Must read book list

I met a mysterious individual today at work and he gave me a list of must read books that apparently divulge everything the government doesn't want you to know. So if you're a reader or an intellectual you may find these books interesting. He also said that you can find some pretty mind blowing stuff at the actual Harvard University library in Cambridge MA. But you can't rent it so you have to read it in the library.

Paragliding

I've been researching paragliding and here's what I've found out.

The closest thing you're ever going to get to a helicopter is a $4,000 motorized paraglider.

Lift is created when there is strong wind, or ridge lift, or a thermal, or a motor. Get a tandem paraglider for the most lift.($1,000)

The best mode of travel for long distances in remote undeveloped areas is paragliding with no motor(because no need for gas) such as Alaska or across boarders. This info came from a national geographic expedition.

The best place to buy a paraglider is ebay or if lucky on craigs list.

Cross country flying is done by finding a thermal and reaching 15,000 ft and then gliding wherever you want until you find another thermal or just land until tomorrow.

Dangers:
  • There are sometimes turbulent winds which are dangerous if near ground but if up in the air you can just use your emergency parachute.
  • Sometimes the fabric of the paraglider absorbs water and becomes heavier on wet grass or water.
  • If you land somewhere where you can't take off then you need to walk to somewhere to take off
  • In all, as dangerous as driving, if that.

Making my own Bed

Before picture

I was watching "Alone in the wilderness" again and saw Dick Proenneke building his own bed from scratch. So since my cheapo bed just broke I decided to build my own, and it only cost $24.10


So I set of on my Hair brained idea to build a bed with this rudimentary scribble of a diagram

So I bought it all then sawed the pieces with a pruning saw because my other bigger saw that I bought didn't work because it wasn't sharp. I later returned it. Then a black and decker drill that I had didn't even last 15 minute on a 3 hour charge. So we're in the process of returning that. But I carefully screwed all the pieces together then when it was finished I wrapped 100 ft. of rope around it as tight as I could and now it's slightly springy from the wood bowing a tiny bit.

Tools needed:
  • tape measure
  • pencil
  • pruning saw
  • power dril
  • philips head bit
Supplies needed:
  • (3 count) wood 2x3x8 ...............................................cost $5.79
  • 3 inch wood to wood or wood to masonry screws .cost $7.98
  • 100ft twisted poly rope.............................................cost $8.75
  • .............................................................total cost $24.10
And the whole thing took about an hour to build not including all of the run around time to get stuff.

Way of life 5

Alaska house, or Self sustained lifestyle

If you live in Alaska for half the year then you’ll be saving 6 months worth of expenses by living off the land as long as you have a home business. Also by building a cabin in Alaska totally from scratch you can sell it and live off of money from that like a job. Or just save it and make another cabin. Also poor family members might like the idea.
-------------------------------------------
House: Cabin made out of logs on a 5 acre piece of land in alaska. See alone in the wilderness video. And alaskaantlerworks.com

Food: Fresh caught fish that are smoked or eaten fresh and any other animal you can shoot or trap.

Water: Rain catch, or river, or boil from any source

Heating: Woodstove,

Lighting: Candle or crank led, tree sap lamp, oil lamp,

Shower: Rag and soapy water

Toilet: Outhouse, tp, tree leaves

Travel transportation: RV, or Paraglider(doesn't need gas), or ultralight, canoe made out of tree

Fridge: Under ground or dried or smoked or canned or fresh

Communication: Walkie talkie, or for $70/mo have internet phone and solar charger

Entertainment: Books, hand held games, fishing, hiking

Clothes: Store bought as needed, or make own from animal hide

Bugs: Smudge the house

Trash/electric/medical: None

Tools: File, Good rip saw, Axe, Adze, Draw knife, Chisels(flat bladed, curved blade), Mallet, big compass(for measurement), tape measure(or string on a stick), plum and bob, pencil, knife
---------------------------------------------
With this self sustained life style you will be able to survive anything such as a coronal mass ejection pointed toward the earth. This lifestyle is what survival experts support and is also good for the environment. Also you may become financially free doing this and not feel bored all the time. $100,000 can making anyone totally debt free and on the way to becoming rich and wealthy and making one cabin is potentially worth $30,000

Also it's healthy for you eating fresh fruits and vegetables and fish and exercising by collecting firewood and gardening among other things, have all been shown to extend life expectancy.

Wasting Time

It's something to do without getting anything accomplished.


Wasting time is what our life thrives on.


Examples:

  • Playing virtual realities with avatars with virtual pets and crops and friends.
  • Going to the gym and exercising until totally tired then having to do it the next day forever and only to look a tiny bit more healthy.
  • Eating: Just eat the same thing every week and that’s variety enough but its an endless cycle with nothing ever coming of it except living to eat another day.
  • Gambling: All you get is entertainment and lose some money at the same time. This is a complete waste of time.
  • Movies: One of the go to things on a day off with friends or family although you accomplish nothing at all and now you just spent $10 doing nothing.
  • Going to the beach: The most things you can do at the beach is play bocce ball or volley ball and fly a kite and swim and sunbathe and beach comb. All are complete wastes of time. The only thing that’s not a complete waste of time, that you can do at the beach is metal detecting.
  • And finally sex: One of the least productive things you can do and then having kids only puts more of a burden on life and finances. But people seem to like it no matter how counterproductive it is.
