food bank surplus

FOOD BANK SURPLUS

As I’ve said often ( but then, I say a lot of stuff often ), our food bank locally is one of the few blessed.  As most across the country are faced with bare shelves and shrinking budgets, ours is groaning under the weight of many and varied kinds of slop ( I’m sure our budget don’t look great, but that’s above my pay grade ).  Yesterday was a slow donation pick-up day and I got 1300 pounds of food ( Monday, surely a record, I picked up 4700.  Our secret is, it’s all perishable ).  Now, I know this can’t last.  We have an overabundance of grocery stores, a currently “good” economy ( was great, soon to be utter crap if the mines continue the barely glimpsed decline ) and a small town attitude ( the regular po folk are generous as usual, the rich twats are currently generous out of guilt ).  If any of this changes, our donations will wither.  I’m not necessarily opposed to this, as I’m killing myself here, but I also understand Job Security is never easy ( nor necessarily ever compensated, but that is another story ). 

*

When someone comes in for a food box, I try to give them what I would myself want.  I’ve been in their situation before.  I could give them their six thousand calories ( three days worth of food- ours are emergency boxes only as Food Stamps are long term.  No organization privately could feed this many people on a regular basis.  Although, they can eat at our soup kitchen which is one meal a day, nearly 2k calories in itself.  Those with the money need only pay $2.  I don’t know if we could scale that up if working folks started frequenting it, but I doubt it ) in compact form, a jar of peanut butter and a can of stew and chili with three loaves of bread would about cover it.  But I try to give them complete meals without too much processed crap.  Raw meat, rice, that kind of thing.  Wholesome meals, and filling, with sweets and comfort food as extra calories rather than the bulk of calories.  I figure with a few pounds of meat and some flour and rice, a big family can eat pretty good.  Well, as we all know, most people wouldn’t be able to pour piss out of a boot with the instructions on the heel.  Welcome to the end result of public education and subsidized ghetto breeding.  I understand when they don’t know what to do with a bag of flour.  What gets me is when they don’t want it.

*

Folks are returning food to me all the time.  Oh, I already have some of these.  Seniors are always giving me back FedGov food ( and they are the ones screaming the loudest for bennies ).  A family of four returns a big bag of flour to me.  They already have one.  So friggin what?!  Are you here because you ran out of food?  What if it happens again?  You dumbass!  That’s a few extra days food, if you ever need it.  And these ain’t backwoods inbred hillbillies, just regular people from working poor families.  But dumber than a box of rocks.  The food fairy will never let them go hungry, I guess.

survival magazines

SURVIVAL MAGAZINES

I read my three Kindle survival magazines last night and I shall now enlighten and illuminate your ignorance ( not that you are stupid, after all you are reading me- no, you simply weren’t dumb enough to spend $10 to see how they were so are ignorant of their worthiness ).  I can’t say I really cared for any of them.  One, while great, wasn’t of a subject matter I cared too much for.  One was an embarrassingly amateurish attempt ( although not worthless ) and the two were best left to their paper format.  I present “Self-Reliance Illustrated”, “Prepper and Survival E-zine” and “Survivalist”. 

*

RSI was about knives and primitive wilderness survival.  Not a bad subject, but I don’t really want a whole magazine worth.  The pictures were almost impossible to see on the Kindle, so if you wanted detail on the debris hut type thingie you could squint and not see much.  Of the three, the most professional.  P&S was really not a whole lot more than “gee, I saw this mostest awesomest groovy subject on survival and here is the web page”.  Okay, not bad ( and the price is right at a buck ).  But you can get these things on discussion boards.  Such as several different ways to make natural bread yeast.  It is a time saver, at most.  Survivalist was the same mag I reviewed some time ago.  I loved it in its paper version, but unable to get it at my local store anymore, I settled for the K version.  I don’t care for that one.  Without the ads and pictures it was a bit short ( okay, it rather serves the same purpose of the defunct American Survival Guide as a fantasy gift catalog for survivalists ). 

*

So, three strikes out for the electronic survivalist magazines.  Buy the paper.  Which leads me to the subject of ME, beautiful me.  I told you yesterday that I would be writing more, after the marital problems once again reared their ugly head.  After thinking about it, I said to myself, “Self, you stupid ass knuckle- dragging delusional moronic crap for brains, you are getting paid the same money per word as your century-ago pulp fiction comrades, yet your purchasing power is pitiful compared to them.  And you want to write even more?”  I’m glad I had that talk with Self.  And I’m serious about my pay.  I have wicked more talent than those writers did-mostly- and I’m getting paid one eighth or so.  So, seeing as how I’m not going to have all that much serious competition on the e-magazine front, here’s what we are going to do.  I’ll be writing at half my word length on the weekdays, 500 words instead of a grand.  And the extra effort goes to writing content for the magazine.  Unless of course I change my mind, which happens a lot.  But that is the plan for now.  I don’t actually expect great things, success wise, but I’m going to give it a try.  Stick with me minions, I still love you guys.

