all year round, right?

not as much maint

If I don't get to carpent and craft a whole lot you'll have one grumpy Koala on your hands 😒

waterwheels only work until the waters freeze

sadly

flowing water doesn't freeze as easily as stagnant water

Solar does seem to be the best source of "off the grid power"

I suppose we could keep fires alive by the waterwheel to keep it flowing, but it's pretty much no use, cost too much Wood and so on I gues

s

solar is your best bet off the grid

As I said corn is not the best option for energy but it can be a solution for other problems, like alcohol, starch, feed the animals...

Yeah

The versatility makes it worth

why solar

Corn is still a staple for feeding farm animals and farmers.

@Mercer nearly every homsteader I've met that lives away from power has solar and can most modern comforts with it

solar is a low maint and high yield way for power

especially if you invest in a giant field

humans need all different types of foods

to be healthy

And who said that we are going to be eating only corn?

How will we deal with getting old in our society? No home for the elderly I imagine lol

Corn has been a part of the American diet since the time of the Native Americans.

It is literally one of the most American foods out there.

@Yung Koala The old should do housework and less physically demanding chores. We can't have welfare for the old.

I don't think American Indians made many tamales...

Pretty sure they ate it on the cob.

Tbh, I'm gonna take my own life once I'm old to the point where I am only a nuisience to others - another worry, just a mouth to feed, can't even take care of myseld

@Yung Koala the old should be teaching the young

The Native Americans used fish as fertilizer and it worked for them for thousands of years.

Touché

Long before we had artificial nitrates and fertilizers.

So you're pointing out the benefit of corn now?

What is masa?

You can also make corn bread and corn tortillas.

Touché af

This talk of food is making me hungry 😄

I love southern Corn bread. especially with butter.

We can all agree on that variety of food is necessary for morale and sustenance, right?

Yes.

I'm just debating for the sake of debating. Corn is not the hinge point of my interest here.

What sort of grains will we have?

I want oats 😊 Easy to make porridge

What is healthy.

Same @Mitere

Oats are good too.

Agreed.

Diversity (ironically) is good when it comes to crops.

When we don't crossbreed the crops, aye :>)

Heresy!

If you only have one type of grain, or fruit, or vegetable you're asking for a famine when a pest or disease comes and kills off that particular crop.

^

Hell, the Mormons damn near died out when they settled Utah when snails began to overwhelm their fields and entire their entire harvest.

Will we have an inn? Like a place everyone who wants to can come and hang out in the evening or during festivities? 😄

They were saved by a passing flock of birds than came and ate all the snails.

We'd need an innkeeper! What a comfy profession

There's a type of Oat that can be eaten without being processed or cooked, you just soak it in water for a bit. I forget the name they call it "Something Berries"

Or maybe it was a grain.

Sounds like good eating

Its referenced in the book "Patriots" in a SHTF scenario it became one of the main parts of their daily diet.

Mmmm, chicken tendies

Fuck yes we do

I haven't had those in forever ;w;

Haha, memes aside poultry and eggs are a great source of protein.

So yes.

Omelette 👌🏻

Alright, gonna try to sleep again now - church in 7 hours

Gn

night

@dmac100 to each their own. I enjoy corn though other vegetables like asparagus I'm not so fond of.

The Amish do know what they're doing when it comes to farming.

whos gonna grow the tobacco though guys

>implying we want to grow a crop that requires the govn't getting a cut for "sin tax"

we arent selling it man

Just kidding, I don't smoke but I don't care if others want to grow tobacco.

fuck

Raising meal worms is another good cheap source of food for chickens.

Order meal worm eggs online, put in a plastic container of oats, allow to reproduce, add more oats and take out excess meal worms. easy peasy.

Fish farming I think would be a great idea.

Another great source of protein.

Looks like I'm out for the night take care gents.

Would be nice to have 1 ha dedicated to wheat

Common wheat (Triticum aestivum), nothing special, we just need it for the flour and maybe beer(?)

