From time to time – perhaps more frequently now – people ask if I have surplus produce to sell, and I never know quite how to answer them. Both parts of the question are stumbling blocks for me: the idea of surplus and the money for which I’d sell. Today, it’s almost the end of September, and Fran and I will be canning carrots. This month has seen two terrible losses for me. I don’t know how much I’ll speak about them now.
Thanks for the thoughts, Brother. We serve the same master, or follow the same muse ...
I do suspect that the system will break rather than successfully implement 4IR. The more rural you are, the less 4IR will be feasible to implement.
Survival, as you explained, drove young men to work in Victorian factories instead...
Like you, I am just doing what I can and sharing about it as I am able.

Reads like you are doing too much, thinking they will win puts a pall over what you can do.
Yes, food and fuel.
Your way with words is inspiring and the subsistence described sounds hard but aspirational.
