Rough times are here and the outlook isn't good. Our normal way of doing things is becoming more untenable daily. I've felt this day coming for a very long time. My wilderness living has given me a special sensitivity and motivation on how best to solve this problem.

 

A good solution is a simple solution. But to discover that simplicity is the most difficult task. It's like trying to do a job with inadequate tools. One tries every sort of improvisation but the result falls short. One walks away in frustration.

 

Uncannily, one thing I've learned is that only when one has fundamentally given up on an insurmountable problem, is one the closest to solving the problem. A talk with a friend, an idea out of the blue, a gnawing desire to somehow persist, keeps the door cracked open the tiniest amount.

 

Almost magically, a solution arises, an idea remotely connected with bad ideas, and a new energy and impetus powers one back into battle. The fresh approach isn't precisely the answer, but with some additional tinkering becomes the answer and another step forward has finally been achieved. Then, in retrospect, one thinks, "But it was so obvious!” So simple.

 

Time goes flying by and even the better part of a lifetime goes by. The focused path one has navigated becomes unfathomable to almost everyone, as words do little justice to illuminate the journey. However, if one is lucky, the path emerges at a point where change and personal responsibility merge into the "Urgency of Now". We can be too late if the moment is not seized.
I offer to you here a three in one opportunity.

 

1. Become rent and mortgage free, the critical first step to pursuing your personal "I will", liberated from the bondage of "Thou Shalt".
I made that step by buying a rugged difficult mining claim, moving into an army tent, and pounding up a rammed earth room to urgently move into. One is then "headquartered" to venture forth with one's challenge and fulfillment. A major criterion is to choose a beautiful location, off the beaten path, where privacy allows one to be distraction free and to be able to think one's own thoughts.

 

2. Gain an education into new necessary means to enhance one's independence, eliminating dependence on external linkages beyond one's control.
Given shelter, then comes food and energy. The obvious solution is to utilize an attached south facing greenhouse for solar heat production and year round food cultivation. Nothing keeps one sharper than being intimately connected with the natural elements and successfully harmonizing with them. A high mass concrete structure enhanced with water thermal storage can provide zero energy comfort and security through all of Nature's extremes.

 

3. An investment for income and future financial security.
 
Can one appreciate how typical and yet unbelievable that Bill Gates with his operating system would be rejected by IBM? The lesson is the status quo cannot assimilate and change must result from self financed independent action. One can seek out loans and investors, but then one's efforts are diluted by serving them in addition to one's self. That can be okay and extremely helpful, but it would definitely be better for the players, the hands on participants, to be the owner operators. The added responsibility for the outcome creates a more dedicated serious approach and subsequent increased reward.

 

To invest in a manufacturing facility producing ultimately useful patent protected building components to serving the urgency of now guarantees gainful employment. As success is gained, one's ownership in a corporate structure will increase the value of the investment with a goal of "going public” within three years. At that point one can plan the exit from daily responsibility and become an emissary of appropriate global adaption, helping others gain the same reward.

 

A new paradigm is needed, actually a return to an older one in the cyclic nature of time, a return to hands in the earth. Rooftops used as gardens, entertainment decks, and accessible solar equipment buttressed by the strength of reinforced concrete. One only needs the right tool for the job. This is it.
