LOL...Long after the fact, I had to search a connection to tell you: One good way of raising the mesh off the ground, is to lay used tires flat and put the mesh on top. That is high enough and not much work.
Thanks Ray. Took some pill form vit. C the other day, bad mistake. Sent my body into a bad state for 2 days. Never again. (Ascorbic acid does not equal vitamin C, and the pills flood your body with un-usable elements and who knows what else. Less than 10% of pill vitamins are absorbed, so foods offer much more absorbtion.)
The less is absorbed, the better... I'm nearly ready with my next article in which I have made significant progress in identifying the main cause of most diseases in the last 70 years or more.
In this episode, we present new original research showing that the C19 vaccinated individuals have a fluorescent orange glow of their face that is visible under UV light at 365nm. C19 unvaccinated individuals who have been exposed to shedding have a little of it around their nose. We discuss the filaments that come out of C19 vaccinated individuals body after a hot shower and can be detected with UV light. These behave like Morgellons, an advanced nano-technological artificial synthetic life form. We discuss our research on this phenomenon and my microscopy analysis. ...
China has begun production of robot police. I think the US has also. I guess they can spy with drones to see who's not broadcasting... And then the destruction can begin. Either the people or the crops or both. In the 1950s, Hungary also had a well-established system of forced delivery, where armed soldiers would go out into the villages and take anything that was edible. Anyone who resisted was shot. They didn't care how many children were starving because of them. Since they were already poisoning us, they would show no mercy.
The most "Revolutionary" action independent people can undertake, is to dedicate their daily lives to increasing society's "Self Reliance".
"Guns, Gold, and God" might(?) get you and your family, through the short term? (Your year's supply of goods will probably not last six months?) But, if humanity is to survive and thrive, we need a semi cooperative plan for the long term! This means building a sustainable architecture for everyone.
Many people are "Youtube Experts". They have watched every available video on Survival and Growing Food. But, there is a huge gap between the Theory and the Practice. Thinking that you "Know", but never having done the work is very dangerous!
Self Sustainabilty is a monumental and "Long Term" project: If you don't produce Half your needed food this year, there is zero chance of producing All the food you need next year! Food production gives satisfaction and value. But, be realistic, most of us have no hope of Sustainability. The Project just needs to much preparation and too many material inputs.
First, you need Soil.
Then you need tools and equipment.
And finally, you Need a Knowledge Base suitable for your exact environmental conditions (Contrary to modern wisdom(?) that changes every year.)
So; To reliably produce food for a year, you need to prepare to grow a variety and volume of crops sufficient for atleast two years. There will be surpluses to aid those people who didn't get the message or those who had "Crop Failures Every farmer has crop failures. That is why the most sustainable agriculture is always "Mixed Farming".
Yes communities should work together and share and barter with each other. We do that in my small town and it's awesome. When the local commercial farm has extra food or food that they can't sell to the grocery stores, they share it with the community. We have two community gardens and almost everyone grows their own food if they are able. We have a place where families can pick up fresh produce, bread and forest foraged mushrooms when the season is right after the rain. Like you said, soil is the basis...we nurture our soil. I am starting to turn my orchard into a food forest but first I need to put up some deer fencing and string some barbed wire to keep the bears out the best I can. But I am lucky. Mt sister who lives in the city could never do this, although I have friends who have turned their front and back yards into food forests and have been sustainable....but it takes years.
Wendy; You are so lucky! I'm happy you appreciate that.
"sustainable....but it takes years."...Right.
Sadly, Our situation is more like Ray's: The soil is very poor and the neighbours are mostly mysogenous. I am working on both.....The soil is getting much better, it is harder to "Amend" humans.....D
A tip for animal fencing: Deer can jump over the moon if there is food on the other side. But, if you put any type of mesh horizontally, a few inches off the ground,,,They won't put their feet through the mesh.
Thank you for the tips. I have mesh deer fencing for part of the orchard and wood for other parts. It's the bear who will go through anything if they want those apples or garbage left out. It was suggested to me to pick up local horse manure and se it to build the soil in my food forest. Our soil isn't the best either. We live along a river and 40 miles from the pacific Ocean so very rocky and sandy and clay, as well. But anytime I take out a tan or scrub oak that grew from a seed blowing in, we chip the smaller branches and use it in the compost and spread across the orchard floor. Building the bio-swales is what I am attempting to do now so that the water from the rain is captured where I need it instead of draining off. I moved here 12 years ago from the suburbs and city of southern california and am grateful every day I wake up and look out my window at a mountain of fir and madrone trees and hear the creek rushing to the river this time of year. I am 73 now so nothing is super easy, but as long as I am alive and can still move I want to remain connected to the land.
Weeellll...I'm a year younger than you, and I have not eaten bear meat since I was 15....But :)
We are on Northern Vancouver Island, ir0nrats@pr0t0nmail(dot)com,so there are some similarities. My pauses today are a result of breaking open an overgrown flower garden.....
Thanks to Covid and the internet, we have met so many nice people to replace the ones we lost who don't think as we do??
