TRIP REPORT on Dome Work on Other Property:

What an ADVENTURE!

Won’t go into explanation but Adam and I took our own rigs….LOADED with To-Do needs.  Both DEAD BEAT SLEEPY, but went anyway Friday evening.  “Lost” Adam’s rig and had to park it MILES from domesite.

Got LOST trying to locate a DETOUR sign that WORKED!  Back and Forth looking.  Didn’t get there till 1:00 AM!  Maybe 2 1/2  hrs MORE then normal.

A 3rd joined us.

Set up camp.  I slept in my pickup.  They on ground.

Anyway, after SOME sleep we  went back to Adams pickup and brought it up.  THEN started looking for land to buy (Adam).  So, Saturday nearly WASTED. Not totally tho.  The 2 got SUPER BUSY.  Had to cut weeds SO TALL they went to Adam’s HEAD (over 6 ft tall).  Had to do to GET TO THE DOME!  Adam learned how to use a SCYTHE while Tom (the other) used my weed eater.  BEAUTFUL JOB!  Looks darn near like a Park now.  PTL!

Then moved the Dog Kennel in the spot that I needed.  This to be the wall “framing” for our kitchen.  Left a Walk-In GAP between this and dome…SET A LARGE BATHROOM area there.  Nothing Small about it.  Then did a “quicky” WOOD SHED dome. TEMP for now.  Frame only.

I added more Heat Collecting Stones to both sides and back of the small woodstove as Tom connected wire mesh.  Still not fully done but only a SMALL amount to finish That (next trip).

Adam left early Sunday,  a LOOONG drive.  11 or more hours and had to work next day. Tom took on the extra “load”.  Did a HECK of a job!

Me? Mostly SAT and “ordered” Both of ‘em.  Leg stove in…and back.  Easier to Supervise then “do”.  Aho? THESE TWO GUYS WERE WONDERFUL!  Missed day or not, LOTS DONE in but a few hours.

They made a SUPER Camp set-up too.  BIG Lean-To Tarp…my fire pit in front.  NEVER TOOK PICTURES OF THIS (darn it).  REAL “early FUR GATHERER set up.  PRIMITIVE but RIGHT AT “HOME”.

The 2 took turns putting out some FANTASTIC Meals!  Me?: “SUPERVISED”.  ( :

Anyway, no covering BUT ONLY HOURS FROM DOING SO!

Took up more tarps.  Should be Enough IF NO BIG HOLES.

Anyway, stopped in our local town to fill the tank.  On my home..leaving just some change and $16.00.

But I’m HOME!..I GOT UP THERE!  And we GOT an ENORMOUS AMOUNT DONE!  A TOTAL SUCCESS!

Want all to understand:  this trip would have been IMPOSSIBLE without the PRAYERS sent up and the DONATIONS sent.  THANK YOU ALL FOR WHAT YOU MADE POSSIBLE!

Oh, before closing: saw some NICE “For Sale” property at this SAFE site.  20 acres per at $30,900.00 per.  WILDERNESS THO!  You’d need to be VERY serious to live in MOST of these spots.  Darn near “Mountain Man” living..  With a FAMILY, HARD !  Alone? HARD!

Interested?   re

CROP REPORT

Filed Under : Alternative Living,Death,Health Tips,Medicine Man,prophecy,Red Elk Speaks,survival skills,Tellings by Whale Sister
Sep.22,2010

This area is a big Food Supplier…both Beef and Crops.  It also holds one of Washington State’s largest crop Food Processing plants.  Twin City Foods, Inc.  My wife works there. Many years, now.

Here the Plant is filled with a diversity of general laborers.  Mostly Mexicans. Asians next.

We get along well with both. To the point we get FIELD WORKER’S reports…as well as on Plant Production. MUCH “INSIDE” INFORMATION.  Aho?

What is shared is “scary.”  WE ARE IN TROUBLE!

Corn production (the Plant’s main processing) is DRASTICALLY DOWN.  And I MEAN drastically!

NO LONGER BUYING FARMERS’ CROPS in ALL surrounding (as well as our own) counties.

Peas THE SAME.

Lima Beans….Ditto.

The Mexican migrant field workers tell their people what’s happing in various crops they work in…USA wide.  THINGS “WE” DONT KNOW (as yet).

