No One Is Coming to Save You
For those of us who are Christians, we rest in the absolute knowledge that Jesus is coming back and will crush … absolutely crush our enemies. Until He comes, no one is coming to save you!
- Voting harder? Nope. Politicians are why we are in the trouble we are in.
- The right President? We already had that … and he did nothing for us.
- The common people will rise up? No, the common people are busy getting jabbed.
- The courts? Where were they when the election fraud happened? Where are they now that our civil liberties have been removed? You are simply a product to be controlled. The law and lawyers will not save you.
- The police … the Army, etc? Laughable. They are the jackboots that will stomp you out on behalf of the state.
No … you will have to save yourself.
- Start small if you have to, even just a few extra cans of food on your next expedition to Walmart. (This is the only reason you should be going to Walmart!)
- Read a book on gardening or on Home Health Care.
- Eat real food for a week. Nothing processed. Get used to real cooking again.
- Walk 1 mile per day for a week.
- Store some big jugs of water in a closet.
- Plan for how to stay warm this coming winter.
- Flip the main breaker in your electrical panel and leave it off for 24 hours. Observe. How did you and your family do? What went well? What needs fixing?
Think of every little thing you do to prepare yourself as building up credits in a game. When you get enough credits, you get to level up. Once you level up a couple times, you actually get good at the game and it becomes easier. That’s how it works.
Start today.

Be Like Ragnar: Legend
Ragnar Jonsson would often disappear into the woods for years at a time. In 1946, he arrived at the Brochet Trading Post to PU his mail and was amazed to discover that WW2 had happened while he was off in the woods. Legend!
I confess, there are many times over the past year that I had dreamt of heading off into the northern woods and just escaping the stain on history that is Covid19. Escape the tyranny. Escape ‘science.’ Escape the minute by minute, even second by second updates and ‘YOU HAVE TO HEAR THIS’ that everyone is vacuuming up and spitting out at each other.
I found Ragnar in a book about Canoeing Manitoba. (Wilderness Rivers of Manitoba by Hap Wilson and Stephany Aykroyd.) Great book BTW. Not sure how I can just disappear for years at a time, but a few days in the woods might be a good start. Stay tuned.

Doing it Soviet Style
This is what is currently happening in Lithuania. The 80’s are calling and they want their cold War back.
Seriously, how far away from this are we here in Canada? With the vax passport becoming the only way to enter many places of commerce, and often to simply hold a job … and the underground black market for food and services developing, how long before impromptu markets start springing up in back alleys of Canadian cities?
I guess the bigger question … is this a bad thing?
What if … not having a vax passport meant that instead of supporting stupid big chain stores like Walmart and Superstore where 80% of the ‘food’ is garbage, we instead had to turn to local farmers, green grocers and back alley markets?
What if you got to know your local cow farmer and discovered that he needed baby sitting 3 days a week, or needed help with homeschooling … and you were able to help in exchange for freezer beef?
Or maybe your local farmer is offering ‘shares’ in next years crop … and you got in now future proofing your food supply.
There are a lot of positives that could come from going at it ‘Soviet style’ and they too survived the cold war just as we did.

The New Normal
Canoeing the Pembina in October Friday Night:
- Campfire at home
- Reading a book and enjoying the stars with my boy
- Went to bed early. 8 hours of sleep
Saturday:
- Worked on my business for a couple hours in the morning
- Bought a used Canoe
- Packed up the truck and went to a local historical park
- There we met up with 5 other PureBlood families and their kids, somewhere around 25 people … all pure
- Had a roaring campfire
- Roasted weenies and shared deserts and salads
- Enjoyed the company of sane people – adults visited – kids roamed the woods
- Bed by 10 PM. 8 hours of sleep
Sunday:
- Home church
- Loaded up the Canoe and headed off with my boy
- Canoed the Pembina River for several hours
- Explored an abandoned house
- Picked up supper from a local restaurant who does not discriminate against the unvaxxed
- Home by 7
- Watched an hour of YouTube about a Canadian Explorer in Newfoundland with the kids
- Bed by 9:30. 8 hours of sleep
What I didn’t have was:
- Masking
- Social distancing
- Threats or extreme fear porn from satanic TV or mainstream news
- Conditioning from Manitoba politicians or ‘top docs’ or any ‘Covid Updates’
- No Pedo Hollywood movies promoting sodomy, gender dysphoria or any other deviancy
- Social media dopamine addiction (I don’t have social media on my phone anymore)
- Shopping or eating at gov approved big box stores or chains
If this is the New Normal … I’m all for it. We should never have taken part in the other ‘normal’ anyway.