empire

EMPIRE

Before we start today, once again an unwanted update on the most important person in my life, me.  Sorry, but since you don’t pay for the actual blog ( although you all support me wonderfully and thank you oodles ) I get to bore you at will.  Here I am, one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet, giving the wife money for her bus ticket for the summer family visit, and she turns on me like a rabid vicious Hellhound.  I knew I was going to be real busy, so I gave her round trip taxi fare to go buy the tickets herself.  And like a dumbass, I didn’t stop and think she would load up on the booze with the change.  Well, I get home- after a hard day’s work helping to support her, mind you- and now she wants ANOTHER bus ticket to go see her daughter who is crying emergency again.  I made a totally innocent remark on how I shouldn’t be expected to pay her for me to abstain from sex for another two weeks.  Totally innocent, I tells ya!  So that started the whole “you just think I’m a whore” tirade.  I didn’t stop to explain to her that with a whore you don’t have to listen to them talk after sex.  No, I just told her to piss off.  So once again here we are breaking up.  It’s so old hat, as I’m sure you’d all agree, that it doesn’t even bother me anymore.  On the contrary, I’m pretty excited about expanding my writing schedule.  So, once again my pain is the minions gain.  You are welcome.

*

A minion gave me an article idea ( and about damn time, you guys were slacking pretty wicked ) on details of empire old and new.  I’m not sure I’ll be able to do the subject sufficient credit but I shall try.  I’m thinking a quick round up of our current situation and a look into the future of the continental US.  We now have three contenders for global domination.  The US, Russia and China.  The US might have started out as a commodity empire, trying to control all the jungles in this hemisphere along with a few islands such as Hawaii ( one of our first orchestrated coups to install a friend ) and the Philippians ( even if our first non-hemispheric colony didn’t work out so well, at least we got a great military sidearm out of the deal ), but all agricultural interests gave way to oil by WWII and after that our only other interest was financial colonization.  Unfortunately, that twin dependence on petroleum and dollar hegemony is now biting us on the ass as the oil supply contracts and the world looks elsewhere for a trading currency with military assets to protect it.  Our empire is done, and only the idiots fail to realize it.  And you thought it was bad now?  Wait for trade to cease.

*

Russia isn’t really a contender outside its sphere.  They have always been more defense minded, starting with the Asian horde threat from Moscow outward.  Any expansion from them was always defensive, contrary to Cold War propaganda ( the only threat during that conflict was the US government towards its own citizens ).  Not to discount their initial empire expanding past the Urals towards Siberia and the Pacific, but after many stops and starts I think they are relatively happy to wallow in their status quo as resource provider with enough buffer space to defend themselves.  China has both a sounder economy ( in an age of universal fiat currency computing, this is a relative concept ) and the means to enforce a new trading currency.  You don’t get trade without a military.  They have both, the means of production and protection.  Now, this is not to say that China is the next global empire for a hundred years.  What they will be is a regional empire for a short time, then be forced to contract with the petroleum supply.  As of now, they can expand because of their very frugal use of energy supplies, but you can’t ride a contraction any other way but down.  They will expand, but not for long.  Of course, they also have plenty of historical experience at this, so I see no long term threat to them as a nation ( and, no, masses of dissatisfied peasants have never been a threat either other than as a tool in palace intrigue ).

*

Now, while I’ve had fun depicting China as a US occupier, odds are against it.  Remember, energy contraction.  You want to decrease transportation needs, not increase them.  I’m pretty much guessing an Africanized collapse.  Everyone else pretty much leaves the continent alone to wallow in its own conflict, merely picking treasure off the edges of that war zone.  Occupy the LA oil basin, or that in Louisiana, perhaps.  Take over the Gulf oil production, most likely.  But occupy the country proper I very much doubt.  Again, it’s about transportation and logistics in a world of contracting energy supply.  The North American continent is no longer a rich oasis ripe for the plucking ( even Canada is on par with Venezuela as far as carbon fuels- actually worse if there is any natural gas interruption ).  What we will see is a Balkanization as every race and religion erupts in hatred and loathing, a process well under way for generations and only halted by federal freebies to bribe complacency.  Any future empire in a post Apocalypse world is going to be founded on genocide.  There won’t be surplus resources to bribe pacification, so the only thing left is warfare to irradiate conflict between tribes.  You can build an empire after the collapse, but it will be small, short lived and forgotten to history.  Without the resources to expand much, that is your fate.  You can fight over the scraps but you are always vulnerable.  Assured failure, just like any future relationships I might have.

