How to Find Peace? SHTF Survival 2012
Life could be seen as a raft floating down a river on your way to the great ocean.
We can fear getting snagged to by the bushes on the edges, be uncertain of those who ride with us and anxious of the turbulence which may lie ahead for us.
Inadvertently, in our ignorance, selfishness and panic lured by attractive little streams that promise what appears to be a shortcut or easier way.
Naturally, unfortunately and inevitably, we always have to come back to our rightful place on the river. And, why is it somehow the stream back is never quite as alluring?
We are not the raft, we are the river, the raft the conscience manifestation of life.

And so now it is time to begin again . .
How to start again?
1. Try to relax. Even in our worst crisis we can still hear the self voice. We don't want to, we want to be totally justified in our frustration and sorrow. The voice says, now let it go, know this will pass, just float in the flow. Truth is even when we have everything we have no control. When you have nothing you are thankful for this.
2. Do what is in front of you to do. Hungry, then find food. Sick, then go back to bed. Lonely, then go help someone. We are not here to work to extinguish the world with our consumerism. Without the consideration of money, you can see where you want to be in life, and you don't need money to walk that path everyday.
3. Be kind to yourself. Don't accept negative or condemning thoughts. Let them pass like farts because they are only the gas of the mind and should have no bearing on your life. Feelings of guilt or remorse should be like thoughts of memories and then let go too. Don't let anyone use guilt to make you do something you don't want to do, this is abusing yourself unnecessarily.
4. Take care of your body. This vehicle is your equipment to survive the journey so keep it healthy. Feed it, clean it, clothe it, exercise it, pleasure it, enjoy it, share it, love it. Don't wear things that don't fit. Don't subject it to the incessant damage of toxins in food and in your environment. Don't allow someone else to exploit your body by using you as a money making machine, if you do you will pay with your body on another day.
5. Look only forward. There is a reason we forget the days so quickly, how they just evaporate from existence, It is because they do. Holding on to the past is like trying to catch farts. What's the point? This second is the most important in our minds, that is because each must be experienced to the fullest. And then, similarly, let go to make room for the next. Everything changes all the time, be available for what life's gifts ahead.
Regardless of what we have or who you have, know you are right where you are to be in the history of the world. Listen to the voice who whispers what you need to do to live a satisfying life. Consider it predetermined. Consider all you will need will be there when you need it. Consider you are important to the world in this second, otherwise you would not be here. Consider everyone doing what they should be doing to make this life a blessing to the world.

Starting with Nothing - SHTF - Survival in Nature
here i am, what a lovely letter we certainly are falling in love with each other, lol, thought i would tell you what is going on here, not to brag or complain but to have something to say - started with 26 turkey egss, 7 hatched, down to 2 - but - they are very strong and healthy, recovered from injury and best of all a male and female - they live with another chick in my livingroom, they need it very warm so now there is shit everywhere, good thing they are little bad thing is this is where i sell my stuff usually - roy is alllergic to them so i have to figure out how to keep them warm while it gets colder, there is a truck canopy in the back yard, maybe i can set up a heat lamp and keep them protected from critters, . .. coffee is finished now roy just came in from doing firewood must go be a loving wife \best part of my job) so more later peace
the turkeys are outside now, everyday when the sun hits the front porch i send them out - this big clean farm and my babies are in the most contaminated area, then they go huddle in the shade and hide from the other chickens - more and more they play and run around now on the ground and fast - hard to catch at the end of the day to put in the house- today was awesome my shadow chicken herded them into the house for me
this chicken just will not leave me alone when i am outside, she came with the batch of birds from a neighbor moving away - it was great to have chickens again but on arrival they were mean and egg eaters, so i have no eggs - have new clippers and will dock the beaks of the culprits -
anyway one day a lone chicken was pacing the fence where i was, there wasn't another bird in sight - she was upset and obviously wanted my attention - she seemed to be saying "remember me?! remember me?!?' - outloud i told her she didn't have to try and con me, i let all girls out who just can't stand being in the pen anymore \- she just would no leave me alone \(i love this) - she has since stole the butt from my fingers and my heart
next day another lone chicken, doing the same song and dance alone, when i opened the gate, she sat and let me pick her up - in my head again i heard words \\'you know me, you know me\' - so very happy she was, when she joined the other chicken on ground at my feet the truth of matter was loud and clear -THESE WERE MY CHICKENS, bought chicks \i had raised by hand - it took chickens to make me remember\- we had so much success with raising chickens that year that we sold some to one lady who sold them to another whom i bought them back\
once i realized this it was very easy for me to gentle the meanness out of the flock - birds are so very rewarding \(they can also be heartbreaking like anything else of value)
no time to proofread or pretty this up - more later - peace
ps just came in, have lost my sheep and it is now dark, hope they come home with their tails wagging behind them

