Welcome to Your Self Sufficiency - The place to learn about how being self sufficient can lead to a better life without the added cost! Your guide to self sufficiency and improving your economic self sufficiency!

Terra Preta Miracle Soil

Today have have a new slant on the colloidal compost we have talked about on yourselfsufficiency.com - but this new storey is a very handy addition to anyone who has aspirations of becoming self sufficient or planning on making a small kingdom or even a self sufficient community, this is because the ancient Amazon / Ancient latin america used this soil to grow and throw in a land thought to have been untenable for large settlesments to spring up. Terra Preta soil seems to be able to regenerate its productive abilities to feed the land and regenerate itself sustainably and without much help from humans after we've started the process for it to regenerate!

Combined with the knowledge to make colloidal compost and mixing it with terra preta properties could only mean one thing - constantly productive compost/soil/a unique feeding station for your plant? which lasts for at least a few hundred years? yes you heard that right, in this article from the national geographic online news it explicitly states that the scientists believe it to be in a productive-able state for a few hundred years at least. Just think about what the possibilities are if we combined systems to make a much more efficient growing area for our community?! Have a good read and think about how much its worth to you to have compost which actually refreshens its AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN without destroying or burning the surrounding land to achieve this... then think about how effective it would be to mix this with the colloidal miracle compost which is one of the books on sale, both would be the perfect match as one requires fire and burning whilst the other is a direct feed system for plants, somewhere inbetween is the perfect marriage of a direct feed system which regenerates itself. Have a good read!

Save Fuel - Use water in your car as fuel and browns gas as a fuel!

Being self sufficient doesnt have to be as hard or difficult - it just comes down to knowing what kind of self sufficient education is most valuable to you. Learning to be self sufficient for reducing costs and using that saving to improve your knowledge, life and living standards seems to be a very good win-win situation for you and the environment! With this in mind - We've been testing out our scientific prowess and started on the long road to a better running car with increased mileage, increased power (oh gosh do we love the extra POWER when you push that pedal!) and if the science is correct, it'll improve the combustion to a point where you reduce your emissions to negligible levels (We got a 0.2% read out of Carbon Monoxide on a test) whilst the exhaust has, believe it or not, become much more pleasent! Cleaner combustion in the engines results in fewer dangerous fumes and compounds being formed and spat out of your exhaust pipe! To us - it means we can have a car which runs partly on water, lets us travel further with the added benefit of bringing the car back to its former super performing life!

Using water as a fuel enhancement for your car does work and has now been proven to increase your MPG aswell as the performance of a car. I am proud to bring this up as I didnt give two damns about my car until the day i thought that I had to junk it, the reason being - it was old and slow. Well, then it just hit me that this was goignt o become a very expensive 'throw away kodak camera' and what else occured to me was that the car didnt actually get much service from ME but from garages and peoples i had to trust! Well, i fear no more as i suddenly found it to be a joy in playing around something so powerful yet after studying how it worked, it brought much enjoyment when i knew i was doing something very positive for the environment but also i finally learned how much car actually works and how i could stop it from becoming another digit in the scrap yard! This makes economic self sufficiency sense because even if a car is old it doesnt mean its worthless, maybe on a commercial basis but what if you could whip out any 2nd or 3rd hand car and literally let it breath a new lease of life in it? d

Alternative Fuel and Cost saving self sufficiency! Grow permaculture and food plots with an insight into Nexus Articles and other fringe sciences!

Its an interesting technology as it can be used in gardening and powering your car and providing itself as an adaptive piece of power generation technology! We'll be starting a blog of such to explore such thigns in the near future! We are now looking into combining this with some very crazy science which - although some people dont like to explore the fringe - we decided that it warrented a look into pyramid farming. Not only does it offer a way to apparently grow much more in a small place, there has been reports from Holland and the US that such structures somehow managed to keep produce fresher, for longer and there is even science on how a pyramid can resharpen a razor blade at the molecular level to the point where it regains its inital complete structure of the blade! Food self sufficiency is a key area which we would also like to concentrate on later in the year in regards to raising animals and learn about such simple thigns like how to feed and how much to feed, all of this is needed for self sufficiency to reach a balance in your life and those around you, including the animals as a well fed animal is a happy animal!

Before anyone comments on the fringe science - open your mind and your heart to all that which has been presented to you! we approahc this as a fun and learning experiance but most of all we want to know what the peoples before us experimented, designed and understood so that we may be able to make a better effort in becoming much more efficient in farming food and making the experiance of practical self sufficiency more rewarding and less straining.

Squidoo Blog - Now Live with New projects.

Over the next couple of days (may take up to a week) We will be uploading the progress from coffee jar to usable fuel economiser in several chapters. We will be giving you an overview of HHO / hydroxy and how we are using it inside our cars. Most of the knowhow - by the way - was gleaned from teaming up with several people from the water4gas movement, but we have developed it to a much more productive state. Once again our own tested and professionally manufactured version of a browns gas generator will be available later this year. BUT first we have some backyard fun and teach you how to build your own, but we sincerely implore you to buy the book, not only as a thank you to us, but also to the inventor who has not squandered or kept anything secret, by learning the techniques to produce HHO/hydroxy/browns gas, it would expand your knowledge to the point where you can start to explore building combo-systems so you can use Solar power, wind power and hydrogen based power systems so its utilising all available sources of energy!

Anyway we will be teaching you how to save money and save fuel, also we will be teaching you how to build a hho generator (a primitive yet usable and as a proof of concept) HOWEVER we would just like to say that this is by definition NOT A browns gas generator as such, but it sometimes 'acts' like one becuase of the variable conditions and operating conditions. Sometimes you are lucky and sometimes your just out of luck but this alternative fuel system is primarily based on hydrogen for the car, not a hydrogen cell but a hydrogen on demand system for your car or boat or truck. Have a look at our water 4 gas and fuel economiser blog entries for more info.

Self Sufficiency Groups

We will be looking to hold workshops on building solar panels, wind turbine systems and other self sufficiency activities to people! We are in the process of completing our favourite projects but once we get it all documented into a presentable form so that we can teach groups of people who want to learn in a short time but in a detailed and practical yet informative way! This lets you learn and get on with the projects in a group and hopefully acts as a development phase for your community and to act as self sufficiency bonding groups - its good to know how to work with the people you intend to co-operate or live with

These will not strictly be self sufficiency courses but act as a 'knowledge' supplement, you will learn different aspects of reducing your cost of life but also how to go that extra step to making your life environmentall friendly but also it opens up further options of living rural, on the move or even to teach people or do all three and alot more! We have not finished our investigations into self sufficiency in food but we do intend to give you guys a reports on how much food is needed for communities, people aswell as animals should you want to keep livestock or just rear them to rear the land! We will try to provide a reference to seventies self sufficiency but we will also try to lend a modern slant or alternative as this site is based on the premise of working with what we got and gaining more knowledge so that the entire group can self support as well as support their entire group - remember! The group working together makes the entire community work!

We go to quite a lot of trouble to find what we consider are good books on specialist subjects so that you don’t have to filter out bits and pieces from other peoples arguments and opinions. Money is a form of packaged time, you can spend hours for your time on trawling the net, or you can buy the books that will “teach you to fish”.

Which one is spending time and which is wasting time? Start the road of self sufficiency and start learning about how you too can be self sufficient within the month!
