Alaska Is Better

Alaska is the best state!

Population of the state of Alaska is currently a little over 700,000. The population of the city of Tampa Fl. alone is a little over 300,000. The size of Alaska is roughly half the size of the United states.

The state of Alaska is so big that it has just as many climate zones as the rest of the united states also. Some parts in the south are old growth temperate rain forests. Sitka Alaska was the first base established by the white man(Russians) in the pacific northwest, and the northwest indians all the way into alaska had such plentiful foods all year round that they had time to think and use their hands. They crafted Totem poles and told stories and led rewarding spiritual or philosophical lives and enjoyed community. While up north the sun sets in the fall and doesn't rise for 6 months. Eskimos who live on the west coast of Alaska have lived there for thousands of years but we're too scared to try.

There are infinite lakes and more waterfront property in Alaska than the rest of the united states combined.

This state is just like the old america before the 1950's because of these Awesome factors:

1. There is tons of land so everyone has land to grow food and farm, this is free exercise and good diet and nutrition so don't need a gym.
2. Everybody caries a gun because of wild animals. You don't even need a permit for some guns and it's hard to enforce. So people are generally safer.
3. So there is less regulation and less enforcement and less laws and less taxes for infrastructure just like back in the old days.
4. It's all about capitalism and opportunity in Alaska. Because of the endless resources and low population they have the lowest unemployment rate in the nation and biggest # of independent people, because it's easy to get a job even if you have a bad background and can be crappy at your job and they'll never fire you because they'd have trouble finding another worker. So they'll put you to work if you don't already create your own capitalist ventures. They have so much money they'll give you free room and board and food and then pay you on top to work there at a summer job.
5. Because there is money and stuff in alaska there is less stealing, and in the 50's nobody ever had to lock their doors because nobody ever stole anything back then. This leads to nicer people.
6. All the towns are small towns therefore low stress and a general better mood so everybody is nice. I can speak from small town experience that there is a huge load lifted off of your shoulder as soon as you start to live there. Anchorage is one of the nicest cities in America.
7. You are always busy and never bored, why watch TV when you can move a ship off the shore or captain one or create a cabin or catch or hunt food and preserve it or cook it.
8. Because of this Alaska's population has the highest IQ in the nation because they have to know how to do everything as a matter of survival. So if you want to learn a lot GO to Alaska. It's the best college of them all. Become an electrician or a welder or a captain and they'll teach you for free and put you to work with hands on experience. Also their IQ'd will rub off on you as you have to come up to their level to keep up.
9. Because there are less people there are less accidents
10. Because you make so much money you can save it up instead of using credit cards any more.
11. No car fumes or pollution or noise or smokers.
12. The permafrost is a permanent refrigerator and also makes outhouses not stink. All year round.
    

So you just have to trade crappy city lifestyle which obviously has no future in it... for the cold! And if you're fat like me, you're made for the cold anyway, so don't deny your genetics. And if you live in Alaska for very long you're sure to get rich in some way without even trying. Probably even a complete retard could succeed there, just like even kids were easily able to do before the 50's. And if you want you could transfer that wealth to a venture outside of Alaska later on if you really didn't like Alaska.

And if for nothing else, just build a cabin up there in the woods... even a shack! And have it somewhere that nobody will ever find in a million years and you will always have that there just in case you ever decide to stop working in the city. So you always have the option of never having to work again. Or just go up there as a summer cabin and go fishing all summer.

"Cold is a choice" based on the right clothes and right construction you will never be cold... Ever! Unless you're a moron!

Life is simple: food/shelter/community: Idle hands are not the work of the devil(Christian concept) , instead they are the source for human inspiration and innovation!

The Indians knew this and weren't obsessed with making money off of resources. When work needed to get done they would all work, and when food was plentiful they would all eat. They used what they needed. When the work was done they were done. Since you don't have any bills to pay and don't have anyone working for you they could just relax. The endless pursuit of money is just that... endless. There is never enough. And before you know it you have to save money to keep up. And then work harder while also saving up, and then you lose your job then your house. And have to take 2 jobs and have bad health from all the stress and cheap food. All for a few bucks and some cheap Chinese merchandise. Economics 101.

New house production method

This is a method for a structure anywhere where there is dirt.

First dig an under ground chamber, then gather clay from that dirt by separating clay and sand by mixing dirt with water, in a pit, until a mud slurry and then leaving to dry for the smallest clay particles to settle on the top.

Then on the interior of this underground chamber, you will put one solid unbroken strand of steel wool along the walls of the chamber. This may be done in sections. Then you will put a layer of clay over the steel wool.

Now hook up a high amperage power source like a car battery to both ends of the steel wool making sure that none of the steel wool is exposed to air, therefore not oxidizing and burning away.

And the final product of this is a ceramic wall that is water proof and structural. The more energy going through the wires the hotter the wires will get.

An alternative method of doing the same thing is put lots and lots of already burning hot coals into the underground chamber and then sealing in all of the heat by sealing off the chamber. The more coals put in, and the smaller the chamber, the hotter the temperature will get and the better the clay will turn into ceramic.

New Technology In A Futuristic Cabin

I want to make a fort to test out theories that may someday feel like home. I want to create housing solutions that utilize physical law, physical effects, and scientific principles, because technologies that utilize these never break or require energy. If at all possible.

The new way I intend on building a cabin with modern technologies is:

Construction: Have the shell of the house constructed of fiberglass and spray foam. The shape of the house is determined by a form. The form is made out of a mound of dirt on your property that is in the shape of the house. Then you put a powder such as flower over the mound of dirt for quick release of the fiberglass structure and to keep it clean. The fiberglass and epoxy mixture is then applied over the quick release dust to create the structure. Then the structure is removed in sections to be combined into the final complete house shape and bonded together with more fiberglass.

