    Another suggestion…inside the Forum or Community pages, add another section/area for “Buying” or “In Search Of (ISO), where people can post the item they are looking for.

    I know a marketplace is being worked on, but that won’t be til 2023. This could give people an option to connect with other sellers of that product. And you wouldn’t have countless sellers posting all of their items.

    For instance, I am looking to buy some elderberries, and don’t want to buy them off Amazon (or the like). I swore I saw someone the other day either post about elderberry, or have it in their timeline photo, but I’ve scoured the site with searches in the forums/communities area and haven’t found anything. If I could just post that I’m looking for elderberry, a seller of that could comment and we connect.

    Then when the marketplace is ready, that Buying page could be taken down.

    Just a thought!

    Danny, I was the one who originally asked the question in the What is Coming thread. I did it with zero intention of stirring up strife for you, or the community. I sincerely apologize for the effect it had on you. I am simply seeking to ask the Father for wisdom in what my ears hear, and do my own research. Youll understand that many of us have awoke from our slumber in the past two years realizing that NOTHING is what it seems. In my family and even our church, nobody has wanted to discuss anything that is happening, or we get the eye roll for thinking for ourselves.

    Thank you for addressing in the video, it has given me more things to research for myself. I just went ahead and bought Sacha’s book you mentioned. Blessings upon you, Wanda, and your homestead.

    You are fine, it is great to have different opinions chime in, as that may also lead to ideas of our own, and things we should pursue. The status quo of our world is changing, and it may take us to think differently, to change/escape this system as you did. We are all unique, and different. What works for some, may not work for others. It’s part of what makes us all individuals, and rather than a collective (such as the clowns in charge think).

    Sorry, hopefully that didnt sound crass or like criticism. I hate paying taxes as much as everyone else. Just wondering how you handle that side of things

    Very very interesting. As an independent contractor that is operating your own business, how do you deal with taxes, submit income, expenses, keep track of receipts, etc if its off the books? Pardon my sarcasm, but this seems like an invitation for one of those 80,000 newly hired armed IRS agents to come over for an audit.

    Yes. I have a large cnc router, laser engravers, and a UV printer, so I can engrave or color print onto most any material.

    Definitely agree to have physical books. We homeschool our four kids and have put a priority on having physical copies instead of digital, as that can always be changed.


    I’ve also utilized our local library for a lot of homesteading/farming/reliance books to read thru first, and then buy the book if it’s worth having. Our library shares books from about 15 other local libraries, so there is a large selection and great way to read before buying.

    Luckily back in 2018-19 we started downsizing our business, and post pandemic, it’s just my wife and I. Very little overhead as we work on our property. We also bought about a year’s worth of inventory and supplies because of the supply chain issues, and that decision has been paying off even though it took cash up front. Many loyal and repeat customers.

    All the inflation and rising costs have trimmed our margins, but we are making do. I’d say the biggest issue is that we are just burnt out. Have been for the better part of the last two years. We take smaller timeframes off, but we are excellent at what we do, so we just have continuous, steady business.

    That’s why i asked the question here 😃. I saw your interview on Billy’s channel this spring and i was intrigued because you were in that world. It just confirmed what we suspected.

    I am not asking or leaning on Danny for all the answers. I am asking for more insight to specific things he mentioned but did not elaborate on, so that I can also take these things to the Father and ask for wisdom/direction, as well as research things myself. All of this is to take the information presented, and make my own decision, not just take someone else’s word.

    I, as most of you, are well aware of all the corruption, lies, and garbage with a vast majority of our “leaders”, WEF, agenda 2030, etc. We are currently living in a depraved mind society that Romans 1 described.

    He is on a public forum and speaks as a valued member of the body. But by saying in multiple videos “something is coming”, but then not elaborating on that topic, actually creates more fear because I am left wondering what he is taking about, and what could actually happen. It also makes me feel like he has “inside” information that we aren’t allowed to know, or that he is somehow more spiritually privileged than I to receive such insight.

    Again i want to be clear that this is not an attack, I completely understand that there are many things he can’t say on YT. That’s why I am asking here. I believe he has great wisdom. I truly value his thoughts and willingness to discuss things that even churches don’t. I am just asking for more specifics on these particular topics so I can do my own due diligence.

    More information will allow us to take that word and test the spirits. All helping to discuss, build a community, be on one accord, prepare, and be ready. Also gives us a specific target to pray at, to thwart the enemies plans.

    With us being in Wisconsin, Canada got crossed out as bug out location long ago.

    As I think Danny said, “grow where you are planted”
