Today CJ joins us to talk about how you can get started legally and safely making your own firearms at home with 3-D Printing.

The typical verbiage is flying all over the place right now, as it always does as we lead up to the once every 4 year assclown circus. Save our democracy Take our country back Hold them accountable The most important election of our lifetime Etc. None of this means anything at this point. Sure if you elect the Orangeman it may slow a few things down that are awful but it will simply accelerate others. Trump is not going to “drain the swamp”. Biden is only going to get worse if he stays in office. We are screwed. That doesn’t … Continue reading →

I have been getting some questions about Permaculture lately and it has been specific to PDCs (permaculture design courses) in a lot of instances. Mainly is a PDC worth taking and what do you really get out of it. This is where I may take some flack from some Permaculture teachers, I do not believe a PDC is right for many. Here is why, a PDC is a 72 hour course, it is either rammed into 2 weeks in person or done over time online. 60-70% of the material is philosophy over techniques and tactics or tactics and techniques that … Continue reading →

These three tactics work together to form a natural and biological solution to common issues in the garden and on … Continue reading →

Americans in particular are very fond of the word freedom. It always has amazed me how people so attracted to the word freedom can get so upset when someone chooses to use said freedom differently then they do. Over half of the people don’t vote, we all know this but tell someone who does vote you are going to around an election and watch them lose their minds about it. America’s main population has no idea what freedom means any longer. They think it basically means, go to school and conform. Go to college and conform. Get a job and … Continue reading →

Anarchy is not burning down buildings, demonstrating in the streets or being a non conformist by getting the same tattoo 5,000 other people have. It isn’t hating everyone who is a cop or works for “the system” while you yourself take advantage of … Continue reading →
