Here and Now...What's Happening?

Ok sorry
Inbox has room now

[778 neighbour of some guy]

Hi village, long time no see, this is just something i would like to share with you all, for those who do not visit the off grid thread, its a double slash triple post, i am aware of that but i think everybody needs to know how to this or have the knowledge of what is available or can be done with nothing but water and some seeds and how to make a hot cuppa in case the system fails us, for me personally its sorta depressing to watch how things are going lately and i must admit i sometimes dont know what to do anymore without giving in to negativity, so for some time know my mind is focussed on smaller and smaller things that can make life easier in case anything really bad does come to pass involving infrastructure collapse due to monetary or cost of transportation issues, this is the best and cheapest i could come up with.

This is not perse about doom or gloom, it could be about camping for all i care and i wish thats all it will be about, but here you have it, things that keep a village alive.

Harvest in 3/4/5 days, fresh, no light required, no garden required, just water, buy sprouting seeds, some containers and of you go.

I LIKE SPROUTS, they are juicy, fresh full of life and amazing.

WHY, its cheap, better then cooking your food beyond all recognition and kill it, seeds store compact and will grow multiple times their own size and weight, and its EEEEASY.

What is a seed in this context, everything that lives in a hull and can be purchased dried and in a bag, you now, like your grandma did in the old days.

brown beans, white beans, brown rice, chickpeas, alfalfa, lentils in all shapes and sizes, corn, wheat, mungbeans, adzukibeans, all of these and then some you can sprout, using nothing but a jar with some holes in them for drainage, a bag, some fancy sprouting gear is also available but not a requirement at all, just a jar or a few of them will do just fine.

So, get sprouting i say, on that very small countertop you see, let me count.......ok 9 bags of beans, wheat, lentils, peas and what not this costs about 15 bucks............. when sprouted these nine bags will fill up your bathtub about 6 times completely...........with 1th grade healthy food. So sprout.

Food prep, STOVES ( these are very small and portable and for biomass/alcohol/esbit/hexamine)

Besides burning biomass, which is FREE, these stoves also can be used with solid fuel like Esbit, hexamine and or alcohol.

I have been looking into these stoves for a while now, i recently finally got my biolite stove, but it is a bit bulky in my pack and it only burns biomass, biomass fuel is great but not when you are indoors and how much wood can one stack up in an apartment eh? ( the biolite broke on me, expensive joke)

So here are the four foldable stoves that caught my attention and no this is not a commercial from my part, they are great for camping and as emergency stoves just in case the power goes down in a scenario nobody wants to experience.

You can build each and every one of these yourself for cheap or decide not to invent the wheel again and look into one of these stoves( unless you come up with a far better wheel that is)

So the four stoves i checked out and they seemed to be working pretty well are:

1. THE FIREBOX http://foldingfirebox.com/

2. THE EMBERLIT http://www.emberlit.com/

3. VARGO HEXAGON http://vargooutdoors.com/

4. THE HONEY STOVE http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/product397.asp



Water filtration 1 million litres

Thats what it says on the box. Freezeframe the vid and you can see it, the website also specifies it, they have different options from 0.10 micron to 0.02 micron versions the latter one is a bit more expensive but filters a lot better and is still cheaper than the Katadyn, something you might want to look in to.

Thanks 778, i need some ideas for an indoor stove

I use thermal cooking as an alternative, uses NO fuel at all,
but you still have to bring things up to
cooking temperature first,
so i will check out those stoves,

Thanks

Some Bahai perspective ...prophecies that describe where we are at:

"Such simultaneous processes of rise and of fall, of integration and of disintegration,
of order and chaos, with their continuous and reciprocal reactions on each other,
are but aspects of a greater Plan, one and indivisible, whose Source is God,
whose author is Bahá’u’lláh, the theater of whose operations is the entire planet,
and whose ultimate objectives are the unity of the human race and the peace of all mankind."

The last few days I have been in "stealth mode" which I don't usually do, but somehow it helps me zip in and zip back out of Avalon quickly - only because I'm echoing Lewis Carroll's White Rabbit: "I'm late. I'm LATE ..."

Once I get back to a more balanced workload, I will remove the stealth cape.

Ya know, only Avalonian members visiting this thread make a "click" on the thread counter, watching the number of thread visits. It's getting close to one million, so I don't think we need to worry about no one paying attention. In fact I don't know of another place in the world where I could offer a message that goes as far and as wide. So, taking that opportunity:

Right here, right now: Sending a MASSIVE bolt of intense, heart-melting, psychopath-curing love. That's right, you silent watcher who thinks your heart is untouchable, that twinge in your chest was your heart chakra reacting to a Carrington-level love EMP.

I like to pop in and grab the chair by the flames and pull my damp socks off, hoping I can hold them close enough to the up draft that no one has to smell them while they get dry and warm ready for me to go back out and lose myself again.

Lol well, I never really thought Vincent (aka Alice) would actually be Justone, however that said, if you know Alice cooper, it wouldn't surprise me much if he was a member here ... nor would it surprise me if I learned Dave Mustane was a member ...

I do not speak French, (well I probably can speak a dozen French words with a bad "American" accent), but I am going to try to translate this for you:

yurkee = yucky
