Sheeple and tools

Title:

Why I like to educate sheeple about Peak Oil and an important tool for any survivalist.

I'm not smart enough with tech to run my own website. But wherever I go I discuss Peak Oil and what it will mean to us down the road.

What do I get out of my efforts at educating the sheeple?

Besides an honest interest helping others, I do it in the hopes that the sheeple will start preparing for the new world and plant some fruit trees or other edibles. Or maybe take up cheese making or soap making or other useful skills. And if by chance they move away or die I may be able to adopt some of the fruits of their labor.

This summer I have added many new fruit tree to my 'adopted orchard' that others planted then abandoned. Now these abandoned tress did not come from peak oilers. But I do not discriminate with any of my adoptions - if the produce tastes good I will be happy to harvest it.

I got 3 mulberry trees, 3 apple trees. 4 big juicy Europeans and seckel pear trees, an apricot tree, 2 pawpaw trees, brambles, herbs and possibly some wild grapes and chestnuts.

So, as my neighbors prepare and plant food I hope they are successful in their efforts. It will keep them away from knocking on my door for my food if and when TEOTWAK arrives. And if they go away, die or otherwise abandon their trees I will make good use of them.

BTW, buy yourself a few of these harvesters and put them on collapsible poles. I picked almost 14 pounds of apricots just from this one abandoned tree.

Here's a thought.

If you know what your doing, you could grow out seeds (basically free) and use that as rootstock and just graft on branches from your own trees, say a peach. Then you could give these trees to people. Only problem is they might not want a tiny tree, so you might have to wait a year or two and let it grow out some.