Insulation: Spray foam the inside of the house.

Fireproofing: Put a protective coating of plaster over the spray foam to fireproof it, and for visual appeal.

Flooring: Have a fiberglass floor that is attached to the entire house as one solid seamless, house sized, piece of fiberglass. Add whatever other type of flooring you want over this.

Optional Fiberglass mold: For making a mold for the fiberglass you may elect to make a dirt mold of a part of the house then put fiberglass over the dirt mold and wait for it to cure. But then this first fiberglass shape may be dirty from remnants of the dirt mold, so you now use the newly formed fiberglass shape as a mold in and of itself that you put another layer of fiberglass over as a new clean fiberglass house component. You can also make a boat this way in much less time than it would take to make a wooden boat(wooden boats taking 200hrs)(See: "How to build a boat" youtube video). Also have many layers of the fiberglass and epoxy resin for more structural strength. Also you put quick release wax and gelcoat over molds before applying fiberglass.
Fiber glass is superior to a cement house because cement will crack almost inevitably and is therefor not waterproof and also it is very expensive and less suited to building custom structures.

Costs: Fiberglass cloth will cost 4$/1ft. x 1yard. And the epoxy resin will run about 40$/gallon.


Heating and cooling: In the new fiberglass cabin, have ceramic/ or copper/ or flexible metal pipes installed underground with one end located outside the house and one end located inside the house. See: This article on underground pipe house heat moderation. To prevent mold in the culvert air pipe just put an anti mold paint on the inside surface. The pipe acts as temperature moderation because underground temperatures are the same year round and are not affected by air temperature. But to force air to flow through the underground pipe you want air flow from somewhere. For this I like Bernoulli's principle.

Bernoulli's principle states that fast moving air has lower air pressure than slow moving air.(Although it doesn't explain the theory of flight it can help understand how chimney's work). See my "Vortex tubes and pulse jets" article on these principles for more.

So for a chimney you have a separate pipe on top of the house that uses Bernoulli's principle, which is: As wind flows past the top of the pipe/chimney air will be forced up the pipe from inside the house which is ultimately replaced by the air now flowing through the underground pipe. This technology will only lower energy bills every month and will only work when wind is blowing. So make sure that the chimney is above the tree line for best wind flow.
Also you may add a heat exchanger if you want fresh air but you want the temperature in the house to be the same. But most likely this tech will need to be supplemental with a solid state cooling or heating system and a thermostat for those especially cold or hot days. So for that there are some promising new technologies such as thermo acoustic refridgeration and the Johnson thermo electrochemical converter system
which may be available in 5 years or so but until then we can use conventional technology. Heating is easier to accomplish though because you can just get an electric space heater.

Phone: (In research and development now) I am inventing a walkie talkie that requires no batteries, but therefor has limited range. You also have a separate repeater that is located on the roof of the house that is solar powered so that you can boost any signal for long distance communication. This walkie talkie has only 2 components and some wire and a box, and only costs 2$ to make.

Internet:(Untested) Have the same kind of satellite phone and internet that they use on boats

Fridge:(Untested) Thermo-acoustic

Food:Hunt and gather. Wild food is abundant in the wild because everything is still undeveloped. But still supplement diet with store bought items that are imported or hard to find foods for the area.

Drink: Distill by self, or go to store.

Dishes: Still need bowl for soup, or plate for food, and fork knife and spoon, and to clean them you still should just use soap and water. But if you really don't want to buy soap, then throw 100% metal or stone utensils in hot coals to sanitize. Don't put them in the flame of a fire because that will make them dirty by depositing a layer of soot. Coals are hotter so they don't create soot.

Cooking: All electric.

Entertainment: (Untested)OLED TV that is battery powered will be available by 2015.

Lighting: Ambient lighting during day time from a frosted sky lite in the roof, also touch sensitive on/off switch for no moving parts(See: how touch sensitive lamps work). OLED lighting.

Clothing/Washing clothes:(Untested) Clothes are made of artificial water proof fibers like acrylic. To wash them have a rag soaked in alcohol and scrub dirt away.

Shower:(Untested) Rag and warm soapy water.

Toilet:(Untested) Chlorine and CLR septic system in a bucket of water then bury. Or outside then burn the waste site.

Transportation:(Untested) Electric powered vehicle when there is a good storage technology and power grid, or sailboat that go on excursions with because you live next to the ocean in Alaska.

Less Liabilities: Live in alaska where there is less competition over resources with other people because of lower population, so there is more oportunity to succeed at things and build wealth. Also no noise or air polution. Also no crime when alone or with friends. You'll never be in a car crash but be sure to be prepaired for the cold and stock food for the winter and have the same kind of satellite phone and internet that they use on boats. For me I don't have to pay taxes or keep tax records if I don't have a job. The less mail you have to keep and paper work you have to do the better. You have less rules in alaska which is less liability, so make your own rules. Also you get to have free infinite vacations on the infinite coastlines of alaska(alaska has more shoreline than the rest of the united states combined). The boat can be sail powered with an outboard motor and gas for emergencies. and buy a rope crab pot and let it lay on the water's bottom for half the day and then pull it up for easy crab meat. And you get paid 3000$ a year to live in alaska after you've lived there for 1 year. Also instead of working 8 hours a day at walmart for 7$ an hour and never saving up money because it all goes to bills. Why not work 8 hours a day building a house and a garden and stuff for yourself. As long as you can eat and sleep comfortably. So just have a mobile home on your piece of land while you build your house/cabin/castle/boat/spaceship. But there is no more homestead act so you have to spend money to get land now.



I will add to this as I have more time, and will address all of the aspects of the cabin that make it functional and comfortable, as I think of them.
