  A farmer that says 'don't stock up' - ?

  Small farmers in rural areas (like Tom) will profit off a SHTF scenario. I'm surprised he would not consider the value of self-protection however.

  Everyone should be growing their own food as well as supporting CSAs. As well as having some safely stored back-up grains and dried beans and cans. And stored water, batteries, battery powered radios and flashlights and candles.

  We're middle-class and already priced out of Whole Foods where we live due to all the other rising costs. And it's only getting worse folks. Self-sufficiency and self-protection. There were 2 3 armed robberies near where I work in the last month, and one was in broad day-light. It's going to get hairy folks. It's good to be smart and well trained. Trained gun-owners actually prevent over a million crimes every year. On More than peak oil or financial crash, I fear angry men armed to the teeth posted 1 year, 6 months ago 31 Responses

  #1 is still important

  I would agree...but it would be foolish to ignore #1. Contemporary 'survivalists' are actively joining CSAs, exploring solar, permaculture, rooftop gardens, traditional skills, alternative medicine, rainwater harvesting, food preservation, and gun training. It's just like anything else.

  Oh btw, this is a poignant article, and this one is simply terrifying

  I sure wish Think Global would put a rush on that U.S. release of the Think City car. Even better? Open-source it to all car companies so they all get crackin'. Think Global won't be able to keep up with demand, that's for effing sure.

  Oh yeah, last thing: Algae for Biodiesel y'all. Use the Algae for carbon-capture - burning it will produce more energy than other biofuels.

  And Nanosolar solar sheets. Cheaper than coal? These are the waves of the future. HURRY THE EFF UP.  

  oh, I'm done. On More than peak oil or financial crash, I fear angry men armed to the teeth posted 1 year, 6 months ago 31 Responses

  where should I start?

  You'll need 1 year supply of grains and staples while you wait for your garden to harvest if you're planting grains, veggies, etc.

  Ever hear of Mother Earth magazine? Perfect blend of survivalist + hippy. You may want to familiarize yourself. Current article is all about Preparedness.

  Btw: kudos to banditrn above. Couldn't agree more. On More than peak oil or financial crash, I fear angry men armed to the teeth posted 1 year, 6 months ago 31 Responses

  Not organic honeybees

  What the mainstream news is not reporting:

  Organic honeybee-keepers are not reporting CCD.

  I was happy to see Costco now offering organic honey in their stores.

  Support your local organic honey provider or get organic honey where you can. On Haagen-Dazs says CCD could interrupt your ice cream fix posted 1 year, 8 months ago 9 Responses