@Mitere wheat berries

Hey guys, as someone who eats about 80% of my families diet from the homestead we have, you want a variety of what is called "staple" crops, ie- potatoes, sweet potatoes, wheat, oats, barley, corn, ect..anything with a higher calorie count. Keep chickens, goats, sheep, and cows-working up in that order. Focus on eggs, and dairy goats. I live in NC, and want to settle back in Oklahoma or Texaa, but am trying to support your movement in any way possible. Let me know what homestead knowledge you need, from a guy who lives in a neighborhood right now of 15 or so like minded folks in about a 100 acre community

@jjii Welcome lad

Get what's the discord code again?

People are asking for it on the general back at /pol/

Welcome new arrivals

hi

hey

Ello lads

hey

Sorry it seems most everyone east of California is asleep already, but welcome, glad to have you. Feel free to look through the channels and get a feel for what we're about.

Hey. Just joined from /pol/. I'm still reading through everything.

eh im in nyc and its dark

👌🏻 Feel free to bring up any questions you might have

i'm in nyc too it's so great :^)

oh cool what borough are you in im in mahattan

NYC bro you may also be interested in the Maine group

same i'm in ues

i'm from maine, do you have info on the group?

well the maine group was eh

i'm only in this cesspool for college

maine is filled with communists tho

Does anyone have a map of the area that is the targeted to move to? Not too into the PNW. This is more ideal, I'm from NY (FL now) and more familiar with everything up there.

We do, sorry most everyone is asleep but we can definitely fill you in on the proposed locations and specific sites we have in mind.

No worries. I also like the idea being more close-knit than PNW being spread out so much.

I Lived through Communist Romania AMA

how much do you despise communism

Did your (great)grandfather serve in Barbarossa?

on a scale from 1 to 10 I would say 11

My grandfather was Hungarian, part of the Hungarian minority in Romania, became a political prisoner after the war

he served on the western front

Better dead than red

Glad to have you, feel free to look around the channels and acquaint yourself with our community. It's the graveyard shift right now but things should pick up in the morning.

indeed better dead than red, but if you have to die be sure to bring 10 of them with you.

Well, you sure sound like a Hungarian! 👌🏻

thanks! I hope my the Hun - Ro in-fights dwindle so we can focus on the important issues.

Yes, us eastern europeans harbor too much hate for our own people

i know there is bad blood between some of us but we have bigger problems to deal with

we have to realize that each and every nation has traitors, some times traitors take control. and we must not hate a whole nation because the actions of traitors.

it is upon the next generation to solve these issues (the bad blood)

agreed

so are you guys building a cognitive elite here or what?

inb4 what is cognitive elite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hWl8jq4zLI

I haven't been here very long, but we are working towards an enthostate.

Read through faq and about in the channels

you need a strategy

will do

summarizes our intentions and plans pretty well

^

Also pop in tomorrow morning when everyone is here, they'd love to fill you in on sum of our progress

can't promise I'm too old for this but will try

any contribution towards the goal is appreciated, we can always use your knowledge, experiences and such

I have lived through interesting times and have much to share, but don't know where to start that's why the AMA

I will open another beer

Many people on the server are asleep right now (middle of the night for the US). An ama later would have a lot more participants.

This ^^^ The younger members would love to hear your stories and insights I'm certain.

alright

in the mean time i'll give a few tips

I am always happy to hear my elders stories. My grandparents lived through WW2 and my parents lived through communist rule in Poland so I have heard a few

at least in Romania the main weapon when everything else was outlawed we used jokes and sarcasm

by word of mouth

we did it until the point that everyone knew if you were member of the police (or secret police, securitate) you were laughed at behind doors

it is also a surviving mechanism

at some point none of the cool guys wanted to join anymore and they had a brain drain

For example in a state where everything was wiretapped we had jokes like:

1. Father writes letter to son:
Dear son please come visit me home, I need your help in the garden to dig out that old three. It's very hard work.
2. Letter from son:
Dear father please don't dig out that tree remember all the documents we buried underneath it in the middle of the night.
3. Father letter to son:
I don't know what the hell you are talking about my son. We never buried any documents, but you no longer need to come the securitate (secret police) came and dug the tree out.

kek, thats pretty good

use their own power against them, to waste their resources until they are weakened. and in the mean time have fun so you don't waste energy.

My grandmother said, there has never been a song that lasted forever.

meaning never give up. you will outlast anything they have against you.

alright, beer is gone. see you next time.

Just got code from Pol

@white sharia mobster is always welcome
