I had a bumper crop of acorns from my largest oak. My intention was to mail them out, and I did a few test mailings, but that didn’t work out so well. They either arrived desiccated or wormy, so I don’t think mailing was a good idea.

What I did do was to hand carry them everywhere I went, and I probably spread twenty pounds of them around north America.

I looked for places where there were grassy clearings in wooded areas that were unlikely to get mowed. I looked for good deep soil and remote areas. I dug holes with my pocketknife or a little trowel I carried in the truck or I simply stomped them into the ground wherever I could.

I have planed oaks in Kansas, iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, damned near every rest stop in Indiana, a piece of property I’m privileged to be allowed to hunt in Indiana, a similar piece of property in Illinois, several Illinois forest preserves, lots of abandoned property.

if even one tree grows as a result I will be well pleased. And the tree looks to be making a bumper crop already again this year, and knowing what I know now, I will be able to properly store the acorns before they get buggy this year. Sorry for anyone who was hoping for some, but as I learn and figure out what to do, I will be sending them your way.

has- mostly due to our deliberate inaction- been reduced to a series of quasi independent but colluding soviets, the likelihood of our turning the ship around is dwindling into the distance.

The new frontier will be understanding how to thrive in our brave new world, and most of that has to do with camouflage. See, if you get big enough for anyone to notice you, you will be shorn off, like the tallest blades of grass in the lawn. The whole system will depend on gradual and invisible lateral growth. The days of one person achieving and doing visibly well are over- no matter how successful you are you cannot let anyone know it, and as much of your success as you can must be kept off the books. The cosmic game of whack-a-mole is in our future, and if you poke your head up, some agency of the fedgov will be there to peen you over.

The Ann Barnhardt model of asceticism is fine for an individual, but to succeed as patriots we have to play the game, and right now the game is to overwhelm liberalism by sheer force of numbers. They have defeated us thoroughly in an ongoing war of attrition; the only remaining plan is to keep our successes and our finances to ourselves so that we starve the beast. It will live for generations feeding off those not smart enough to hide their assets properly, but eventually it will be impossible for them to tax anymore, to borrow anymore, or to spend like the drunken sailors to buy the votes of the ill informed and the downright stupid.

At that point, the well provisioned, well hidden producers that have sat tight and avoided notice will have an opportunity to step in and actually accomplish something.

This is already how most people I know are approaching this issue. You are probably one of them- you pay cash for things, you don’t leave paper trails of transactions, you buy and sell and keep it to yourself. More than one person I know has the cash on hand to buy a decent used car. More than one person I know has their home paid for. And I bet there are more but they don’t share their information with me, and that’s how it should be.

This is not a 10 year plan or a 20 year plan but a 100 year plan. The people participating will pass it along. It may not happen in our grandchildren’s time, but if we keep our eyes open and our mouths shut, it will happen.

And if we ever allow the non productive to vote again, we deserve exactly what we get.

when you have some dirty work to do, and they get a little pissed if they don’t get to be involved, and are jealous of the people that DID show up and get hurt.
