and of course surfing, seeing its Easter Holiday and there is JACK SHIT open in this little burg of a town.
There seems to be a growing number of people that are seriously looking for ways to go into an underground economy. My mention of the distillation of FUEL and all of a sudden, my comments are rolling, my email is rolling and I have offers of start up capitol etc etc etc. Even the discussion with Tom on ‘why all the copper’ brought in a couple of emails from some that would rather remain anon.
SO I got’s ta thinkin’. Craig has his bootleg oxygen thing, soon will have the piggy perch runs. I am looking into Sheetmetal fabrication (and several other facets of the metal world to work with: foundry, machining, sheet, welding, etc etc) in addition to the other skills I have used to keep afloat in times of need.(wrenching, some IT work, Sound, etc) Others within a small group have excellent skills in other areas.
Damn, sounds like a tribe of “Git’er Done!”. And we are only a handful of those that like the idea of freedom to do those things. And for some fucked up reason, the Administration and all of the sub-departments, don’t like that!! Hmmm, Seems my grandma told me once that someone that would stomp on you is only jealous of your aptitude. and THAT, got’s me ta thinkin’.
Just what can those people do, collectively, if suddenly they found their livelihoods were no longer viable? Just what would happen to those people when they suddenly found out that the corpse that supports their parasitic lifestyle was down to the bone with no meat left? Do you think they would TRY to find some other method of getting along or would they try to find another host body to infest?
And how many of them would try to CREATE that host from the remainder of the populace?
Our battle space is not limited to just a few power players. The armies massed against Freedom are many and quite large. We can break them down into , TPTB, The FSA, and FREEFOR, but really, there are many more out there, Even the larger groups are made up of individuals whom share many traits with us, even if they don’t side with our “LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE” mentality.
And there are stories floating around of instigation, or at least POSSIBLE instigation going on. I am reading them and find them to be completely suspect in Timing, and Content. So there may be something there showing intent. But it does not show intent from WHOM. Keep that in mind. There are parties within this country, on both sides of the issue, not just in the government, that would revel in a race war on our soil. Keep an open mind when reading these reports and watch how the MSM’s play the blame game to get a feel for just what side is trying hardest.
I don’t even want to get into the middle of it seeing how I have been warning of this scenario, or possible derivatives of it for some time now. All that this needs is for some jackass in power to throw a little gasoline on what is already smouldering. (and i have stated that the can of gas will come AFTER Nov 6th)
So, back to that “Git’er Done” tribe. How many people do you know, and what ‘extra’ skills do they bring to the table? Does your group have the ability to take an area, and make it self sustaining? These are thoughts that should be apart of every Bug out/in plan. Even if you don’t have ALL the required skill sets available, there are work arounds and creative FREE people can come up with solutions, that may not be the best but will work.
I see the build up of a tribe in progress, and I am encouraged by the future. Things are only going to get worse, the only question being, at what rate. Getting the tribes built will see us through.







you are doing well so far…
got 4 more blueberry and 2 raspberry planted yesterday. the peach trees made it through the winter but do not look all that happy. the compound is bursting with green and flowers right now.
Pickdog, you got any pear trees or apple trees or grapes at the compound? ….Good deer magnets…
LOL. When I was a kid, my dad and I used to frequent this one area that had an apple orchard on a hilltop, and a cornfield in the valley. Get set up in a stand before the crack of dawn and wait. Once that sun start skidding over the lip of the horizon, it sounded like a damned brigade in full route coming down that hill. One had a pick of whatever was in season, and usually within 15 yards.
Shooting fish in a barrel.
We would only do that once or twice a year because it was TOO easy. No challenge.
Dumb question. Are you planting these in ‘defense’ positions? The raspberry especially. The peach trees not so much. As for them looking ‘pale’ if this is the second year, this year may not be all that much to expect of them. I know the ones in my dads yard didn’t start producing for 3 years, and one took 5 years to start. Give them time.
Nope. Just inside the well fence as I do not want the hogs to eat them. Good to know. I do not expect much for a few years. I should have planted years ago. But it is what it is.
We make do as we can. Hopefully, our progeny will benefit if we do not.
Got a tribe of sorts. Not ideal (I suspect few are), but we can raise food and put holes in things that need holin’. We can build things. I can fabricate/repair stuff. We’ll muddle through on the rest…
and lots of us will have to muddle through in places.
Working on my post now, and is about tribe. (gonna be mean and use your recent event as an example. KIDDING!!!!!)
