For the last 5 years, I have reviewed the list I made 5 years ago, of all the sectors of my life I want to move further into independent sovereignty, and have tried to move each area further toward that goal.

Things like:

Power

Water

Waste

Food

Cooking

Heat

Computing

Communication

Transportation

Defense

I don't get so obsessive that I cant have fun, and be flexible.

But I have a sub-process in my brain thinking about this stuff and looking for patterns almost all the time.

I try to do something each day that advances at least one front further away from a dependency system.

I don't think most of the people around me fully grasp just how seriously ive been taking this stuff for the last 5 years, or why.

That is fine. I dont share much unless directly asked, and I am not looking for others opinions. But some people are starting to take notice and ask questions about how they might move in this direction.

I have a feeling that this year I may start to break through to new levels, and I may start to see if some of my choices have been as wise as I have hoped.
