RE: ⒶⒷⓇⒶⒽⒶⓂ - your children are a strong reflection of the way you are feeling
I have just downloaded it now. Thanks very much for thinking of us.
This book is seriously jammed with information & I am sure will come in handy one day :)
It is marvellous to see how much your kids have grown - you must be very proud of them.
For your travels, I got instructions for making small amounts of drinking water:

Thanks! Another very useful one :)
I have somewhere, in one of my hard drives, a really good video with a 'show-and-tell' of how to create a rainwater filtration system, built into the ground. I hope I can find it as YT seems to have deleted it.
A few years ago my brother took me with as we went to visit someone living in what they call 'plots' over here. A plot is a home with land of at least 3ha, but usually more like 10 to 40 ha. It is also outside of any municipality and thus they can avoid tying in to the sewerage, water and electricity...if that is what they want.
This house we went to, we were shown how he had dug a hole, square, a metre by a metre and maybe a bit more in depth. It was filled with water and from neighbouring plots he collected horse and cow manure, which he dumped in the water. As it created gas, it turned a generator and so he had electricity, with refigerators, freezers, electric cooking and ovens, plus tv and heating of his home. The gas he also used for providing lights and for heating if it gets very cold.
His own sewerage came out in a pond, and the water from there was clean enough to drink and there was no smell - I seem to recall it being called the open french sewerage system....
What I am saying is, there is a lot you can do for becoming totally independant and none of it is expensive, just a bit of a hassle to set up.
Any info you want, please let me know.
So interesting all of this! Crazy how much we (generally) seem to have forgotten it... and not passed on the knowledge to our children as once we would have done.
It doesn't sound possible running all those appliances from a natural gas. But what do I know? Only that my mind has been conditioned to think it doesn't sound possible!
I feel as if this is a subject I should study in detail.
So yes, if you find any well presented info online, please do let me know.
Okay - unfortunately google is busy get rid of all of it, but maybe I can find a way to make available what I have on my hard drives.
Good old google! Inevitable really.
I use wetransfer.com for things like this where there is no need to set up an account. They offer up to 2GB transfers for free. Once the download link is created you could just drop the link here? Alternatively i could give you my email but we would have to find a more private way to get it to you.
Am most grateful for any time you spend on this!
No problem about placing a link here. I have used them before so it is something I know.
I just checked, they need an email to addy, so you can contact me here (it is an encrypted email box, so no one can see your email.

I have just sent you an email ;)
