Floods, lack of water, power, bad soils, weather etc.… I think you can get creative with all that, but you’re screwed if you buy land in an area of bad governance and problematic neighbors.  

Put it on gravel, add good venting, and make it easy to get the poop out.  The metal reflects radiant heat.  So with good air flow, it wont get hotter than the outside.  And if you have a heat source inside, it will contain the radiant part of the heat when it’s cold outside.  

whole mushrooms with rough chopped onions, zucchini, squash, bell peppers, with olive oil, salt and pepper.  If you want to convert anyone who hates mushrooms, this is the way to get them hooked.

The morning OMAD produced the best results for me.  Caveats: No alcohol and only whole foods, which is a minefield because many whole foods have been compromised with varietals that spike your blood sugar.  I’m old enough to know how sweeter veggies are today.  Corn, apples, and now the carrots are getting sweet.  So growing/sourcing older varietals is important.  I don’t think beans have been ruined yet like the grains, but with grains you can try ancient varietals on the market like einkorn.

I did keto, blue-zone, carnivore, 6/18 and then OMAD.  From all this, my working hypothesis is that we evolved to have a slow release of carbohydrates in our gut, and when that runs out, we go into nutritional ketosis burning fats until the next bounty is found.

If humans require 1 million calories per person per year, they would have gone extinct right out of the gate.  Living off fruits and veggies you grow is the most efficient, with chickens for eggs, then perhaps, a few goats for milk and cheese.

Great idea, because now is all we have.  Now is all we will ever have.  Don’t spend now by looking at screens that make you sad.

Live in a hut to service gardens, vs. sacrificing a lifetime servicing debts.

Just start planting.  I couldn't know about my soils and how to build my compost until I started growing stuff.

Reminds me of A Beautiful Mind.  John Nash was attached to his hallucinations until he became aware that they were hallucinations.  Then he learned how to ignore them.