Sugar and other beets WAY DOWN.  Asparagus: WAY DOWN.  GRAPES: “Terrible output.”  Carrots (one of TCFs main crops)….Way, WAY, down.

Citrus (oranges / etc.) “REALLY HURTING.”  Strawberries: Down “by a lot.”

As all are surely aware…BEES ARE NOT DOING WELL.  (One small Company HERE…that makes Bee Boxes…(and MANY years in this), has HAD TO CLOSE!  (I know the owner…”No Bees, No NEED for boxes.”)  Aho?

The list goes on and on.

I even get ‘tellings’ from people from around the world…THEY TOO Telling of CROP FAILURES!

Friends, we “ain’t doing well.”  Aho?

AND MUCH NOT YET BEING MADE PUBLIC!

We (world) are HURTING.  BAD Hurting!

Main reason: WEATHER.

According to my “Great Vision”….INSECTS WILL BE YET ANOTHER “reason”.

Ok, telling.  Now up to you on what you can do for yourself and your family.    PREPARE!  (and NOT for just MONTHS….but YEARS!).   re

I’m NOT KIDDING (not a ‘pun”)….TODAY, for SOME, this MAY be a WISE Form of transportation.

Sending this TO MAKE YOU THINK!

EAT your “Auto” if needed, as well.

Dogs   . goats…NOT JUST HORSES have made Draft Animals for CENTURIES.

I’ve ran sled dogs…winter sled / summer cart.

A local 4-Her boy uses goats. An ADULT here uses his PET BISON!

I’ve used our pet OXEN (before eating).

Can’t see much hope tho, with a “herd” of Chihuahuas.  sigh

You can use A dog (or more) to pull you on BIKE (Check “search”)  OR Foot Scooter.

Before horses the NA used Dogs to TRAVOIS their household makings.

In short…THINK ANIMAL POWER!   Re

Drums

Filed Under : Alternative Living,Medicine Man,Red Elk Speaks,Spiritual Matters,Tellings by Whale Sister

For various reasons, occasionally I get an Email  “re, I need a drum  (NA tone).”

They can be found on line…but generally are rather pricey.

$$ bad enough….but TONE even WORSE.

Until you receive you’ll have No Idea if it sounds like a “wet sack” or not as “deep” as you’d like.

The HIDE and SIZE is the deciding factor.

I find TOO SMALL makes more a THUMP noise….easier to take about, but…..

A 12 or 14 in. diameter works well in traveling / storing. Once you go to 20 in. and up…Not as easy….but BETTER TONE.  Aho?

For the DEEPEST tone, I prefer SHEEP HIDE…..its a THIN Hide tho.

I still prefer this over other hides. (But that’s MY “taste”)

I have Sheep / Beef / Buffalo / Elk / Horse /COYOTE.  The last is SUPER THIN….you just don’t store it…you “Pack” it.  CAREFULLY!  NOT a recommended hide (IF you can FIND one).

There are “Eskimo” drums…VERY Thin frame….a Whole Different sound.

Even “hides” using AIRCRAFT Fabric…and Others (as above) in-between.

Thus, IF you can actually VISIT the various types and TRY ‘em….often you are “taking a chance”.  Aho?

If you think ALL you need is a drum…THINK AGAIN!  You’ll need a “drum Stick,” aka the “pounder,” as well.

These TOO come in different type striking ends.  From VERY Stiff to SUPER Soft.  Each producing the “depth” of sound you want.

I use a number…”depending.”

One, VERY UNUSUAL, is a RUBBER GLOVE!  Filled finger tips (marbles / etc.).  SOUNDS LIKE 5 ARE STRIKING!  Various weights in each finger makes each beat SOUND LIKE AN ECHO!   (LOVE IT!)  This was my 5 yr. old GRANDSON’S (Sky) idea!  ( :

BUT…the CHEAPEST Drum…the EASIEST to carry, is a 2 LITER PLASTIC POP BOTTLE!  Take off the lid…cradle in one arm (in a manner that makes the most noise) and TAP WITH YOUR FINGER(S)!

I use this ALOT.  Doesn’t disturb the family.  I simply go in another room and have my “time.”  Aho?  I also use this in my Pickup…AND on MANY “Night Time Prayer time” in the wilderness.  SO QUIET IT DOES NOT DRAW UNWANTED COMPANY!

Once, using in a camp-out with a sleeper in his bag right beside me….he VERY slowly awoke.  THOUGHT I had a RADIO ON…LOW VOLUME!  (He now does the same).

