How then, do we move backwards? How does a society, with most of the people having no clue of future events, move from being dependent on a vast and intertwined network of goods and services produced by the indigenous people of whereever, to a local resource and renewable energy based society, and do so in the timeframe available (20-30 years using the most liberal extimates, 10-20 with resonable estimates, 5-10 with worst case scenarios), all the while prices on everything increasing, world politics getting more militaristic, governments continuously reducing civil liberties, shortages of goods on the market and weather patterns resembling bad Hollywood movies?

Here is a video series on making clothing from Rabbit wool. Remember in a post peak world you will freeze before you starve.

I am little more concerned about massive riots here in SoCal. Smile

But a hat has a much longer shelf life than a bag or rice. Wink

Oh, this is good!

One of the things I want to do this year is get some angoras and learn to spin. These are really helpful. Very Happy

Very inspiring indeed. I've been a bit 'down' recently but along comes Garden Girl and cheers me up! I love watching the video where you knit, and you can hear the chickens in the background! That's got to be quite soothing.

Thanks..

Laurasia: Well I am so happy my video helped provide a little pick you up. That is why I made the videos, to inspire and make people feel empowered over there own destiny. Thank you for the comment, you have made my week.

I am in New York this week auditioning for a Green Talk show. I don't think I want the job, but what the heck we'll see what happens.

RedState: I hope you get some bunnies, they are trickier to raise then other rabbits, but a lot of fun. Like mini sheep.

Besos people,

I have four large bags of sheep wool I need to process. I'll probably be making felt, not spinning, as there is less equipment needed.

Ludi: I hope you get it processed. I have a bunch of wool here that I need to finish. I want to find a local mini mill, but I'll get it done eventually.
