Most of my long time friends know that I use to support the Green Party of Canada, they also know that I no longer do. But the reasons why are so long I haven't posted all of them, and the main reason for that is that the list just seemed to long.

In 2006 and 2008, the Green Party of Canada published a policy book to outline in detail what they stood for, in order to get rid of the so-called image that they were a one issue party. It is this very policy book that made me realize that I couldn't support them any longer.

In this post I am going to attempt to go through each issue, and perhaps name a few others that they did not include.

Dan ...

I got a question for you. For the past five months, I've been seriously researching and putting together my own bug-out plan. I'm coming along nicely with my backpacks, and was gonna buy the Jason Richards books from the site for $27 (Ultimate Food Shortage Survival) to pack even lighter, but wanted to get your opinion on it first. I've checked reviews online, blogs... seems legit... I can also find the book on Amazon for $10, but he's offering another 2 or 3 along with it on his website, which look just as interesting. Got any other important reads for someone who's basically starting out green?

Though I've seriously known about the SHTF for over 15 years now, I still feel as though I don't know anything at all. Your input is gold to me at this point. I have a deep dark sense that we're all running out of time...

When we decided that this was the last chance to finish off getting our dream started, that if progress wasn't made in the direction of getting the farm, or give up and move onto plan “B” (re: boat). Something happened.

There have been barriers to us getting the farm, and we had piled together the bulk of it into three parts. The first part was related to income, which has dropped dramatically. The second part was actually getting to the farm since we knew our only real choice was in Ontario, and the final third part was getting the farm itself.

The year 2011 will always be remembered as the year of hell. I worked my tail off, not only trying to get employment, but getting in over my head on many side projects. Last May we thought we were really close to getting the farm since a huge debt was finally gone, my student loan. But just after that, work dropped to nothing, and we ended back in debt to the sum of almost 5 grand. Most of the debt went to food, preps were all used up long before I thought they would, (lesson learned multiple the food prep list you think you need by ten).

Dear Dan:
Greetings. I am not sure if you are in contact or could recommend any preppers in the USA.  I am currently casting a pilot for Spike TV.

We are looking for a host who is knowledgeable and experienced with survival and preparing for catastrophes. Our host will visit the homes of clients who want to know what they should do, and who are grossly unprepared. Our host should know the world of 'apocalypse prepping' and feel confident walking into a home and giving them the education they need to survive under almost any circumstance. I can be reached at 310-857-8575.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sarah

Just to keep you all up to date on the latest, I am currently offline till further notice. We have ended up trapped in a economic disaster that was beyond our control due to a lack of income. And with winter approaching it doesn't look like things are going to get better for us till painting picks up.

We really could use your help by either placing ads on the ad server, or sending us some cash via the links below.

Dear Dan Wolfe,

I received this e-mail from my friend Rand Paul yesterday and I want to make sure you see it too.

Whether Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or other, I doubt anyone who subscribes to my gun training reports wants one million Garand rifles banned from the hands of responsible, law abiding US citizens.

Help Rand Paul fight the Gun Grab by participating in his survey below and supporting his efforts as I have done.

Sincerely,

Dr. Ignatius Piazza

You ever notice that if you lite a candle in a cold room that candle isn't enough to heat up the entire room? I know that sounds kinda obvious, but it is something to remember when buying a wood stove. A single small wood stove with only a 40,000 BTU EPA rating is not going to be enough to heat your entire house in Whitehorse, Yukon. However, it might be enough to heat up your bedroom. (*BTU = British Thermal Units, EPA = Environmental Protection Agency)
