working man to being handicapped for life in half a second....

 

I went past him a couple days ago, on the way to buy art supplies for a young girl, on the way back,  the change went into his cup, and I heard him say thankyou as I kept walking...   there but for the grace of God sit I......  I live in the brush,  toxic snakes are a part of my life..  and there is no shortage here...

 

anyway, do search rula machetes,  and if you are really serious about edged weapons or following orders exactly,  get one...

 

G!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8 September 2011

afternoon, 

have  computer  access for  the  first time in awhile, my  fone went bad, so limited now on ablility to blog..

 

have been listening  to  short  wave, things  getting  worse,  I dont expect things to get any better until after

alien arrival, as per book of  Enoch..  down hill trip folks,  gold isnt going to  save your butts, nor is money an any form..

I've realized for a long time the  connections in bible between money and "luck" in  whats coming, basically it boils down

to the more into or  connected to money, the  less are your chances of survival, and also it  will likely be a criteria when its time to decide

who gets their necks cut and who gets to  do the  cutting..

 

heard the  other night on short wave, an expose'  on money related stuff in the  bible, and it  was  very obvious that there is a

definite connection..  basically if you are into the  money system, you are guilty of its damages..  everything I heard backed this  up, and more...

 

so my  advice to  those capable of real thinking, is  to start vectoring away from the  use of  money until you get to absolute zero..

 

Getting  out of Babylon includes the  money  system,  and  I believe this is in  fact the  nexus, or  focal point,  that your  chances of keeping  your 

neck intact are in direct proportion to  your  involvement with  the  money  system..  and  that money, or  gold  hoarded will be looked upon as  unused potential to  help others, or to prepare for whats coming..   

 

just as I have suspected...

 

I am  currently in dire straits over un cared for dental problems, had two teeth pulled, do to extreme infection,  seems to be a very antibiotic resistant bacteria,  have had a dozen

bottles of  IV antibiotics administered, and the infection keeps coming back..  if  it  was  post  collapse,  I'd be dead as of last week..  and  not  sure I  will survive this even now..

 

so  please take care of any dental problems you have now, before the  collapse hits, and also I  suggest that you stockpile antibiotics anyway possible, for  yourself and  family and  others..

 

and  do it  in quantity and  in  quality..   much  better  a  pile of antibiotics, than a stack of gold or silver coins, that will be  worthless when there is nothing  to  buy...

 

Some economists are predicting the collapse in three to six months, others giving about  three years, until in deflationary depression...   if you are money dependant, best you get your  trip together now for living without it, even if that  requires going neonomadic...  time is  going to  be the most critical factor, that and realizing the  truth about whats

coming in time to do something about it in your own lives...   The Bankers are smugly assured that their plan for world government will work if they get everyone enough

afraid..  i  dont  think it  will work out that good for them. or  for  those who suck up their lies...

 

world war three will be the eventual result..  which they think  they can easily survive,  and they arent aware of the eventual alien arrival, or that anything could go wrong

with  their  schemes...  unfortunately for  them too many people  now  understand the connections, and whats coming...

 

Time is  running  out, and if  youre thinking anything but getting out, or preparedness, youre a bigger fool than I am....

 

time to  do some  serious rethinking of  yourself..   time to exit Babylon on the  run...   time to prepare to help others.. anything else is suicide of one form

or another..  

 

I'm  doing  what I can,  even today giving a stealth sermon to neighbors at the  bus stop on the  way to town.. 

trying to get them to plant more food and  not to believe in the  money system...  have one local guy starting to think really good...  and others  starting to actually listen..

not an  easy accomplishment in a land where nothing bad has ever happened...

 

I also hear Chuck Norris has come out in public, trying to get people to wake up..  good man..  now do your part.

 

prepare for  the absolute worst case scenario..  and maybe you  can squeeze by, maybe.. no guarantees of  anything from now on...

and  remember; the ultimate criteria for not having your neck cut, will be did you help others, especially those most in need, and  not  just  family and  friends...

 

anyway,  likely will be at  the dentist's tomorrow,  and find out how things are going in real terms, and what to do next about the  resistant infection...going to be another tight month at  best, for the thin wallet..   but, if I can beat the infection, and continue to struggle towards preparedness, i will be very thankful..

 

When you live very low for a long time, what you learn, is  how little you actually really need to keep breathing..   best to run a  tight ship,  and be prepared for the  storms coming over the horizon...  and I hope that this blog has helped some,  I write as always from the point of view that if what I've posted here helps even one person, its was more

than worth all the time spent trying to teach what I've figured out by being slightly ahead of the curve.. 

 

so,  my  personal struggle continues,  every month I try to do things to prepare..  I have no desire for wealth, or  fame, just want to make a better world however possible,

and have realized that everything we take for normal is incredibly twisted..

