It is a peaceful and lawful method of defeating the socialist progressive takeover that may actually work, not that supporting the Tea Party movement or protesting isn't helpful. DIY is a terrific part of this plan. Your labor isn't taxed, the cost you'd pay to have it done isn't taxed and you get a great feeling of accomphisment when it's finished. The tools you purchase become additional resources for your self-sufficeny arsenal and may be used for a future source of income or trade.
Most of my time now is spent around the people I love and care about. We enjoy catching, growing, preparing and preserving foods.
You have to stay in shape and that means biking, long hikes, exercise and so forth.
Not everyone can leave the matrix but everyone can take a step in that direction. For benefit of others, they can begin by dropping pay TV, newspapers, magazines. Buy and store foods in bulk, purchase food processing equipment, start a DIY project (look to youtube for how to vids), cut back on spending, keep some cash at home, start saving more, go enjoy the outdoors through some low cost means (i.e. camping, biking, hiking, canoeing, build a wooden boat) and stop wasting time. Our good days are numbered.
You have the right idea. Are you on dial up or high speed internet and is that your only vice.
Awesome. We are on a path similar to yours. And it beats the hell out of the rat race.
