Finally got to check out White Oak Pastures today in southwest Georgia. Seems like a great operation! We need more farms like this that are not part of the centralized industrial meat system.
Bonus was the kids got to try their first boiled peanuts and meet some of the animals

Porque no los dos?
I work with trees quite a bit, have had them destroy structures, but still appreciate their many functions
Thanks for sharing. This is already becoming a tool to cancel people and make life more difficult if you don’t fit into a perfect box.
Guess the key is not putting all of your eggs in one basket
I’d say we’re in the both camp.
We focus on the homestead and community for 9-10 months and travel in the less than ideal weather times here for 2-3 months.
Working to automate systems but we definitely rely on friends who live on our homestead, neighbors, other friends for animal and plant care
The less you can trust the market options and the people around you for obtaining food, shelter, energy, the more you will want to invest in your own back up solutions. Solutions you would normally never invest in. In terms of price-quality, economy of scale and the time and energy it takes to maintain them (especially!!) they very often are just poor choices.
Providing your own heating and growing your own food can be a satisfying experience but economically they don't make sense. On something like a bitcoin standard you would only perform a small selection of these as a hobby or scale up to become a farmer of some sort.
We face these choices on our farm all the time. Every time the ideal choice is either to stop doing a certain activity or to scale it up to a business. But when we cannot trust any other option for, let's say, heating, I still chainsaw my own wood instead of buying gas or straight up starting a woodgas power plant. Even hiring someone to cut my wood for me is too expensive because of fiat. But even if it would be worth it, why would that then even have to MY wood?
On a bitcoin standard I would still back up certain things but not like we do now. It would be more federated and with better tech.
Now we have our own well water and have to maintain the pump, reservoirs, filters etc on ridiculously small scale. Ideally I'd just have a diversified set of market options or scale up and sell to my neighbours (which now is illegal).
We have 11ha of pasture where we can harvest 2-3 cows/buffaloes from every year. This not the scale we would have chosen at all if we could ignore regulations, taxes, vaccinations, ......
In my dreams I handle a huge herd of water buffaloes with a bunch of partners, tracking and stearing them from my phone with a NoFence system, visiting them whenever we please with the kids and sending out grassfed unvaccinated meat twice a year to our steakholders.
Hope that blurt explains it a bit 😉 nostr:npub1zuuajd7u3sx8xu92yav9jwxpr839cs0kc3q6t56vd5u9q033xmhsk6c2uc nostr:npub185y96dht53tr5ja59cydjlqdclv9m9utap6jsvg0q9hefd3g82ysm0c63p nostr:npub1zl9whkrnjlfgg9q0k39r4tymu4ty3r5uy6tgxqdnd7f6xxcf8dms580mpt
Well said, and I agree with a lot of that. There are some things where I just cannot buy high quality so I have to do it myself- compost, transplants from saved seed, certain foods, etc.
Not sure if a Bitcoin standard would solve those
I should sleep but damnit, Darryl Cooper made another podcast. His Substack is the only one I sub to.

Ha, he’s also my one and only substack that I subscribe to.
His series on Israel/Palestine was a great primer for historical context
First baby chicks just hatched!
Feels like a closed loop system now!

Don’t know exactly what that is but probably. I just pile on more wood when it’s blazing and anywhere that I see white developing/too much airflow. Then I use the big charred logs from previous batches to block the air around all of the edges
Amen. Let’s be grateful for what we have right here, right now. Obviously prepare for worst case scenarios but don’t live in that mentality
The kiddos helped me make two 150+ gallon batches of biochar last night and today before the rain came.
Wherever we’ve used #biochar in the garden the plants look much stronger and healthier.. And the chickens love eating it and giving us biochar poop nuggets 😂

Congrats!! I guess the first thing I’d offer is to consider doing a home birth with a midwife. Each time it was a beautiful and much more peaceful experience for all of us.
If you are in a hospital at least have them delay cutting the cord until it stops pulsing, and avoid the ‘cascade of interventions’ as best you can (the Business of Being Born is a doc that’s well worth watching).
I wish you good health and a smooth pregnancy!!
Hey man, are you ok?
Just looked through a lot of your recent posts and it almost seems like your account has been hacked by an angry teenager. Saw multiple ad-hominem attacks on other people who disagree with your point of view on this situation.
What are you trying to accomplish here?
I’m not trying to argue with you or anything- just genuinely care cause you seem like a good dude. Be well
Well done. People watching Fox gonna think you’re part of the Bitcoin PR team 😂
Makes me wonder what participating in society actually means. We might all need to just Homer Simpson into some bushes ✌️
All of the time change bs just needs to go away. I’m finally back on a decent schedule now that the spring ahead is gone.
Feel like the spring is when most of the damage is done, but would be interested to see the yearly statistics
We have patches of it in our garden. Curious what the medicinal uses are?
Yes! Encyclopedia of country living, Back to Basics, Outdoorsman’s Handbook, Complete DIY manual, and then lots of books with specific focuses.
Don’t love how dependent on the YouTubes of the world I am for figuring things out.
Have also downloaded a lot of pdf’s of useful books that I would love to read if the internet were down, or my social credit score ever got too low (hopefully we don’t have to cross that bridge, but hope is not a great preparedness tool)
