I'm digging up my folks back yard to plant food. I've also got bike repair and alternative medicine materials I'm going through.

I intend to increase my physical strength and bulk up. However, having no access to a gym due to limited funds, I am pretty much limited to calisthenics, endurance training such as running and bicycling, and lifting with various items that I find around the farm such as water buckets, feed bags, hay bales, etc. It seems to be working well, as I now regularly do 50 pushups per day, and before I used to do 30. I can run most of a mile, and I can pick up 10 gallon buckets full of water fairly easily. I can now throw a 45 pound hay bale 10 yards, so this seems to be working.

Any chance you can expand on your preparations? You got a head start on many of use in learning about peak, and while your website makes your position clear on peak after effects, not much on your recommendations on surviving peak. (or am I asking for stuff from the book?)
The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

My skills
by Cool Hand Linc » Tue 15 Jun 2004, 20:32:07
I go to the gun range once a week.
I am learning knots of many different types from boy scout web sites. There are many on the net.
I can garden well. but I have learned the skill of getting viable seeds is most important. This is being put as a for front. Its not as easy as some might think. Planting melons near cucumbers will result in many seeds that will never grow. Getting good seeds is an art and a skill! If I can grow planrs one season but can not get seeds for future years then it will be very difficult to grow next year.

We will relocate soon to a small; close knit rural area where we are outsiders.
While I believe I am a generous person and turly a Jack-of-All-Trades, I’m not outgoing, but will nonetheless concentrate on MadScientist’s theory of how to become accepted and valued in my new community; “they don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care”.
Failing that I'll go camp out at his house.

The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

It just means raising animals. Nothing twisted. BTW, that's probably going to be the skill, along with carpentry, that I focus on.

Very funny. Look it up you ignorant hick! Just kidding.
Actually there are years of course work in this field in any good agricultural school. It's just the care and feeding of standard farm animals.
We want goats, chickens, rabbits and a couple of cows.

We're all sick in our own way. I get myself a property in the comoing few months. First animal there will be rabbits (easy, small, just to start off).
Next animal will be sheeps,... think about it.... source of food, milk AND cloth...In my VERY COLD region, wool will be very important. (that and killing my neighbor...though the killing my neighbor will be mainly for fun of course).
