i think something we should consider is to start growing some basics on our own. I am testing simple hydroponics set ups (6 and 24 pod rigs) for kang kong and some other veges. I am trying out tomatoes again because the recent rains here killed the fledgling tomato plan. must remember to keep the plants that can't take the rain into the house.
Even for those of us who live in an apartment, we _can_ grow some food

i reckon instead of using the entire match, I would nip parts and just have the match heads plus maybe a few mm and stick into my pots.
The extra match body can be used to make firestarters with stormproof matches. I saw a youtube vid about home made tornado matches which are quite funky... though i disagree with the rubber inner tube... now if only i remember where I saw that video ...
lol

wheat needs to be grown in cold weather? equatorial regions like Singapore can't grow?

over here we have daiso, that sells pre-cooked rice. I will normally mix those with canned food though. one packet of rice + 1 tin of campbells/M&S canned soup, would make a meal.

Because the govt won't pay for an electronic system that won't be hacked by the chinese, like the census was, or can't withstand high traffic like the MyHealth system that just crashed. IT companies charge huge amounts for minor work. Mrs Frostbite can even get a basic change to customer letters made because that would cost up to $10k. When I worked in IT for Centrelink last century we couldn't afford what IBM wanted to develop a mainframe, so we bought one of their best engineers and made our own. Its all about cloud now. You can build a wordpress site as an intranet system and charge less. Its still a sum, but for honest work. I remember asking 5 to 10k for a full office intranet system - Inventory control, invoicing, accounting, knowledge base housed in-office. It _is_ 3 months of work, so actually when you divide out, its fairly decent. IBM would charge you 100Gs and above.

saw a video by a Vietnamese lady hiker who hikes alone in Europe. Her answer to blisters is silk stockings.
Anyone tried?
