VIDEO: Garden 2012 lessons learned part 2
What did I learn this year?
Category: The Self Sufficient Life
Description:
I have always been a very independent person. It boggles my mind how someone could be satisfied being totally dependent on a system, a government or another person. To me, for an adult to be totally dependent is the equivalency of slavery. My life is simple. I do not need the intricate technology that marketing “experts” have convinced so many that they must have and neither does anyone else. There is nothing wrong with technology. After all, I have a computer. However, there is something very wrong with allowing yourself to become a slave to it. If one wants to be free one must return to the basics and one must, once again, think for themselves.You will find videos made by myself and playlists consisting of videos from others to help you become self sufficient. I am also re-learning. I forgot much over the years. Please comment on my videos so I will know if I have helped. Please comment, add info and send video responses.

Thanks to http://www.youtube.com/user/Reallybigmonkey1 for giving my daughter the inspiration to beg me to make a tent. I’ve been wanting to do a series on quick poncho hootch configurations and thought that it would be nice to start out with a vid of my daughter making her first attempt.

VIDEO: Sunrise in St Gallenkirch, Austria
Spent a week in Austria hiking and teaching my daughter about nature. Loved the sunrise and the next day set up the camera on a tripod. Didn’t have a timer feature so stood there for 1 1/2 hour taking a picture each minute. Clouds began to come in and had to cut it short.

VIDEO: Powdery Mildew Control

Many are my own design and the photos were taken in the beginning stages. I don’t have photos of the refined designs. Many are from events and restaurants that I worked. I don’t do the clown character anymore because I developed a sensitivity to the greasepaint and my face now cracks and bleeds in only…
