And to add. WA can’t even get a crop off. Fortress WA not working either. The nerve that they wanted overseas workers before allowing Aussies to do the work! WA crop harvestOn a side note. They pay in mining is going up quickly in WA. Many mines are now going live in and much less FIFO. No one wants to love where the mines are and mines are offering serious coin to entice workers. House o cards my friends!

It looks like AP is going to cause as much mayhem as the fizzer truckie strike was supposed to. Aus Post
So those businesses that adapted to online sales are now going to get hammered. I winder what the big retailers are doing? probably couriers working under water tight contracts to keep the rich like Boozos sucking wealth from his mum n dad competition.

All it shows me is that for all the rights we have given up in the “war on terror” we get little to nothing back. the crooks still have to commit the crime before they do the time regardless of their little online fantasies.. When we do get them we let them out early on good behaviour. I’m partial to the cops blowing them away though…..case closed.

Add a bit of sugar and a pinch of salt and make some ready to go meals. Try adding sultanas or other dried fruit instead of sugar.
Oats are a superfood. i eat em twice a day. they keep me going and working for several hours more than most meals.

I have 2 different mindsets depending on the situation.
1. if it’s economic hardship and not too doomsday everything you, MWT and others are doing is what i’m doing (to a much lessers scale at this stage) and is all totally awesome and appropriate. I am making large amounts of compost out of weeds and hedge trimmings, chook coop waste and unwanted chook scraps from he kitchen. I also use , chook poo pellets, lime, gypsum and rock phosphate for fertiliser but hope to reduce the use of import nutrients. At this stage i just use a mattock, flat blade shovel, small shovel for all my prep and maintenance work.
2. If it goes mad max then i’m changing to small almost “tactical hehe” gardens not easily visible and with plants most emo’s won’t really recognise outside of a beautiful looking ,tilled garden. I’m talking plantings in the bush along natural soak areas or creeks. Things that can survive without love but can still offer rewards like arrowroot, sweet potato, pumpkin, potato, climbing beans, cherry tomatos. just about everything else will give the game away by the amount of care it needs to keep them going. My mad max plan is to live of meat and supplement that with small amounts of fruit and veg and mainly live off bush greens like edible weeds, lomandra, bullrush, nettles etc.

I heard they were cutting their OT to use to pay cheap contractors and labour hire. Apparently they need OT to make the job worth it, hourly rate is less than $30. OT suggests long hours and fatigue which is maybe something they should be avoiding when driving 40 ton vehicles in traffic on shite roads? I’m still with em though.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not so interested in poison with my own dogs being on the property. Will look into some of the callers. Thanks norseman . What i do is lay the baits and tether them so they can’t be moved. muzzle or restrain dogs for baiting period then when complete gather and bury baits Real deep, over the 500mm recommended. Dig deep hole, dump untaken bait, add a big rock on top of bait then bury. Safe, effective, dead dogs but not yours😁. And Milspec from experience you’ll always see the bugger when you don’t have your rifle. Meaning, always carry your rifle in your vehicle, tractor (particularly when slashing), atv, horse or whatever when on your block. I relearned that lesson this morning when piddling the dogs. I was down the driveway and a feral cat i’ve been seeing waltzed down the road not a care in the world. Ran back grabbed the rifle but the cat was onto me and i could not get a shot off by the time i returned.

Need to keep an eye out for this one folks! Seems like it's gaining traction both nationally and internationally, could become self-fulfilling! It actually needs to happen! Those truckers are an abused mob and everyone knows it. Yeah some make good coin but the costs are so high for their health, family, friends. I get the “lifestyle” part of the job but if that is how you got to sell the job to yourself then something is wrong. I have a mate who was a highway cop (yeah i know) and the details of the training they go through are insane. They do this training to find all the scams some trucking companies do to break the rules to drive faster for longer with bigger loads. Scary stuff really when 30-40 tons of freight are right up ya butt on the Newell at 11pm!

Unions went from blue collar thugs to white collar crooks. At least when they were blue collar you knew why you were being fingered. These white collar dirtbags you just can’t see why they get paid at all let alone how they are representing you. We need unions but they don’t do themselves any favours., I won’t join one until they actually start to represent the workers but without the thuggery or striking when the country and people are at their lowest point i.e. now, and the wharfies being grubs when we were trying to fight ww2 and Vietnam.

The really dumb thing about the rise of a belligerent China ... is that it was enabled by the very richest class of American society in their attempts to get even richer. First by embracing business models and lobbying for national policies that favoured off-shore productive assets and workforce over their own country and people. Then by pushing a social engineering agenda that is going to have dire consequences for every single western nation and weaken them in ways never thought possible. China has been social engineering towards uniformity and cohesion ... while US, Europe and Oz has been engineering towards diversity and identity separation (under a smokescreen of rainbows and unicorns 'inclusiveness'. I don't think either is better or worse than the other. Both approaches have advantages and deep flaws. In times of warfare ... cohesion and uniformity is superior. We all all culpable in the rise of China. Our our obsession with cheap chinese crap built the beast. If you don’t like it don’t buy chinese. The problem with that is now it’s hard to find local suppliers and even harder to find ones that have a viable economic/business model that even tries to be competitive. Australian businesses love mega profits and far too many will rip you off with a glint of glee in their eye. Look at harvey norman, they sell you years old tech for cutting edge new tech prices. Yet yhe gov props them up cause they squeal about jobs when times get tough.

2 inch venison cubes. BBQ on each side for 1 to 1:30 min. Pinch of salt then your done. I could eat that 365/24/7. On good one to try is 1 can black beans, 1 can red kidney beans and 1 can of chopped tomatoes. Add salt pepper and if ya sorted, some ‘erbs and fried onion from your garden. What cut of venison are you using as the source of those cubes? The best. Backstraps/loin. My mate has had good results with rump too.

Prepping for a financial collapse covers most of your bases anyway, it’s the most likely scenario. Just about all other scenarios lead to economic issues/austerity/collapse eventually anyway if they ate bad enough. Covid will probably do the same and for many people has already.
We’ll get our 70-80% vaccination rate then if the gates don’t open, we will see some shtf in downtown sudney and melbourne as people take back their freedom in numbers. I can’t see anyone taking any more backtracking from the state gov reps on meeting those targets.

I wasn’t sure where to put this but i’m in the market for a case tumbler as i am shooting a lot more these days and want to man the reloading bench a bit more too. What are the pros and cons of steel pin tumblers vs the corn cob media type? Cost appears to be one but is there something major in the difference in the end result?