 

all connected to the love of money, and our innate egocentric natures... 

 

anyway,  other emails to write..

 

good luck!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Continued;.............

I also taught myself flint knapping, favorite tool is a railroad spike
& a hunk of tire rubber.. I've worked Obsidian, and produced points
that collectors flat refused to believe I did myself in 15 minutes...
I generally make points out of glass... Coke bottle bottoms & TV tube
glass are my favorites... No shortage of those resources anywhere on
the planet... I make steel tips too... like to use lace into a slot
method, with monofiliment fishing line, and then coat with epoxy
resin... aint comin' apart... and used up machete steel is just
right for broadheads... easy enough to cut out with a thin abrasive
wheel.. And I could do it in my fire pit with red steel and a hot set
type chisel, then retemper.. I know the art well... blacksmithing is
a personal hobby... Starting with flat stock means all I have to do is
cut out, temper & sharpen.. Yup! A country boy can survive...
especially if he's not too caught up in the wizzmo-gizmo culture...

how did I learn all my skills? decided I was more interested in
hobbys than watching TV... TV watchers are going to have bad stats in
whats coming...

anyway, my worker commented the other day that I had food growing
everywhere... yup! My original vision was to create a garden of
Eden... its been a fun hobby, dont own any freeze dried food... no
gold other than a couple pieces of jewlery..

not much caught up in money... it could disappear tomorrow & I'd
adapt almost instantly... have gone for years on end barefoot in the
jungle.. my favorite way to eat fish is raw.. Sushi, Cevechi, etc..

Also made another Neoindigenous discovery;

cooking wood; always a problem in the wet season in the tropics when
your shelter repretoir doesnt include a wood shed... what I figured
out, was the easy way to do it, was to peel a tree, and let it die
standing.. pretty soon limbs start falling... nice dry wood...
eventually I cut the trunk down and burn it too, and then plant a food
tree where the original tree was... and so slowly evolve my
surrounding area into food security... dont need a wood shed, if
youre not too good to burn sticks, or chop up larger limbs & trunk...
wouldnt work in wet northern climates like the Pacific north west, but
here the evaporation rate is high enough that standing dead wood is
generally dry enough to burn... I have several trees peeled ahead..
More to peel, and what land I have that isnt in fruit, is in forest
now, it was all pasture filled with scrub brush when I bought it...
the locals thought I was crazy for letting the brush grow.. They were
all shifting to gas or electric stoves at the time... wasnt long
though until wood cooking "Fugons" started appearing behind houses..
They discovered gas & electricity to be expensive... so its kind of
funny to see nice stoves in kitchens, and the mom behind the house,
poking sticks into the traditional fugon, under a small sheet metal
roof... People in towns cant do that, no fuel source..

trapped like rats by their desire to be closer to money sources...

I have an unlimited supply of cooking fuel.... unlimited supply of
water, and more land than my descendants will need for generations...

I'm just as agile as I was in my 20's, just as healthy..

I worry about whats coming, not for myself, I'm better prepared than
most of humanity...

for the last couple years I've been collecting the ocasional pocket
knife.. Not easy on a micro budget, but have managed to get some nice
pocket knives of several different types... why?
Because I suspect a pocket knife is the brush rat's most used tool,
and having several different types means I have knives for specific
uses... I've high graded whats come past... also because pocket
knives make sense for the refugee... minimalistic, no need of sheath
etc... I lanyardize every thing, learned as a kid that I never lost
a lanyarded knife...

I lanyardize sheath knives too..

I also drill the handles of garden tools & axes etc. so that they can
be tied thru a hole to pack saddle etc... hard to lose something tied
thru a hole... an axe etc. Might catch on a limb and slip out and be
lost if not tied thru a hole...

well, the woman thats been after me seems to be serious... she's
losing 30 pounds at the moment... nice lady, a nurse at a local
hospital, had five daughters, single mom, three adopted.. On a third
world income.. One daughter just left home this week, another two will
follow in the next couple of years.. last two will be awhile... But I
like kids...

the woman was raised on a farm, but got caught up in the money trap...
went thru several shades of hades in her life... has realized in
town isnt a good life... and knows having a guy is a good idea these
days... wants to grow food again... Live with some space... likes
animals.. and with her being "chaser" & me being "chasee" I got to
set my price... no bullshit, no games, with the requirement of
constant struggle on her part to be a good wife in MY opinion, not
hers... she's 16 years younger than I am... ten years older than my
number one son... so I suspect my years of living alone to be drawing
towards an end... I've been living alone for most of 18 years....

