So much prepping, so little time. But I’m moving in a direction as my gear budget and time outside of the mines allow.

Mesh is next. My main ally in RL has an electronics background working on jets and he is excited about it too. We both took note of how this technology shone after Helene.

I want to get a couple of nodes up in the area. But it is unique geography here. Flat with river valleys below the horizon. I might have to scale a microwave tower or two lol.

When I was reading about the origins of the cypherpunk movement and Paul Rosenberg’s book, I immediately thought about how we can get around metadata trails and make connections with likeminded people without any traces. And filter out moles. That’s the big one.

I don’t like what I’m seeing in the EU. It’s coming this way. We need to build around it.

The thing I’m wrestling with right now is whether we can hope to do the things we need to do to effect change in this country without getting picked off.

We really need to have a general strike IMO. Historically it’s the only thing that has changed the direction of nations without a lot of casualties. But most people don’t even have 72 hours of provisions laid up to weather missing a single paycheck, let alone a dozen of them.

Maybe I should just focus on the garden and teaming up with locals and leave it to the next generation. But I want to make a difference.
