May I add “Gullible”? “Ignorant”? “Stoopid”?

We’re not off the grid but we can live off the grid. Can you?

Laskowski is taking steps similar to environmentalists: conserving fuel, consuming less, studying global warming, and relying on local produce and craftsmen.

Yeah, good luck with that apocalypse Laskowski.

These people have the LUXURY of living this way. Look at that Post and Beam house! Look at the amount of money tied up in that supply of wood to burn!

Livestock isn’t cheap to raise, except for chickens. I want a milk cow in the worst way, but I can’t afford to feed one. A gallon of milk would cost me upwards of $5 to produce on a small scale. I can still get it for $1.99 at the store. And it’s freezable, so easy to stock up on when on sale.

I’ll stick with my investment strategy (buying gold, silver and lead; as in bullets) and let the chips fall where they may, come The Revolution. :)

She has a good idea.

Nothing wrong to depend on yourself instead of the Gov’t. A self sufficient farm with solar power and food.

Genius.

I live somewhat like that now and am moving farther that direction as time passes. If things go to hell in or out of a handbasket, I will be better off that 99% of the sheeple living in the cities and suburbs. If everything stays rosy, fine. Raising chickens and picking a banjo is what I wanted to do anyway. I like dogs and guns too, so that part of the plan is also a pleasure.

For you sceptics, good luck. I really hope things work out for you.

One could have never imagined that my interest in home-steading would come in handy someday! :) We live on wooded acreage and have most of the necessities (including a pond w/fish) to survive if we had to. I just can't imagine going without a/c in the Texas heat. Sigh. I guess I need to watch a few more episodes of Gilligan's Island.

Seriously tho.... the Y2K scare really gave me pause for thought....because I did learn animal husbandry and how to can/store food.

Gee, around my neck of the woods, knowing how to do alot of these things just means your more self sufficient than most.

You won’t hear any hoots of derision from me, directed at people who are attempting to reacquaint themselves with self-sufficiency. We’re living in very interesting times, economically speaking. This could mean the difference between making it through OK and experiencing want or loss. Or, conversely, it could prove to be nothing more than a hobby that saves a little money. Either way, it’s not a bad thing.
