Totally agree with him, I was thinking of the 5 wise and 5 foolish virgins from the New Testament. Those who have been warned yet do nothing, do not deserve the help. those who cannot help themselves because of things beyond their control deserve assistance, but only what can be spared and as long as they make themselves useful. Not going to look after anyone who wants to sit around like lord/lady muckybum.

Growing fruit trees in pots is doable, you just have to look for the miniature trees, and make sure they are the potable ones.

Looks like they were testing solar arrays, apparently once they got it up there, the deployed the solar system, so it sounds to me like testing of new panels wiring and batteries.

The wife and I spend a fair bit of time planning, money is of course the limiting factor, so budgeting is high on our priority list always, research comes second, lists come third, then obviously learning new skills (survival, medical, cooking, preserving).
We are also constantly looking at how we can minimise our footprint, so if things go south we can bug out with what we have now, not what we would like in the future.
My wife has a small business on line, so she is constantly looking for the cheapest prices for all our gear, (pensioners need to watch every cent).
But for us, it is a central part of our lifestyle. Which reminds me of a saying: most people spend more time planning and preparing for their next holiday than they do for where they will be in the next five years, which is why most people are broke all the time.

If it comes from the lame stream propaganda media, you can guarantee apart from human nature stories, they are full of lies deceit and about 0.01% truth.
If it comes from a politician you can almost guarantee it comes from a partisan point of view thus is most likely 10% truth 90% spin, give or take 10%.
The finance system is designed to make them money, nothing more, the services they give are just the minimum thy have to do to gain money. thus they will always tell you its all great and marvy, until it crashes down around your ears, then they will tell you that they could not foresee this occurrence, plus you knew the risk when you signed up for a bigger payout. thus they lie by omission, falsified reports etc.
unless you get verification by multiple sources, independent ie: not got a vested interest in the situation, not gaining financial gain from it, do not believe it as it is usually hype.
But on a good note, as long as you plan on the fact that if it hits the fan, you are on your own and cannot trust anyone who says they are from the govt and are here to help you. trust me, I am not from the govt and I am only here to help my family and friends.
And remember in all of this, please do not forget to live life, love one another and enjoy what freedoms you still have (for now).

Also I just sent the Mrs a mission to go get 2kg of "Loving Earth" Raw Organic Cacaine powder. Thank you for the Tip Krull. However don't everyone go into full panic mode, parts of Asia and south America produce Cocaine, it was discussed in the very early days in one of the main cartel threads. Fixed lol
Chocolate prices won't effect me, since I'm trying my best to give up the sweet succulent chocolaty flavour
Take away me chocolate is fighting words, the world would cease to be safe for all of humanity if I lost my chocolate. /end joke (little joke just for asio and the afp).
But on a serious note, the wife and I are stocking up on straight cocoa powder, the 70% dark stuff, you use way less, and it goes a long way. plus we are working on rationing as we go, that way if shtf we are already rationing and making things last as long as possible.

My concern would be an automated robot with sensors and weaponry, being "reprogrammed" by an obamabot, or greeny or by anonymous.
Think a mobile automated sentry machine gun like in aliens. if it moves and can be verified as human then it gets vaporised.

Hi guys and gals, now anyone like myself and wifleberrykins who is addicted to the good ole God given chocolate and cocoa needs to stock up on the stuff quick smart. Due to the ebola spreading, a country in Africa who is the biggest producer of the stuff is shutting down their border to ensure they don't get hit with the nasty beasty. The big problem for that is this: the countries that are currently under ebola are where there workers come from. so prices are going to go up, or stocks are going to be limited.

Very good post this one, my suggestion which I got off my wife (she is uber awesome) any time you look at an item, do a google search on reviews for any item. Look at different ones, blogs, professional reviews, the lot. You will get your answer as to if it is a bargain or a dud just on the first page.
The trick is, research, research, research. Never buy on a whim.

I have read quite a bit about these, quite good machines. The other option I would look at would be one of the old 5 stroke engines, the do 4 rotations just on the power of the flywheel and then one combustion stroke. You would need to contact some antique engine people for one though, and they would not be cheap.

very nice, although I worry about what would happen if you had a fall, would the knife not run the risk of breakage?
Also, love the leather work, it is a skill I need to get into my bag of skills. dang not having lots of money, I keep telling the wifleberrykins she needs to hurry up and win the lotto for us, 10 mill will do just nicely.
