    coping with rising costs

    This is the pit fall of asking 'why' something is? You will get many opinions based on a persons concept and values, but it boils down to one thing that is a cancer affecting many of us. Greed. There are all sorts of explanations from self proclaimed authorities and we have been conditioned to...

    Thanks. I guess I will be planting a lot more than potatoes and the usual veggie crops this year and will be getting some grain seed before it is all gone.

    What's that old adage? "The best laid plans of mouse and men." I let my better 1/2 do the planning as I really suck at organizational order of things ya know toss it here toss it there. She's the artist and still much better at planning! That's where they messed up, they should of let a women...

    Yep being an off grid prepper, I am always prepped. BUT seriously I do not see that we have or will have some other country actually trying to bomb us or invade since we with 900 bases all over the world and a military budget far greater than any potential foes, unlikely. Besides the civilian...

    That makes sense and I would have thought women only meant just that too.

    Forming an Intentional Community/split

    Cheers LMAOFF ~ Yes agree. Even my own brother warned my sister to not drop in on me without notice, years ago and I have gotten worse with age. I am able to mingle but not a daily event unless you are nature and wildlife and only the Raven's can yap at me at random. The very reason why I have...

    Forming an Intentional Community/split

    Gotta love that. Cooperation does take more effort for us less we are outrunning a predator historically but these days, sigh ??~ well I seriously believe that the more people who wake up from zombie-dumb and loose more and more, there may just be a chance to get through the pearly gates and...

    Forming an Intentional Community/split

    Barefootbadger I always appreciate your input but I think as a species we just got to far from our origin, don't you? I mean had we been so incapable of cooperating we would be not be a species, we would have all ended up in some predators belly, a lion.

    Forming an Intentional Community/split

    It seems having a land base always has things to do or to pitch in on. I spent enough years in work for people that had control issues with wanting things the way they were not naturally as a Gardner, prior the Permaculture trend. I still believe with good honest communication people can create...

    Forming an Intentional Community/split

    I suspect first and foremost something rural off the beaten path since it seems many nomads want to be in nature but I may be wrong ? Let's see if others add in.

    Off topic posts split from "How do u live on $700/month, truly?"

    My impression and findings as well. The idea on convenience society has made a very interesting longitudinal study of it's effects on people over the past 100 years in health/disease status, social economic and not to mention happiness scale. It seems many have paid a very high price for the...

    Cheers scaredycat72, it does not take all that much to live well and be happy aside from the brain washing that many have unknowingly been subjects too. Thanks for you sharing/input.

    Are relationships a trap?/ split from: Relationships started while Traveling Single.....?

    Yeah as I was reading that "trapped commentary" I agree after 28 yrs not at all trapped best those who feel that way avoid relationships.

    Forming an Intentional Community/split

    LOL. Probably because I do not have a clear 'realistic vision yet'. I just have an experience of looking into the 'Communities Directory' 28 years ago and deciding to forego any of those. Prior and after that I have volunteered in various types of groups to always find that someone's egoistic or...
