Learned how to chop wood today
Doing a light version of the cabin in the woods thing ("F*** this city! I'm gonna go live in a cabin in the woods!")
Interestingly enough I am doing this cause I'm a musician and need a place where I won't bother anyone with my noise. Two birds one feeder, as the saying goes
Haven't heard the phrase, "two birds, one feeder," but I am partial to "feeding two birds with one scone."
Oooh, that's much better! I'll be using that!
Maybe learn Vietnamese. They fought the French, the US, China, and Cambodia one after the other, and won. They must know some shit.
That or Dari. Afghans might know a thing or two
Damn, really sounds like you were just listing off all the traits of Anarchism
Not just their professional trades. Cultivate skills. Cooking, repair, gardening, etc.
Guns and bunkers would help at first though
If you aren't armed and prepared to defend yourself and your community, you are just gathering resources and slaves for the people that are armed and want your stuff and want to turn you into slaves or corpses.
America 😬
Is that a fish smoking a cigarette? With its eye?
Yes? So what? Don't your fish do that?
Establishing a community garden is a lot of fun actually. We have one in our house but it is not very big so you basically get a single vegetable every now and then but the whole working with the ground, keeping the irrigation system intact is soothing.
Where I live we have a CSA farm (Community-owned agriculture). You can join the coop to get a weekly share of veg and either do a day's work on the farm each week, or pay an amount each month. It's honestly amazing, it feels like I've hacked the system. I get cheap, organic veg grown less than a mile away and harvested the day before I collect it and it's upskilling and connecting the local community.
yeah, that's very cool. there is nothing more satisfying than planting a bunch of seeds, watching them grow - you start to notice how much stuff they go through. It took me about two and a half months to get my first batch of plum tomatoes and just holding one of them in my hand felt like i just did something right.
Oh yeah, that's an amazing feeling! No tomato ever tastes as good as the one first one you grow and pick.
yeah, it ruined supermarket tomatoes forever for me - after a while you can almost taste the chemistry in them.
Sorry about that, being in a usa school shell shocked me a little too much on active shooting events.
Here I was hoping for a MF Doom reference. That said, in a doomsday scenario wouldn't your biggest threats be the neighbors you have? If you needed tools that don't break easily that's no big deal, but if you have something sensitive that's pretty risky to share (a pick axe is less critical than a generator for example). A community garden would be good, but if one of your neighbors is a self absorbed sociopath they would probably raid the community garden. Why do you need to learn to sew and patch when every department store probably has a life time worth of extra clothes? For self defense it's hard to argue against having a bunch of guns. For first aid, outside of administering it to yourself and your close network offense is the best defense. In an actual doomsday scenario it's much easier to shoot first and ask questions later than it is to mend wounds on yourself and others.
I'm all for a post apocalyptic socialist commune, but all it takes is one nut job for the peaceful socialist commune to turn into a fascist dictatorship. Unless everyone you know is of the same sociopolitical opinion as you, or if there are no guns around, then I'd still be stacking up guns if I could.
