reminds me of this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3J5wkJFJzE

i know fertilizer derived from human feces is used in the US, however its only allowed for growing cattle feed and other things not directly consumed by humans

compost, okay

If you want to use human feces, put it in a compost bin with food waste and some worms

Give it multiple months to process

It sucks living in an apartment for all of this ): can't grow much of anything

*Aha*

Aha?

Right channel. 😏

Aha

If you want to grow stuff inside, keep an aquarium. You can use the water from it to grow stuff in a bed of gravel. The fish fertilize the crop, and the crop filters the water

What type of stuff would you suggest growing? I only have a studio apartment unfortunately

Start with herbs

Cilantro, chives

And a small aquarium with some goldfish or koi

is there any vegetables that would grow well in places like indiana?

How would you suggest making the gravel pit? Like what sort of frame?

I've got carpet so it can't be on the floor

Just a small Tupperware container will work fine

You'll want some sitting water just below the level of the gravel

Would dirt/soil work as well, as opposed to the fish tank?

It's called aquaponics farming

It would. The appeal of the fish tank is that its cleaner for inside

But a little box with soil would work fine too

Alright! Tomorrow I'll go the store and look around a bit and see what I can find. I'll keep you all updated

One problem with the soil however- you have to make sure it stays fertile

How would you test for that?

That part I'm not sure about

Well, what makes soul fertile?

nutrients in the soil

nitrates

all kinds of stuff

I just have a few worms and food waste

It goes a long way for keeping it fertile

Hrmm, rotting food and worms inside an apartment don't sound like the smartest idea...

At least if I don't want to have to keep my window open 24/7

If you keep the food buried, the smell isn't very noticeable. But I might just not notice it anymore

You can just buy fertilizer for this sort of thing at Lowes

True. Would Home Depot or Lowes be a good place to start looking for this kind of stuff?

i'm gonna see if i can try and build a shed or something as a summer project

Yeah

to store fertilizer in

and general

farming supplies

I usually get stuff for my diy projects from Home Depot and Lowes. Anything they don't have I just go to amazon for

Where would you suggest looking for Herbs to grow?

Home Depot sells little bags with seeds in them

Lowes probably does too

Alright, I'll go looking tomorrow. Thanks Bradley!

I'm thinking about doing more peas, but a lot of potatoes next year 😄

Maybe sweet potatoes 🤔

i fucking

love potatoes

Taters are neat 😄

I love making hash browns

Oho, noooow I know what to make for lunch tommorow!

I just made sandwiches for lunch today, but I think we have some potatoes in the fridge 👀

i might try my hand at homemade potato pancakes

once i grow some potatoes

Sounds spicy

*Very spicy* 🤔

I might try to make pancakes, or bread, with my quitch-flour 😄

Once I get around to actually turning it into flour

awesome

i've always been looking for motivation

because i barely have any

but i feel like i've finally found something

with this and /esg/

i've found my calling

Very nice! 😃

I don't really know about my motivation, it's something like "If I don't do this my dreams won't come true" and thus my dreams enable me to push harder and what not

i've just hit a point in my life

where i feel like i should have *some* motivation

Remember, motivation is a false god. True success comes from determination

Nah I've found that the middleground is best

Like sure doing something because you're determined to do it and your standard is "it gets done", but it becomes a lot better when you're motivated to do it

As long as you don't *depend* on motivation

So

What is the exact plan, as far as this specific channel?

Anything homesteading/prepper/survival related.

Ah I see

What's the general then for overall discussion?

Yeah, anything that doesn't fit in the other channels I suppose.

this is for stuff like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vuMSoQzYfs

Oh my bad, survival stuff would go in <#359944897676967946> .

i guess it depends on the type of survival

Probably should just merge these.

im worried about too many overlapping conversations

Well, most discussion in one is applicable to the other.

Doesn't really matter either way.

Zennex17, to answer your question from the sig chat: it's a new hobby for me and I haven't harvested anything yet. But I think that lettuce in the pic is about ready and it's been ~3 weeks since the seeds sprouted from the rockwool.

Only the self-sufficient man is free

here's the website for their kit. https://emergencywaterwell.com/product-category/diy-water-well-kits/

Anyone know anything about bovines?

Anyone have any experience with family milk cows, on the topic of self-sufficiency?

Not much, I knew some folks that had a milk cow. They also had a couple goats and said that the goats ended up producing more milk for their size than the cow.

It depends on the cow, cow's age and feed. Personaly I perfer more animals because it minimizes the chance of catastophry. http://www.backwoodshome.com/bovine-basics-for-beginners/
P.S. did you know that there are dairy sheep breeds.

sheep milk

what

Sheep herding would give the ladies plenty of work and generate a nice income for the community

yeah

maybe putting up our best livestock for studding

Anyone know anything about sheep?

not really tbh

also here's a bit of something on agriculture if we decide on mossy rock

https://agr.wa.gov/aginwa/

I know orchards are huge in WA and OR

What sort of orchards?

