If you manage to avoid any areas of active piracy, or other areas that might draw suspicion, and you could probably live a relatively peaceful existence.<br /><br />A few Earth boxes on deck can provide fresh vegetables. Solar for power is a given. And I did not know that they existed until I saw them on an episode of “I shouldn't be alive,” but a few of those floating solar stills will provide fresh water for the small Earth boxes and for drinking, along with rainwater collection. <br /><br />Boats can be picked up for a bargain these days, according to Rancho Costa Nada Author, Phil Garlington, who recently acquired two at a bargain. And that's another great option for those living in the people's republic of California; the Delta region.<br /><br />Despite the potential attractions, I remain a land lover, and would prefer the Nevada desert to the sea life. As a first choice though, I'll take an uncharted island full of hot, naked, native chicks :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-7844621927056599332015-12-26T08:03:26.026-08:002015-12-26T08:03:26.026-08:00When all you learn is grabbing and holding power, ...When all you learn is grabbing and holding power, you skip on other important things like geopolitics, energy, strategy, etc. James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-88146143525707433132015-12-26T08:01:30.780-08:002015-12-26T08:01:30.780-08:00Orlov is sailing around now, plus he lives on his ...Orlov is sailing around now, plus he lives on his boat plus is an engineer, so his plan is probably sound.

With much of the ocean fisheries in collapse, worse weather, and lawlessness increasing in the shipping lanes (see- Somali pirates) the ocean is a place already entering the hard parts of the crash. Pirates more significantly worry me. If you are sustainable you are using sails which are visible further away that petroleum powered pirates would be- petroleum power would give pirates a double advantage during conflict times, but the problems of petroleum power make it unsustainable for a long term thinking survivalist to use. So I think survival on the ocean is possible is some areas with some plans but knowing which areas to which plans will require EXPERIENCE which is something most of us will be hard pressed to get ahead of time (unless we are rich or work as fishermen or sailors - and note all three of those have a 'home port' on land to be based out of)...

I think Putin's such a 'good' leader(for his and his nations interests) because he was in the intelligence branch of the KGB at the beginning of his professional career and has some good sources and a good understanding of 'group think' and its implications. <br />A president like a US Putin would try to subtly withdraw in a profitable way from our global empire and set up as much as possible, and set us up for a sustainable distributed future. Not going to happen, but our constitution allows us to be 'pre distributed' as states, counties, and individuals - mostly, for now...JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-37136943332493441032015-12-25T12:23:56.895-08:002015-12-25T12:23:56.895-08:00"escape on a boat" works when leaving ba..."escape on a boat" works when leaving bad place, going to functional place. Money to be made transporting people/pharma/weapons on a boat. Fiberglas and wooden boats that sit low in the water are not very detectable among pleasure craft. DO has guest authors on his site that are different from his collapse ideas. What DO has that is very interesting is an inside understanding of how Russians behave. <br /><br />pdxr13Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-2844852755417460332015-12-25T08:40:16.555-08:002015-12-25T08:40:16.555-08:00I almost want to buy silver at this low price, but...I almost want to buy silver at this low price, but like ammo and wheat, sometimes you just have to stop pack-ratting.James M Dakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01382139289994087931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-39778238032603131132015-12-25T08:38:42.291-08:002015-12-25T08:38:42.291-08:00Since it is frowned on to send anthrax through the...Since it is frowned on to send anthrax through the mail, I saw no need to send #2 a Christmas card.

Some of his stuff is treading water, most of it is a one of a kind perspective I enjoy ( see his last post on Ukranian nukes ). As for a boat, why not? The whole point is to get away from people.

I have been subject to being near-missed, pass-cut-brakehard, and cursed at for riding my bicycle as fast as traffic (25 zone)in the "Best Bicycle City in North America" pdx. Yeah, right: Xmas-eve-consumer road rage.<br /> <br />Praise the baby Jesus, and our listmom with good hair.<br />Pray for a little more time to get some more urban escape funds by selling some more electrified modern toys.<br />Note the USD vs. furrin fiats is slipping, but silver is cheaper in terms of low-end labor than ever. There may be a moment when outlying property acres could be had for a few pounds of silver (a JM 100oz bar?), before that ugly time when it can be had for a few ounces of expended cartridges. <br /><br />May the Lord g-d bless the followers of JD and his practical solutions to modern insanity. <br /> <br /><br />pdxr13 Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-60618759006880010242015-12-24T14:48:41.065-08:002015-12-24T14:48:41.065-08:00Bush, make intelligent decisions?

Bush famously said he doesn't read the newspapers, 0bama that he doesn't watch the cable news. In both cases the point though is moot as those sources of information (in the mainstream world at least) are already the things that their insular group knows. <br />https://www.truthorfiction.com/white-house-media-relations-052013/<br />So a president cant turn to the mainstream news to get a feel for the problems of the average people. Polls ask pre-written questions, and in the asking of the questions can manipulate the answers to support a conscious or unconscious agenda i.e.: Pollster- "do you oppose Trumps radical proposal to keep out select immigrants purely on the basis of his unfounded religious prejudice?".<br />So how is a "decider" (as Bush famously called himself) supposed to make intelligent decisions.JJGreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06708302086326564665noreply@blogger.com
