How I moved from Indiana to Florida was I packed up everything in pods, put the pods in storage, then went down to Florida and rented a place month to month, then I would spend time searching the area, looking for homes for sale.
I ended up buying a home I found on craigslist. Being there you can see more homes and scout the neighborhood better is what I found.

I have been following the Corbett report and they have a section called “Solutions watch”
They have ideas like using cash to avoid the new money system, several ideas of how to resist the forces we are fighting.

This video is useful for understanding the basics of Kratky, and entertainment value 😉

Yes when Paul first started it he used wood chips only, they broke down, took time but worked great.
One has to use what one has, it took about 4 years before I got 70 truck loads of chips. I have sand.
I have found that others use mulch method, they call it Deep Mulch. Jean Pain has his own ways of using the wood chips.
Ruth Stout used hay….. but one has to be careful the hay / straw has not been sprayed with herbicides.

On target.

The virgins that had oil for the wedding feast did not share with the virgins who had no oil. They informed them to go and buy oil. There are some windows of opportunity that if we fail to prepare we fail. The care for the widows in the New Testament was not to all widows, there were requirements for who was to be helped and those who were not to be helped. I have limited resources, thus with my limited resources I will help, I will help them to remember to prepare. More likely they will be on the first ride to a fema camp that comes along.

Which KJV is the one you use, there are several types of KJV.

Interesting idea… make the stove itself the thermal mass….. Might work…. The idea I am working on in my mind is to have the stove outside, and the sand inside but transfer the heat to the sand via a pump and water heated by the rocket stove. Like a boiler.

Looks great what do you keep your PH at?

Yes, Earth Ships are famous for this….
I also do solar cooking… I know one guy who heated up steel rods to over 800 deg, he would then use the rods to cook on at night…. I want to harvest solar energy and use the rocket stove / oven to capture energy for cloudy days…. So testing what works and what does not.

Yes, I run a rocket stove group on MeWe, and I have been looking at all kinds of rocket stoves, gasifier stoves, and TLUD stoves.
My attention got caught on thermal mass when I visited a man who built a cob oven. From one firing he runs the oven 2 – 3 days and cooks over 6 turkeys at a time in it. It is a huge oven, but he did not use much wood to heat the oven…… Since that time I have been collecting data and trying different methods of using thermal mass. My idea is to have the thermal mass right outside my window, and then with thermostat pipe that heat into my home as needed.
I have also worked with heat retention, thermal cookers, hay box cookers and I want to learn how to use the thermal mass of sand to hold heat and use it to my advantage. Thus using old junk steel cans give me a starting point to see how to get started…

Yes, I have been thinking that metal bolts might be a better option, something that would allow more airflow, perhaps fist sized rocks might work better….
As I looked closer at this I do believe either an auger, or putting the sand into pans, then dumping the hot sand into a container afterword.
I am thinking putting the sand into my rocket oven heating it up then dump into an insulated box might do better…
I have a few ideas going in my mind but just will have to test to see what works….

Yeah, loosing his meat is a loss, and the battle is not over. Thank you for this update, after seeing “Farmagedon” I have found these agencies never stop.

Yep, MPHgardener did very good experiments love his channel. But there are many people on youtube doing Hydroponics.

In my investigation of the start of Kratky method I found they used soil at the start…. So I created my own system, in that I raise the worm bin over the water and put a 2-3 inch gap between, sorta like an earth box. Worms fed on top food scraps.