END    

Oh, and BTW, three new K-book reviews.

moving again

MOVING AGAIN

No, I’m not moving again.  Just another article on moving, again.  After a minion chastised me in the comments section, I realized my writing Friday on moving was incomplete.  Okay, it was badly phrased, if that is what you were waiting to hear.  I should have been talking about how the expense of moving was one more reason moving didn’t work for me personally.  Yes, I wrote some time ago that anyone can move to junk land very cheaply if they so wished.  I didn’t mean to counteract that advice Friday.  As I said before, it isn’t moving yourself across the country that is expensive, it is moving all your crap.  And more often than not, your crap ain’t worth the cost of moving it.  When I said it would take two or three grand to move I meant of course moving all my crap.  I wasn’t clear about that, hence the irritable minion comment, whose wraith I obviously deserved for my poor expression.  I really don’t mind being held to task for mistakes.  If you believe yourself invincible you can easily just dig your hole deeper and deeper until you can’t extract yourself, compounding your mistakes and endangering people.  I gave up my initial life plans of being a cop after finally bleatingly realizing I didn’t have the temperament for it.  I didn’t want to kill myself, nor others.  The same goes for any advice I give out here.  I’ll admit to stupid conclusions.  My ego is less important than my life ( and to a much lesser extent, yours ).

*

If I thought that our only problem was going to be an economic collapse, Friday’s scenario would be desirable.  Move to the deep South, buy junk land cheap and grow most of my own food.  Even if I didn’t want to buy more land, I still have my lot east of Dallas/Fort Worth metro area.  I wouldn’t find work there, as the reason the land was so cheap in 2005 was because the unemployment rate was double the national average.  Well, perhaps I could.  I could go to work here for Wal-Mart or Family Dollar and then put in for an opening back in Texas and wait for a transfer ( even as an old guy I could work circles around the young bucks and be a desirable employee.  Plus, I could live on part time ).  But either way, working or not, I would be okay there.  It is a double mobile home lot ( this just in: I was talking to a gal at one of my donor stores and she said that this year a new tax goes into effect.  They tax your land-now double compared to a few years ago- and now a special fee on the mobiles ) so I’d have room for intensive planting and chickens.  The wife would be happy with the heat ( I’m told low blood pressure folks like cold weather and high blood pressure prefer heat.  I might have low blood pressure and the wife the opposite ).

*

However, my job doesn’t merely entail trying to keep the wife happy, but also safe.  She might not admit it, but she likes my money ( she is still a cheap to keep wife, only using a third of my take home pay ).  And having an income does help with medical expenses and such.  But more importantly, we are now out of higher population densities and that will help somewhat keeping us safe in the assured future die-off/collapse ( it WILL happen, the question is when ).  If I moved, I would be sixty miles away from about a million very angry ghetto dwellers.  You can’t buy enough ammunition for that kind of mob.  Even if I moved elsewhere in the South, population surrounds you everywhere.  Yes, Elko has too many folks, and no, I won’t survive them unless some move away before the gasoline supply dries up ( or the TSA roadblocks go up ), but at least I have a 250-300 mile buffer of desolate wasteland keeping out any more people ( most of which is waterless ) right where I am.  I can’t as easily grow food here, nor survive the winters as easily ( they are much more comfortable underground of course ), but it is a much better place to survive a die-off.  Surviving the economic collapse, not so much.  But since I can’t time them, I can’t have a home in both places and transition from one to another ( not that there would even be any transportation to do so ).

*

Yesterday the wife called Greyhound to get a bus ticket price for visiting Kansas family this summer.  Last year it cost me $420.  By buying early, $180.  And that is round trip.  So, if you plan ahead and only plan on moving yourself, you could conceivably move across the country for around $200.  If you moved in a few months, you could beat winter and build a nice little cabin for a few hundred bucks ( when I say little, I’m talking 8 foot to a side cabin ).  Rather than spending $100 for a tent that wouldn’t last too long.  Of course, moving 3k miles to a retreat is a bit more complicated than that.  You’ll need to buy more grain, guns and ammo.  You can always ship the guns to yourself, of course, but wheat isn’t generally worth the shipping expense.  I myself could sell my arsenal and rebuy.  I paid $500 for my Enfield arsenal, and the ammo at 30 cents a round.  Call it $1200.  Right now I could resell that, assuming a buyer, at $4k.  If I was moving to a swamp I’d only need a shotgun and a carbine round single shot, for about half that cost total.  I could move just on the arsenal profit ( and pay off some of the land ).  It is still cheap as hell to move your body, then resupply yourself locally.  Time is running out to take advantage on the last of the oil, both in subsidized moving costs and subsidized food.  Don’t take too long.

