85 Recipes For Home Canning: {Fruits & Vegetables}

Great Example of a Tiny House

The Tiny House movement has grown in the last decade and is indicative of the current shift towards self sustainability due to our ever troubled economy.

People all over the nation (and many places abroad) are opting against or giving up their unnecessarily huge houses (and mortgage payments) to be able to live a debt free and sustainable lifestyle.

Now my take on it is a little different than what the people at the link below have done, but not by much. I like the idea of smaller, easily maintained domiciles, however I think the below 100 sq. ft. cabins on trailers would be too much of a stretch for me (although I wouldn't require much more.)

But have a look at what the Rowdy Kittens have done with their Tiny House, you will be amazed!

The Energy Lie (Suppression of Technological Evolution)

Click to View: The Energy Lie (Suppression of Technological Evolution)

A good site to read up on about how and why the powers that be are actively suppressing green technologies to keep us all enslaved to big oil, big electric, coal, and more. And on a similar note; you should learn all you can about the late great Nikola Tesla, he was the true father of Technology,  many of the devices you take granted today wouldn't be possible without Tesla. His likeness was even included in a popular movie not to long ago, it was a good flick too! Make sure you check out "The Prestige."

Shipping Container As An Underground Shelter

Wow! This person built a great looking underground shelter for not too much money (considering the task), and turned it into a wine cellar (they must love wine!) But these ideas can also be used to make a fallout shelter, hidden panic room or somewhere to hide your gold and guns! LOL

Historic Shed Cottage

The TinyHouseBlog is a great inspiration for those that want to build their tiny dream home today! Just consider how much a home costs even in this downed economy. Imagine simply buying a little plot of land in a rural area and starting your own Tiny House Project, maybe at first it will only be a vacation or weekend home, but you may find that it could be a new lifestyle waiting for you, and you would have done it for a lot less than the cost of a traditional home.

Ditch Big Brother and Disappear Forever

Alot of good info here on how to get it started. However, you would really REALLY need to be determined to stay off any radar of any sort which, these days, is almost impossible. I think there is a "happy medium" that you should try to reach in this endeavor. A good start would be determining your need for credit cards, social networks, and governmental services. I like the ideas here but find them impractical in our modern age.

My focus would be to get rid of my credit cards, minimize my usage of financial institutions, because truthfully, the tiny bit of interest you gain in most banks these days is not worth your time; better to just keep your cash in a very good safe - oh, and get some guns and firearm education to protect yourself!

NEVER use any actual information on any social network! No phone numbers, photos, addresses, etc. Even your friends list can link you to people you may not even consider your friend. I like the section that is titled "Lie, Lie and Lie Some More", it makes sense.