Christmas tree farming?

im not sure what particular fruits they grow

Wew cozy

no, fruit trees

Apples?

yeah

def apples

Damn we could found a fashy cider brewry lol

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mqqf3LTydJo

the image i just posted comes from my link

Apple orchards.. That's a god-tier life

Berries too, again lots of products we could make with those harvests

All natural too

yea

Lady and child friendly work too, picking apples and berries

I want to brew alcohol someday

theres something really comfy about it

i want to raise good, white children who understand work ethic

who work around the house

literally only thing i want

On the subject of homeschooling

but yeah alcohol brewing might be fun

We can get away with not having a (((school))) in our community if we all do it

And yeah I like the idea of a brewery. Folkish work and will generate income.

or we can simply build a private school

^

otherwise rural schools are still much more redpilled than urban ones

As long as we don't have to worry about "teacher, daddy is a nazi and so are all my neighbors"

*knock knock* child services

https://youtu.be/0_pj4cz2VJM

Also, anyone seen this? Super cheap, easy money, will help other crops

oh wow

beehives

I would definitely put a few of these up

forgot about those

This design used artificial combs for the bees

No more smoking them to get the honey

Now more killing bees by breaking the honeycombs

The honey flows right out of a fucking tap!

Just watch the video

au naturale

i love it

We can build schools and have our own teachers

maybe the parents could teach a basis for the child to work off of

I'm going for management and teaching in uni

a teaching degree

huh

Ye

nice

I have a teaching degree

I'd rather do real work

But I guess that's an option

For their sakes

Not using state books tho

hehe

Because I dont think homeschooling is good.

honestly the main reason (((they))) can so easily brainwash children is because the parents fail to get to their own children first and instil proper virtues and morals

Better than sending them to holocaust and slavery school though

i feel like modern parents have just lost their ability to instill virtues and morals

and instead just push equality onto them

Our people did fine without schools until the 1920's

or put the responsibility of parenting on those teachers

or the TV

or the media

in general

which is why we have so many wigger children i'm p sure

only care about money

It is

Rich white kids and media with pop music

So here's the question. If, as a community, we all specialize in one area (one person is a shepherd, another orchardman, another wheat, etc) we'd be more dependent upon each other, but it'd probably be more efficient than everyone managing a little of everything. Is this a desirable outcome?

sounds good to me

We'd need to know the numbers and specializations of people beforehand, though, that way we're not setting a potato farmer on a mountainside.

Absolutely

Run it like a medieval fiefdom, but without the king -- everyone has a role

https://youtu.be/0_pj4cz2VJM

I'm so obsessed with these things.. It's really a marvel

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLgvtTQPJTY
most of these points can be applied to goats as well.

their wool

would be nice

yeah, I don't think cotton would be possible in the PNW

And again, wool harvesting and processing is women-friendly work, which is a plus in the long run

Wool if marketed correctly can be sold to people for crafts.

Excellent. We could even make them into crafts ourselves to sell.

Set up weaver shops and what not for the women

could wool possibly be used as natural insulators

for homes?

no, moths eat wool.

if you like fire, i guess

Wool doesn't burn.

Doesn't it rot though?

they also make a fattier milk. This is great for making cheeses.

I've been lied to by my home ec teacher from middle school then

I watched a guy drunkenly fall into a fire before, the only reason he didn't go the ER is because he had a wool jacket on it and it saved his skin. Literally.

Wool is good for fabrics, crafts, etc. It's also naturally more waterproof than many other fabrics, and is flame-resistant.

It'd be good for making water filters

I shouldn't say "Doesn't burn" as pretty much anything will burn, but wool is a protein fiber according to google, which makes it burn very slowly.

@K_Wagner Wool has lanolin that makes it waterproof. the reason wool clothes get wet is because we remove it when we clean wool.

And like Nix said, wool doesn't absorb water like cotton or other materials.

Wool isn't cheap to make. Using it for insulation isn't the first place you want to put it.

There's a reason almost every army in the world at one time issued Wool jackets to their soldiers.

@MKUltra agreed, it's still better used for clothing than insulation

Flame resistant. And no, water filters are better with sand and charcoal. Wool is much better in socks and heavy costs, especially in PNW.

^

coats* stupid autocorrect

Straw would make a better insulator, though you need to change it from time to time to avoid mildew.

Like thatch roofs.

Honestly, snow is its own insulator.

Not to mention the houses should be sturdy to begin with. If you absolutely must have insulation, straw or pine needles work, or shredded bark.

Really though, the best insulation is a well-made house. At least as far as I understand.

the really nice thing about sheep and goats is that it's easy to downsize is feeding them becomes a problem. You can kill a few and still have herd. the same can't be said for cows.

*if

Well, the house itself acts as a barrier from the ice and snow. Thick walls make it harder for the outside cold to get in. Insulation helps actually keep the heat in, better insulation, less wood or propane you have to burn to heat the house.

@dmac100 agreed, and you can raise many more sheep and goats per acre than cows.

For starters, animals smaller than bovine would be a good idea.

@Mitere the first few "houses" will be log cabins, so mud in between the logs will probably be our insulation.

That will increase rot and pests.

Pitch could be used.

But that increases fires. Used throughout history.
