E#7 Surviving the Apocolypse pt.2 - The Discomfort-Zone podcast
Hi all, here is the Audio version of the seventh episode of my podcast.
This week's episode is --Surviving the Apocalypse part 2 -- How the ecoVillage can help us prepare for an unknown future, and the changes it may bring.
Last week I spoke about Ben Falk and his idea of resilience, and examined it through the dangers of pollution, food shortage, and grid faliure.
(Here's a link to part one in case you missed it.

In this week's episode, I continue our examination of how the ecoVillage model can deal with the possible dangers of the future, and how we should best prepare for it.

Hope you enjoy!
thank you! i did enjoy! it was a quick hour..wow you covered so much i hardly know where to start.. but maybe we will talk about some of it over time..
firstly thanks for the updates on the local situation.. It doesn't surprise me that they dont do things well with regards to water and keeping the land and trees alive and happy.. yes corruption, and even without it, the eyes are always on the money or protection from law suits..
I look forward in earnest to see how that all pans out. you have covered two layers of protection with your plans.. and a third layer of protection is of course the house itself. I think i will make a short video of me trying to burn a plastered and rammed tyre.. just to demonstrate its fireproofness..good one for youtube!
CRAZY info about mushroom eating radiation.. whilst that doesn't surprise me, it amazes me.. time to go to Chernobyl and grab some soil!
also real interesting to listen to you speak about how people will react if they have violent tendencies or motives.. lets say to overtake the ecoVIllage in a worst case scenario after some doomsday event.. You comment that NVC would be your weapon is just beautiful! IT immediately reminded me of a time many years ago.. I was standing outside a nightclub in Kings Cross at 3am, waiting to go home.. There were three of us and suddenly this guy comes up to us wearing a hoodie and brandishing a knife.. My friend Simon sprang into action.. he is a wizard too, and he said a few things, and then ended up saying."awe you just need a hug:" and then this guy let Simon hug him and it was all over.. wOw!
Lovely show, very soothing too.. <3