She's had a thing for me for years.. Offended me once years ago... I
like her for who she is.. She's at the same point...

anyway, I need to go take my last rinse of the day in the spring, and
butcher that pineapple... Yumm!

where did I go wrong?

its a humble life, but a good one....
Why does everyone like the Tarzan dream?
Because its sanity. it is do-able, it is better than being a rainbow
niggeroo... funny how what goes around, comes around... most of the
slaves are white people now.. black people at least werent
volunteers.... they werent that stupid back then, they knew they had
it good... my only crit of black people, is theyre too white on the
inside now... Like their old slang term: "Oreo" i.e. Black on the
outside, white on the inside... like an Oreo cookie... well, how
bout "Oreos on steroids"? you black folk really need to get back to
the land, go back to agriculture, rewild yourselves some... Get away
from the cities, the drugs, the dependence on whitey's technocult...
alot of you are some incredibly decent folks, time to do what it
takes and regraft onto your old "real" roots... Not some TV movie, to
pump you up, while youre still effectively slaves by other means...

If you want to be my neighbor, 'hope you like gardening & fishing...
And that the kids like horses etc... we'd do fine... The playing
field has been leveled quite a bit lately... the uppitys have come
down some...

humble people are an asset anywhere...

Continued;.............

I also taught myself flint knapping, favorite tool is a railroad spike
& a hunk of tire rubber.. I've worked Obsidian, and produced points
that collectors flat refused to believe I did myself in 15 minutes...
I generally make points out of glass... Coke bottle bottoms & TV tube
glass are my favorites... No shortage of those resources anywhere on
the planet... I make steel tips too... like to use lace into a slot
method, with monofiliment fishing line, and then coat with epoxy
resin... aint comin' apart... and used up machete steel is just
right for broadheads... easy enough to cut out with a thin abrasive
wheel.. And I could do it in my fire pit with red steel and a hot set
type chisel, then retemper.. I know the art well... blacksmithing is
a personal hobby... Starting with flat stock means all I have to do is
cut out, temper & sharpen.. Yup! A country boy can survive...
especially if he's not too caught up in the wizzmo-gizmo culture...

how did I learn all my skills? decided I was more interested in
hobbys than watching TV... TV watchers are going to have bad stats in
whats coming...

anyway, my worker commented the other day that I had food growing
everywhere... yup! My original vision was to create a garden of
Eden... its been a fun hobby, dont own any freeze dried food... no
gold other than a couple pieces of jewlery..

not much caught up in money... it could disappear tomorrow & I'd
adapt almost instantly... have gone for years on end barefoot in the
jungle.. my favorite way to eat fish is raw.. Sushi, Cevechi, etc..

Also made another Neoindigenous discovery;

cooking wood; always a problem in the wet season in the tropics when
your shelter repretoir doesnt include a wood shed... what I figured
out, was the easy way to do it, was to peel a tree, and let it die
standing.. pretty soon limbs start falling... nice dry wood...
eventually I cut the trunk down and burn it too, and then plant a food
tree where the original tree was... and so slowly evolve my
surrounding area into food security... dont need a wood shed, if
youre not too good to burn sticks, or chop up larger limbs & trunk...
wouldnt work in wet northern climates like the Pacific north west, but
here the evaporation rate is high enough that standing dead wood is
generally dry enough to burn... I have several trees peeled ahead..
More to peel, and what land I have that isnt in fruit, is in forest
now, it was all pasture filled with scrub brush when I bought it...
the locals thought I was crazy for letting the brush grow.. They were
all shifting to gas or electric stoves at the time... wasnt long
though until wood cooking "Fugons" started appearing behind houses..
They discovered gas & electricity to be expensive... so its kind of
funny to see nice stoves in kitchens, and the mom behind the house,
poking sticks into the traditional fugon, under a small sheet metal
roof... People in towns cant do that, no fuel source..

trapped like rats by their desire to be closer to money sources...

I have an unlimited supply of cooking fuel.... unlimited supply of
water, and more land than my descendants will need for generations...

I'm just as agile as I was in my 20's, just as healthy..

I worry about whats coming, not for myself, I'm better prepared than
most of humanity...

for the last couple years I've been collecting the ocasional pocket
knife.. Not easy on a micro budget, but have managed to get some nice
pocket knives of several different types... why?
Because I suspect a pocket knife is the brush rat's most used tool,
and having several different types means I have knives for specific
uses... I've high graded whats come past... also because pocket
knives make sense for the refugee... minimalistic, no need of sheath
etc... I lanyardize every thing, learned as a kid that I never lost
a lanyarded knife...

I lanyardize sheath knives too..

I also drill the handles of garden tools & axes etc. so that they can
be tied thru a hole to pack saddle etc... hard to lose something tied
thru a hole... an axe etc. Might catch on a limb and slip out and be