Modern vs Quality
One of these stoves comes with a 1 year warranty and will likely require at least 1 major repair within 5 years.
The other one you could warranty for 100 yrs and not have a single claim.

Heat Lamps in the Chicken Coup in Winter
Needed or no?
I’m getting mixed information from my local chicken peeps. Some say you need to heat the chicken coup in winter, some say not. Until now, I have not been heating mine. My wife, being the kind caring person she is, feels they need heat and is quite upset at what I’m ‘doing to the chickens.’
Last night my buddy who has a couple dozen birds went out to check on his in the night. It was -22C. None of his birds were under the heat lamps. He has no door on his shed, so it was the same temp inside as out. Assuming his birds are smart enough to find the heat if needed, at least down to minus 22, it would seem chickens don’t need supplementary heat. We will continue to monitor them as we get into the -40’s this winter.
He did have an interesting point about them needing a certain amount of light to keep producing. Mine are still laying 15 eggs a day (from 15 birds,) so they seem to be getting enough light, but we are still almost a month away from the Winter Solstice. I’ll need to observe and monitor their production as the amount of daylight drops.
The main change I’ve noticed is that they are eating a LOT more feed. This will partly be due to not getting as much scrounged food from the yard, but also I suspect their metabolism ramps up as they generate their own heat. I know larger animals such as cows do the same in winter … eat a lot more as they burn the feed to keep warm.
Will continue to experiment and learn from our 1st winter with chickens. Any advice or input would be appreciated!

Its a Spiritual Battle Between Good and Evil
The battle now, and has always been, between good and evil. Along came Covid and we see many choosing Evil because it was convenient/easier. Apparently many were not up for the battle. The warriors have turned out to be few.
I’m especially surprised (maybe I shouldn’t have been,) at how many professing Christians have chosen to side with Evil. More surprising would be the reasons given:
- I want to travel (probably the number 1 reason I hear out here)
- I want to go out with friends/family
- I want to watch my kids play sports
- or worse, I want to watch people who are not my kids playing sportsball
- My ‘friends’ are all vaxxed

Another Day in Paradise
The snows have finally arrived here in Manitoba. A good 10-12 inches and a bit of blowing … all good moisture. The Lord is good!

Stocking Up
We live in a time where if you follow what the politicians tell you to do, you are endangering your own life. In the past, the elites really didn’t care if we lived or died. ‘Let them eat cake,’ betrayed how out of touch the government was with the common people. Now they just want you dead.
The most telling line in the lie above is ‘there is no need to buy more than you normally would.’ Just a gentle pat on the head telling you to go quietly and give in to the inevitable. If you will just die quietly, without causing any sort of panic, we would appreciate it. Thank you.
There is a reason why Joseph was instructed of God to build granaries and to stock up for the coming famine. There is a reason why the virgins who stocked up on oil were called wise while those who ‘bought no more than they normally would’ were called foolish. Be like Joseph. Be wise.
I’ve recently seen some Christians parroting a similar line, saying that it is wrong for us to stock up because not everybody has the money to stock up, so if we buy more than normal, when the famine comes the poor will not have anything left to buy. Again. Wrong. If you want to provide charity to the poor (or foolish,) that is your decision as guided by God. When you make that a rule for other Christians, or a use it as a way to virtue signal, you are putting others under your law and creating discord among Christians. Further, when the time comes, you will not be able to help your precious poor (foolish) anyway, because you were foolish yourself. This line of thinking just leaves me shaking my head.
Stores may limit the amount of certain items you can buy. That is fine. That is their prerogative. But there is no need to obey a politician who is lying to you and telling you that ‘everything will be OK’ while on the other hand that same politician is stirring the waters of war, illness and death.
Be wise. See the times we are living in. Care for your family. Even prepare for your foolish friends. But whatever you do, do NOT blindly listen to those that hate you. They serve the fallen one. Do not go with them into the fire.

How To Use Social Media
Before we begin, maybe I should briefly address when to not use social media.
- If you are on the run, do not use social media.
- If you lean to the right and are participating in potential dissident action or thought, you should not be on social media (I’ll explain in a sec.)
- If you need attention, are driven by approval from others, or can’t stand criticism then social media will be bad for you. Dopamine is a drug and when coupled with narcissism can be deadly.
- If you have no real life friends (what I mean by this is, someone you could call at 3am to help you bury a body), you should set aside social media and find your tribe.