PEEno1

PEEno1

Remember us talking about my dad’s moniker in his early days ( and we are talking EARLY.  I think they were still lighting with kerosene then J ), Alibi Ike?  More excuses than Carter had liver pills ( of course, back then Carter was probably still learning how to molest goats in the peanut fields ).  I can come up with a million reasons why today’s article is going to suck.  Our excuse now ( me and the mouse in my pocket ) is that the wife and I really got into it this weekend and my mind has been on whether or not the bitch will be home after I get off work, instead of where it should be- saving the universe.  So, you get a weak and pathetic attempt at yet another booklet.  This time, a reworking of my Friday Fundamentals I did over at the Bison Blog.  Feel free to look them over:

http://jamesmdakin.blogspot.com/2012/05/friday-fundamentals.html

Tell me if you think I should include any new categories as well as any improvements some of the old stuff can get.

*

Prepper Elementary Essentials ( PEE ) no1

Taste Fatigue

Every time you read about stocking food for the Apocalypse, the author usually makes two fundamental mistakes.  First, they have you prepping for a short time natural disaster ( when they should have you prepping for the worse case scenario which is an ELE [ extinction level event ] and needs many years of food rather than months ).  Secondly, they are all concerned about a nutritionally balanced diet as well as a varied diet so as not to introduce the dreaded Taste Fatigue.  You know, because we are all a bunch of little friggin girls who can’t stand the thought of duplicating our menu during a month.  As far as nutrition, that is the least of your problems.  Vitamin pills, sprouted wheat and perhaps wild plants can keep scurvy at bay.  If you stock beans along with your grains your protein needs will be met and if you have tubs of lard you will get enough fat ( despite that nasty bitch Michele and her fad “starve the children because the little Shittes are all obese white spawn” veggie diet, you NEED fat in your diet, especially in the winter without a functioning McDonalds and no central heat ).

*

In a world of energy decline, resource wars and climate change, your primary concern in an extended collapse is going to be calories.  Not if you’ve stocked enough cans of green beans ( cans are great for extended storage of protein, not so great for vitamins.  Vitamin content decreases over time, making canned vegetables a very expensive, very inefficient, very heavy store of nutrients ), or whether or not Little Jonny is going to complain about eating a bowl of gruel for the 103ed time in a row.  Of course you are going to run into taste fatigue.  DUH.  Pick a grain all the family likes and can eat ( most will go with wheat, a few will be allergic and must eat rice [ twice the price of wheat-surprise! It doesn’t grow all that many places here- and it is capable of far less variety] )( I dislike corn.  It is not very nutritious, no longer cheap after ethanol, cannot be stored from the feed store without additional drying to prevent mold and don’t taste great past a few dishes.  But that is just me ) and serve it every meal as a side dish.  If the little darlings are afraid of any form of flour outside Wonder Bread ( remember that defunct brand? ), gradually introduce whole wheat flour a bit at a time.  If my experience with my family members are any indication, in time they will prefer whole wheat over white.  Just don’t push too hard.  By the time the bankers have shoved the economy off the cliff and escaped to Shanghai with their trillions, your family will be quite used to their basic food and have experienced a variety of ways it has been served.

*

Now you’ve solved the “store what you eat, eat what you store” problem.  Personally, I can’t see how folks think rehydrated goulash is akin to what they regularly eat, but who am I to crap all over 99% of the survival sites ad revenue.  Everyone acts like taste fatigue will kill them.  So let me tell you about my personal experiences.  Yes, eating nothing but potatoes for a month of unemployment kept me off that food for the following five years.  And several weeks of nothing but rice kept that food off my plate even longer afterwards.  But with wheat, the western staff of life, I’ve managed to go near fifteen years of eating two meals a day of nothing but bread ( I hate cooking, as do the wives I manage to end up with ).  Granted, I get variety come dinner time.  But I’ve grown more tired of repetitious dinners ( same meat, same three carbs ) than I have of repetitious breakfasts or lunches ( bread ).  In short, wheat works for me repetitiously. Oh, if I survived the collapse, I imagine I’d never touch wheat again.  Even by using the small variety of other foods I have ( some beans, some rice, some canned meat ) only at dinner to replicate my current diet somewhat, yes, eventually having 90% of one’s diet the same food sucks.  But I think many authors never actually went long periods of time testing out their Read And Repeating advice on taste fatigue.   And historically, most peasants lived a life of taste fatigue.  As long as the food is familiar and practiced with daily, while you WILL get complaints you won’t get death by refusal to eat.  You just might feel like it.  Hey, sorry the collapse of western civilization and population die-off aren’t a nicer experience.  Winey bitches.  Most of your diet is corn, but since the factories put them into different shapes you think you are getting variety.