Cheap enough for YOU to try.  Aho?

Be closing : NA Drumheads…IF too DAMP are “tightened” via holding over a fire (not TO close!).   If Too TIGHT….we WET it (water on hand and rubbed in).  If too Wet we also rub CORN MEAL on it (absorbs the over abundance) of dampness water).  Aho?

Anyway…hope this helps those interested.    re

Bunnies – Not Just for Pets

Filed Under : Alternative Living,Family,survival skills by Whale Sister
A personal question:  Any “out here” raise MEAT RABBITS?
Am considering doing so for this small family (of 4).  Tired of chicken and hamburger.  Would like some variety.  Aho?
THINKING N.Z. breed.  3 to 5 does.  HOW MANY will each produce?  Will ONE Buck be sufficient?  Or?

Any advice?  Better breeds?  Etc.?
In advance, Thank You.   re

A Telling. One NOT “Real”…but IS. (You’ll see)

Filed Under : Alternative Living,Medicine Man,prophecy,Red Elk Speaks,Short Stories,Tellings by Whale Sister
Sep.13,2010

The Old man was at a conference.  One filled with men and women of Science and High Government and High Business people.

Speaker after Speaker taking turns.  Lauding their Accomplishments.  Telling how, if it wasn’t for THEM, we wouldn’t have what we have today.  Planes / Moon Travel / Space exploration / Cars / Roads / TV / PCs…. and on and on and on.  All patting their own back and the backs of the others. All with the “LOOK what WE have Done!!!  What accomplishments we of Science and Companies and Government help and backing…have done For THE WHOLE WORLD!”

Towards the end, the old one requested to speak.  “YES, by ALL MEANS!”

He went to the podium, filled with mikes.

“I see what you have done. (He said)….INDEED…LOOK WHAT MANKIND HAS DONE!  Now we can travel in HOURS across our Earth….in what may have taken Days…or even Weeks!

Thanks to you of Science, the “world” is at our fingertips!  We can, THANKS TO YOU, now simply pick up a phone or go to our Personal Computer!

It is FANTASTIC!!

THANK YOU!”

This brought a roll of applause.

“Indeed…LOOK AT WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!”

(Again, applause and big smiles).

The old one continued:   “With this technology, We now have POLLUTION / DYING FORESTS / DEAD and Dying Seas /  Less Food grown / MASSES DYING from Starvation and Weather Exposure and lack of Clean Air and on and on.

YOU have done WELL!

Each “doing” needing our Earths natural Resources to MAKE these ‘WONDERFUL’ things.

At the rate ‘Technology’ is going…40 TREES in a “togetherness Group” will be called a “Forest”.  In time, even THOSE fenced off and be called a MUSEUM !  LIVING PROOF of what earth USED to have…OVER ITS WHOLE Width and Breadth!

YES!  LOOK what “we” (motioning to the auditorium filled with “Praise Givers”) have DONE!

I tell you true we are HERE, not because what you have done that makes us so “GOOD”…but because of  what you have done to Make us     So          BAD!”

Sep.11,2010
Several hours working on Adam’s dome.  Moving stove to wall…insulating wall, chimney out the side..  What we expected to take perhaps 2 / 2 to 3 hours…well…STILL not done.
I had told him to get 3 more lengths of chimney pipe….got ONE!  No where NEAR the hight to clear the top of dome and away from domes “wind eddies”.  BACKFLUSH…SMOKE!  So much for THIS trip!  Will b 2 -3 wks before he can “do” again.
The hole in wall was not big enough….Tarp and Cloth got     H O T !    Hadda water and stop the stove’s fire   FAST.  Had told him “not big enough”.   Is now.

And now a very contrite brother.
He’s “down”.  Told him “You learn by your mistakes…then pass that learning on…so NO Mistakes!”
Reader:
Let this be a lesson to YOU.  And “PRAISE GOD in ALL things”.  Aho?   re

Living Off the Grid

Filed Under : Alternative Living,dome home,Gnome Home,Hobbit Hut,Medicine Man,Red Elk Speaks,Skydome,survival skills by Whale Sister

“LIVING OFF THE GRID”

Do you REALLY understand what That MEANS?!

It means SOLAR Panels / WIND / PROPANE /  GENERATOR / BATTERIES /  FUEL…and more.

