a Pre-Emptive Strike – learn to cook
Whenever I hear some pin-headed newsperson or criminallyinsane Washington kleptocrat call out a war cry against a noun , like the war on illiteracy or the war on
drugs i chuckle a bit their
foolishness with regards to word choice.
But, I think it’s important to face fears, so I’ve entitled this
article similarly by waging war on an economic phenomenon that
we are experiencing now, that may be (definitely) being brought about by
Government meddling into the currency markets – a.k.a
printing trillons upon
trillions of currency units, not just U.S. dollars either,
everything paper.On the hierarchy of needs,
foods a pretty big deal in case you haven’t noticed.
Food prices and oil pricesrun virtually in tandem if youlike looking at charts. As this
new craziness, this latest effort to destroy our fellow man,
really gets hot, oil prices will
be stupid. It may become very impractical to drive a car and food prices will be aggravated times a thousand. Imagine a
whole lot of very hungry Americans.
Enter frustration and rage. So, what can you do?
Outfit your entire living space with food producing plants and animals for starters. Whatever you can do to produce food,
just learn how to do it. Or, if you live in a place where you
have zero options for this, you just move the hell out of there,
ok? Move somewhere sunny and wet, outfit your roof with
solar water heaters and gardens
have rain barrels, cisterns, raised beds
with mini plastic or glass green houses over them, chicken
coop, cold storage, root cellar, fish
pond, sheep, goats, whatever is produce.And you
produce food.
Learn basic knife skills, butchery, vegetable
processing, baking, curing, roasting, stocks soups and sauce
making, pickling and preserves. All of these skills will help you
to
reduce your overall annual food cost because you will be better prepared to deal with seasonal price fluctuations as well as any fluctuations in individual food stuffs, which could happen as
regional governments meddles
in the production and consumptions of various products.
Example: if Arnold in California declares no romaine lettuce is to be
shipped out of the state, because he wants to hold onto it, the price
is going through the roof every-
where else. Get used to cooking whatever is local and start figuring
out what other products/food stuffs you haven’t considered
before, but which are suitable for your climate and region.
If you understand food storage and production you
may be better suited than most, to protect yourself against rising
food prices. Hunting is also very useful
and practical. If u understand

Hunting is also very useful and practical. Domesticated pig breeds, now wild and roaming
the country side eating farmers crops from the day they are born
until the day they die, plus any delicious wild plants they may eat.
If I was allowed to kill those boars with no upper limit, I’d set up
a proscuitto ham business and
start killing. Some proscuitto hams, that people buy, are 60 years old! Meat, at room temperature, 60
years old! All you need is salt and a place to hang them for a long time.
This is top-quality delicious gourmet food and it can be yours,
with a little learning and work.
Practical skills of all sorts and grit are what’s going to make it
in the years to come. I think practical people in the
American countryside could thrive!
Like that Hank Williams Jr. tune,
Country Folks Will Survive, it’s their practical skills he’s
referring to, including food-related ones like how to skin a buck and run a trout line. Food
is important.