The common goal of survival does NOT unite people. They turn on each other as soon as their "survival" dictates. Only a shared ideology can unite a group, and the goal must be greater than survival.
Survivalists who don't look at the whole picture, but have only reserves and skills will be the first victims of the mess after STHF.
I'll stick with the first slogan, except I don't believe in gold. Beyond that, I am remaining prepared for your second step. Still, I couldn't trust my next-door neighbor, once his children are starving.
In our place, hardly anything grows that is good for calories. Starving people will hunt down animals in a few weeks, and after that, looting and gangland will begin. Any way I look at it, it's not pretty.
You are right about survival not uniting people. A common ideology must be present or its every man for himself. And we can look at the biosecurity state created around the fear of covid and how it put base biological survival ahead ahead of faith, unity, ahead to love and any kind of freedom and sovereignty.
You are saying exactly what I was: only an ideology that has something more to live for than mere survival can work.
My wife and I have been experimenting with various crops. Potatoes were a complete failure, tomatoes were good. We don't have a lot of room on our lot. Everything has to be protected from the birds, insects, and groundhogs, too, and we don't use pesticides.
Try winter squash, the vines will take up space, but are strong producers of fruit which last pretty much all winter. Butternut, buttercup (tastes better, doesn't last as long), spaghetti.
If not, I will mail you some (NE grown). If you have a sunny fence line, plant along that and the vines will climb (they will also climb your tomatoes, which isn't so great). First year is usually good, once the squash bugs discover them, following years gets harder. I add composted manure every spring. My wife covers the 2 rows of plants in our 4'x24' squash bed with fine bug netting until they flower - which gives the plants a head start and strength enough to have their leaves sucked by the beetles and still produce a good crop of fruit.
The only good crop of potatoes I've ever grown were on bare ground covered by piles of mouldy hay and raw compost. All the rest, like you, have been disasters. Fancy beds, hilled perfectly, potato towers, etc, hardly produced more than planted??
45 gallon "burn barrels" filled to the top with sod, grass clippings, old hay, and kitchen waste, will on average produce 25-50 pounds of tomatoes. They don't take any room! Keep adding soil around the top all summer.
This is why we grow our own veggies and swap with neighbors, seeds and plants and ripe grown food, and only get meat from local farmers who use no hormones and have free range animals..chickens and cows. It is getting really hard to find any cows that haven't had at least one vaccination. Even our local grass fed organic River Valley Farms gives their cows one shot, it might be mandated, not sure...which I am not happy about. Moreover, I live in only one of two counties in California that still bans whole milk. This is purely a financial problem, as the dairy the county's deep invested in went belly up a few decades ago and the Humboldt County powers that be are afraid any law suit would destroy the dairy business that eventually was purchased by a big corporate entity. They are still afraid that bacteria in milk might might people sick. They have no clue that pasteurized is basically worthless
Pasteurization is worse than "Worthless". At the currently mandated temperature of "Pasteurization", an essential health aspect of health values in Milk are destroyed. The temperature used causes the 'Double Cystine' molecule to split, thereby making the formation of Glutathione impossible and leaving the "Milk" useless for promoting immune responses.
Low-heat pasteurization (allegedly) comprises keeping the milk warm at 140F/60C for about three hours. It obviously doesn't destroy everything in milk as UV does, because low-heat pasteurized milk actually goes sour, instead of the bitter mess UV-treated becomes after a while. Still, the milk is certainly not intact even after the less destructive procedure, either.
When billy g hits his shelter, I will help weld the doors shut. Or better yet, weld them shut before the little rat has a chance to get inside. Now, that would be constructive. We are at the point of not being able to trust anything.
I am not so paranoid because I am older and have lived awhile. But my kids and grandkids are going to face a wickedly growing state of dire consequences...maybe. We all thought Russia would blow up the US back in the 1950's and 60's and those fears were unfounded.
We now have to face the fact that there are anti-humans who want to murder us all any way they can. As far as I know, the world's population hasn't peaked just yet, so that tells me these murdering clowns are doing their usual poor job of managing things.
LOL...Long after the fact, I had to search a connection to tell you: One good way of raising the mesh off the ground, is to lay used tires flat and put the mesh on top. That is high enough and not much work.

It is also worth getting straw and spreading it. This video is in Hungarian, but you can see the gist of it.

One must certainly plan ahead.
The common goal of survival does NOT unite people. They turn on each other as soon as their "survival" dictates. Only a shared ideology can unite a group, and the goal must be greater than survival.

That's why I've been usually saying that those who are afraid are dying a thousand deaths...
If you can't Educate or Trust your neighbour', then Educate his children so they don't starve?
"They turn on each other as soon as their "survival" dictates. " Ask the Menonites, Hutterites, and Quakers???
If you want to grow stuff but can't; Let me know the circumstances. I might have some ideas?
Look for an incoming message.
The three children are from 3 to 7.

Right, besides GMO feed, animal "vaccines" and antibiotics are also of grave concern.
Low-heat pasteurized milk actually goes sour. :)
Too bad, it's being phased out. UV kills just about every living organism in milk, making it closer to dishwater than milk...
That and microwaves
Yes, those, too:

It's well beyond the point of no return, and worrying can only petrify people. Gaining time might work, but even that will need a few miracles.