Sustainability and Self-Sufficient Living Off the Land SHTF Survivial Homestead
The post of a blog friend has been on my mind since I read it. Because of careful planning and major life changes she was fortunate to set up a farm and throw herself 100% into farming, gardening and homemaking. Unfortunately she now sees what we, her brothers and sisters in sustainability and self-sufficiency also have learned from years of experience, these are not viable ways to procure cash. Nature will always fill your belly but you can never count on her to fill your purse. One will only burn out trying to prove otherwise.
I feel partially responsible for not exposing the cold hard truths of living like this, off grid so to speak, that newbies and daydreamers can't know. The truth is cooking, gardening and farming are excellent ways to save money and feed your family. The truth is to maintain and secure the necessary infrastructure for these activities requires the labour of at least one more person and other resources including a cash flow.
I blog about my successes and each picture carefully taken to show a sense of perfection. Are there any dishes, can you hear me panting, do you see my dirty nails or the weeds, or the unswept floor? The truth is I never have time to make my house or my yard look pretty. I am too tired from keeping enough food growing to fill my freezer for the winter and the wolf from the door.
Anyone who is serious about sustainable living encounters feelings of inadequacy and overwhelming everyday. We just live with it and keep trudging down the path. Each day too we take our eyes from our obsession and to see how beautiful the journey really is. The rewards far outshine the losses, never posh and frilly but always an exciting adventure.
Peace

Seems to me if the homesteaders and preppers unite we could work together to survive what lies ahead.
Just saying, would love to start a dialogue about this. Peace

SHTF Prepper Link Tips for Surviving Homestead
I am glad to see people are starting to wake up to the need to prepare for the future.
Buying and saving food is only a short-term solution. Guns will only get you so far without an alliance, pharmaceuticals could be non existent, and electronics useless.
As a longtime homesteader my priority is on being able to produce what we need where we live. For a homestead to be truly productive and effective it should be a community of more than 2 families.
People do not want to leave what they have now, and live like it is tomorrow, in order to be prepared. It is hard to leave the dreamy warm bed of electronics, money and luxury to face reality.
Excellent Advice Here

"If only I could go back in time to when I could have" can be adverted, do what you can today! The world is trying to become a better place, are you doing your part to help it out?

SHTF Preppers How to Survive the Future Living Without Money Freedom Natural Activitiy
While googling "preppers" I had to learn a new acronym SHTF. It took me a little to catch it but I think it stands for Shit Hits The Fan. The poor preppers are asking for old Mother Earth News magazines, survival retreat colonies desperate for information on how to prepare for the future. The wealthy ones want to know where to buy the safest place and the necessary supplies.
I wish I could tell them what I know. The first thing to know is THE SHIT HAS HIT THE FAN, we are now in the midst of a shit storm. If you have an evacuation plan use it. Do what you know to do - whether it is taking care of the helpless and buying seeds to grow next year - now is the time to do it!

Natural
activity makes this life possible
Natural
activity is putting our thoughts and dreams in motion
By
overcoming our shortcomings and forging ahead,
our bodies can take us to all the places of our imagination.
our bodies can take us to all the places of our imagination.
The second thing preppers need to know, is living without money is trial and error. You don't have the skills to assume you will be able to support your self in one season. Even if you build the perfect chicken coup, you probably will have to build it again in a better place or similarly you could buy awesome hens only to have them taken by a predator over night or you could buy lots of seeds only to have none of them sprout or buy a place only to find out the water is no good.
Don't give up and don't expect money will solve a thing, because it won't.
Don't give up and don't expect money will solve a thing, because it won't.
Fear of the unknown
is always prevalent but preparing for the future and its children is
bravery. At the beginning when all the choices are yours it is easy to
make
mistakes, it is natural to "try on different shoes" until you get a
perfect fit. But once those initial choices are made, you join the
secret
society of nature. She calls the shots, shows you opportunities,
mistakes
and the path of least resistance for the most gain. You will feel that
relief
you are longing for, and life will bloom in the natural peace and
abundance that is their birthright.
