Practical Prepping Protocol even if Poor

Oh, that was my cabin on the SUnshine Coast...to get to Cortes is 3 ferries from me [link to ourcortes.com] whereas the SUnshine Coast is one. I still maintain the guest room on the Coast, the cabin is different on Cortes (it's actually a 3 bedroom house). I've decided that in honour of living coastal...I should prolly get a boat! Our shared 41' Fraser built sold, alas. BUt maybe a little put-put thing would be Awesome to flee with. The alternative would be to simply take one, or coerce the captain to take me to either spots...


Mr. Poole, as a result of this explanation, I must inquire again, may I join you?

Today after work I went into a Goodwill store and found all kinds of desktop computers for $29.99. No hard drive, no OS but I'm a trashcan technologist who is literally typing this message out on a P4 computer.

Thinking of grabbing a few as the opportunity arrives. There's all kinds of i5s there. A step up it seems.

This machine might be recycled into a file server for a community wide wifi project (but I have 586s for that). Maybe into a Tickets machine for emergency use. Dunno yet.

Mr. Poole, as a result of this explanation, I must inquire again, may I join you?

Lol...my missus might take that the wrong way...but it's a big Province! Larger then WA, OR CA and half of Idaho put together...with 6ish million people in it. It's why I moved here instead of getting my green card and moving to Indiana (still miss Indiana), vast and empty.

:noice:

Great skillsets...

I'm sorry to say we have misunderstood each other, Mr. Poole. I have not propositioned you, by any means. I do believe we would enjoy each other's company, and have many night-long conversations, but absolutely nothing distressing to your Missus. If I am to have a gentleman, of my own, it would have to be literally of my own. I don't share well. I would not for anything disrespect your person or your established arm candy.

My thought was merely of wide water, glorious sandy beaches, a few random shells, and good company.

My thought also was of teasing you madly without a scintilla of truth in it! After all, you had me totally confused one day last week, so I owed you!

You'd like the quay.
You are moar then welcome to come and sit by the river as a house guest and I could prolly muster up a coastal trip to Tim's place where I have a room! I'm a monk anyhow, and she's fine with that. But for sure, if you feel a need to get out of Dodge, we're here (High_Strangeness is her btw). As you might be able to tell, I'm a damn fine cook! I think my posts are evenly split between this thread, the daily prayer thread and the foodie thread with my own chaos tossed in now and then.

Yes, watching 'revolution' and he reminds of the guy, you kind of want on your side, even though it is not apparent at first.

Not sure how I picked up this youtube channel? Prolly modding the Frank symposium thread on rumble...but I like this. Direct, to the point and a farmer.

He is one determined gentleman~ there's no quit in him!

Regarding the projected trip, Mr. Poole, I'd forgotten your cooking. I'd have to bring my dog with me, because I would not be coming back here once I began to eat your foods. Just how it is. Therefore I will uninvite myself with many thanks for your graciousness!

He's the same in his garden - did you know that? He grew something nobody here grows and it's like a miracle. Perhaps you can ask him about it if you have never read that section of this thread.

Yes, definitely want him on our side!!

Oh, the cat perished during the heat wave so a dog is fine. She was, bless her soul 17, but that heat killed 800+ in and around Vancouver and environs. Not sure how many pets were lost but I know 2, and I rarely talk to anyone.

Funny...sometimes this guy reads my mind, or more probable, reads GLP! Since they just made it so that you have to have the jab to get your PAL (easy to get in Canada, but needed to legally buy a firearm and ammo), a crossbow is in order.

Water, water every where and nary a drop to drink...
Water filters depend on your scenario, and for most, their budget. Here is a cheap one that comes with 'praise' from my new found mentor. [link to hydroblu.com (secure)]

[link to youtu.be (secure)] I won't embed it, it is a review of the filter I found poking about. SO, click if you want a review.

As for the Lt. Col he didn't mention violence. I think he more so called upon those who were 'in the know' to step out of the shadows and become whistleblowers en masse...but who knows...lol...'poof', all links gone, and tantrums thrown. So, those who didn't see it might be convinced enough to not view it out of fear.

For small space preppers. Ie. this vid shows a 600 sq ft apartment! And Daisy has been at this a long time, so it is worth the view for many urbanites.

and run down to walmart to get more oil when it runs out.

If you have olive trees nearby, (like I do) you can burn olive oil.

These kits make it easy, but you could make your own. Other oils can be used as well.

Remember, it’s always about resources. In essence, black markets function on scarcity, regulations, supply and demand imbalances in the regular market.

Anyway, that’s how people get access to prohibited or heavily regulated goods. It can be anything from guns and ammo, unapproved medications, currency, and unfortunately, also drugs, products of criminal activity, wild or exotic animals and birds, exploited children, and other atrocities. Black markets, in general, are a lot less profitable and thus a lot smaller in countries and places with stronger, more vibrant, and exceptionally less regulated economies. Why would someone risk the black market if they can get access to something in the regular economy?

But where there’s demand, there will be supply.
Still, there will always be something people want that’s prohibited or regulated. Therefore, people and the market find a way. The black market is an escape valve, a way to circumvent restrictions and regulations.

And shortages and limitations become quite common during SHTFs. Even ones in which there’s still some institutional order in place. And this concerns us as preppers and survivalists.

When people want something or need something, someone will find ways to provide. It’s possible to suppress and highly regulate a market but not to kill it. If life goes on, so does trading.

Having lived in the black market cannabis 'underworld' I should point out that entry into such a market place is, in many instances' already open to those Americans who illegally smoke cannabis. Their dealer, knows a bigger dealer, who in turn knows a bigger dealer etc. all the way up to the grower (or in the case of Mexiweed) smuggler.
In the case of a SHTF...those who already 'dabble' have a chain of trade. If they have something to trade that is.

For new people...the links in this article to Selco and Jose are must reads.

I found a..., sry hi, king of world, found a poly mattress cover and put it over my shopping cart like a Christmas stocking/party dress. Current price new 8 bucks, which is a bargain.

Found this on Detoxing Heavy metals and other toxins from body.
Dr Berg is a good resource for this issue. Sure there are others as well but happen to like him for his straight-forwardness.




As far as removal of heavy metals from water I would suggest to look up 5 Stage Reverse Osmosis Filter system.

Not sure if it can be run stand alone without running water to your home but it sounds like a very good system for a plethora of contaminates.

Thanks for reminding me...I started off with the cheapest solution. I'll take pics when it arrives soon. But I can write up a scalable price point post for sure. I think in total the MUV was $160.00 CDN so...$126.00 FRN.

If you have water and your neighbor doesn't, or the other way around, try this.

You can link water hoses together and have the guy with no pressure shut off his valve to the premise.

But the polarity is wrong. The other end of the hose won't go on the other house's faucet.

You can BUY a female female hose fitting (the hose and faucet will be both be male).

But you might have a washing machine hose laying around. The washing machine hose will be female female.

Also, when you find hose washers cheap, buy some.

I have done this. Both as the guy whose well has gone out and as the guy providing water pressure to a neighbor.

My favorite prepper just came out with a new video about growing potatoes.
She is such a delight to learn from and listen to.
Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I did.



Much Love~
