Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

The only people that will make it will have to live in isolated communities like the Hawaiian islands, Montana, or the Dakotas. For someone looking for a non nuclear war option, has good resistance to cold, and rural living skills, living near a Hutterite community may be a good option. There are H...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

If the descent is a time of private selfishness behind public generosity, the darkness will be a time of private selfishness without public generosity. There will be no welfare system. People will be thrown back on their own devices and life will suddenly become much simpler. On the bright side, th...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

What do you think of Buckminster Fuller, HB? A lot of periodicals found their way into our home when I was a kid (late 60s and 70s). Buckminster Fuller would be featured here and there. He was sort of a cult figure at the time and there were a few others. I remember one guy who had developed a peda...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

The empty states are the ones with lots of dark green on the population map. They're also dry as a bone. Almost 30 years go, I was in eastern Montana and found a gas station up on a hill. Got out of the car and looked out and it seemed like I could literally see 50 miles. Nothing in sight but grass...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

I was hoping for a developed mini-farm for reasons I'm now fully understanding. That's a good suggestion for people to consider. Once in a great while on sites like permies.com there will be a small farm for sale where the owners are old and/or tired, have built up the soil, and are ready to cash i...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

The summers are broiling in Texas. Also, proximity to Mexico is an issue. With climate change, I'd prefer empty states like Vermont or ND. My ultimate destination will be northeast Nebraska after diesel supplies start to run out and 3-5,000 acre farms have to become smaller. It'll be a hard life. T...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

Do you plan to stay in Florida in the new Dark Age? Shouldn't you be heading out to Montana or Wyoming? My current dark age hovel is in semi-rural Texas. My dark age hovel from 2005 through 2023 was in semi-suburban Texas. As far as the location for a dark age hovel, my personal preference is the p...

Re: Higgenbotham's Dark Age Hovel

A Venezuelan illegal is on TikTok telling other illegals how easy it is to squat in houses, even if Americans are living there. His face and name are visible in the vids and he has not even been questioned by the police. Truly America is over. The hedge funds who own tens of thousands of properties...

“So you recommend that pregnant women eat organic produce?” I asked Grandjean, a Danish-born researcher who travels around the world studying delayed effects of chemical exposure on children. Wouldn't banning pesticides lead to global famine? What about fertilizers? Depends on who you ask. Some, ma...