Have you PRICED these things !?

AND WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN Parts and Replacements and Fuel goes into NON-EXISTENT, or SO HIGH in Cost, YOU CANT “GET”!

THIS is EXACTLY WHAT THIS NATION IS ABOUT TO FACE!

Our Ancestors managed.  No matter WHAT “race”.

STUDY THOSE WAYS!

I’M GETTING “HOARSE”  SCREAMING in the “Wilderness!”

GET OFF YOUR BUTTS and DO!    re

Getting Away From It All

Filed Under : Alternative Living,Creator,dome home,Family,Gnome Home,Hobbit Hut,Red Elk Speaks,Spiritual Matters,survival skills,Tellings by Whale Sister

I am so MUCH wanting to move up to our (shared) other land.

Will TRY to get up there the end of this month to work more on the dome there.  LOUSY time to go….but NEED TO.  Aho?

If I had a SPARE $4,000.00 I would by a particular 4-season tent and “start” there.

I    would, but would my WIFE (‘M’ – WS)?  Or even would C (daughter) “release” Sky to me / or “change” so HE could move too?  VERY doubtful!

I want him OUT of the School System.  GED via Home Schooling (as we did with C)…or, frankly,  JUST PLAIN STOP ANY SCHOOLING.  That’s what I’D like, anyway. (I feel school is useless AFTER learning the BASICS).  WILDCRAFTING needed to be learned NOW.  Public School = JOB(s)….but SOON even THOSE will be nearly IMPOSSIBLE….ADULTS will be LUCKY to have a Job…let alone “newbies” entering into a “WORK” job.

M puts too Much into HEALTH Insurance.  NOT “GOD TRUST Insurance”.

Anyway, keeps her tied down to the “system” due to this way of thinking.  In that, it means $$$$$ to STAY right here to “Have Insurance.”   sigh

Daughter would NOT move….don’t WANT HER there UNTIL SHE “GROWS” anyway….tho that means Sky will be MADE to stay here.  sigh

Wife wouldn’t move considering C and Sky as well (I suppose).

DANG!

I’m in a dilemma…and DON’T LIKE IT!

M is a HOARDER.  SAVES ALMOST EVERYTHING.  WANTS it ALL UP THERE WITH US!  NO concept of REAL “stripped down” living.

I, on the other hand, “hoard” what I NEED to continue my “work.”  HAVE ALOT…mostly tho : just “THINGS.”

Shoot, don’t even want a COMPUTER….OR even a PHONE!   Can (and WILL) simply GIVE AWAY….Sell or Toss Out OR WALK AWAY.  (Been that way for a Long Time).

I’ve done so…simply WALKED AWAY.  So KNOW I can (and WILL) do so once again.

Went from a HOUSE to a TiPi…Went from a CONDEMNED House in the woods to a CAR.  CAN AGAIN.  But CAN’T with family obligations here.  DANG!

MANY will (and some are NOW)  (be) facing the same “change”.

NOT EASY, is it Folks!?

I TRUST THE CREATOR….Wife SAYS she does.  Doesn’t SHOW it tho.   TOO “Clingy.”      sigh

May HAVE to “break away”….to get the other place Ready.  In time, ALL “mine” WILL at least have a “place” to go to.  EVEN IF A TENT.

Wish I had MUCH MORE LAND up there…to HELP Others “park” for a bit.  Don’t, so…..

As it is, we are spending a “fortune” JUST TO STAY RIGHT HERE! (And BARELY ABLE TO PAY OUR BILLS, TO do so).

“Slaves” to the “system”.

Well, my “woes” are MINE.  Others have NO land to go to.  NO place to “park”.  At least in that, I’m “lucky.”

I’ve been telling…for OVER 10 FULL YEARS to “prepare”.  NOW getting PANIC Emails.

TOUGH, folks!  YOU PAYED NO ATTENTION when you COULD!

Now you are STUCK in your “worries”.  I’ve done what I could AND YOU DID AS YOU PLEASED.  Now, “Pay the Piper!”

Sound harsh?  Well, I TRIED.  SHOULDA PAID ATTENTION!  Aho?

In MY future, I CAN get by on my SS $$.  And If THAT peters out, I CAN LIVE “on the LAND”.  When THAT gives out, I can DIE

I AM NOT AFRAID TO DO ANY OF THESE THINGS!

Are YOU?    re
