You have to have full Californication before all the idiotic laws can start being passed. Mag capacity is a bellwether law. They won't pass them all at once, but now that they got the mag capacity law passed, it's just a matter of slow rolling the rest out because they know they have enough support to pass idiotic gun laws.
 
Slow down folks, if the russians and chinese do not want to invade America because there are tooo many guns and tooo much ammo...who the hell are the demoncraps to try and "de-gun" the patriots...they are cowards, liars and have no backbone for a REAL fight, like REAL terrorists: LESS than 5% of terrorist attacks are real attacks and not cowardly bombing of innocents at or in a so-called "SOFT" target. Very seldom is a military base, police station or a "HARD" target attacked. They can pass all the bills they want, they do not come into effect till they are signed-sealed-and-delivered and even then they can be fought in courts, in each state and even in each county till they are watered down and diluted, struck down or just not supported since the manpower needed to control each and every of the 250 million gun owners would take too long, cost too much and would be fought from house to house with the very same magazines and weapons THEY think they can take or make illegal....live free and do not swallow the BS from them and keep taking the blue pill of fear...Gary
 
Okay…here goes. Time for some “war gaming”.

The Great Reset. In order to prepare you have to know your enemy. How they think, act and how they will attack.

Rather than arguing the legitimacy or politics of it, for S**** & Giggles, let’s assume they are full steam ahead and that the Russian war only serves to further their opportunities (economic collapse, oil prices, etc).

So, how do you think they will achieve their goal of “In 2030 you will own nothing”? To me it seems as though it will be pretty easy to get most urban and suburbanites to that point but, what about people who are more "prepared" and freedom minded?

Scenario: Smaller Farmer with no debt, no mortgage, farms sustainably, using approved “green” methods (permaculture, bio-diversity, agro-forestry, renewable energy, livestock is minimal etc). They are largely self-sustainable and eat what they grow/raise. Has enough money in the bank as well as gold, silver etc, to pay income taxes for decades even if they quadruple.

How will the global elites bring them down and legally justify taking their property from them here in the US? How would you defend against it?
Its easy. They could just change the zoning on your land and tax you out, or by over burdensome and costly regulations. They could make it where agriculture is no longer an approved activity. If you have any water on your property they can get the EPA to classify it as belonging to the state. Or they could find some insignificant rodent or bug in the area and "take" your land to protect these critters. There are countless other ways that government can, and already do, run people off their land. It happens every day. Its kind of sad that some people still think we live in a free country.

The point is, they are doing it. Today magazines, tomorrow ammo, and lastly guns themselves. The problem is the vast majority of gun owners are good, law abiding people, who support the police and will not have a shoot out with the same guns they are coming to take. Most will hand over what they haven't hidden. The left REFUSES to prosecute the gangs with their illegal guns, but law abiding people are being attacked. If the SCOTUS does NOT protect our rights and freedoms under 2A, it will tear America apart, and CW WILL happen.

That is when people will fight back. When they have nothing, they have nothing to lose.

I guess that is where it becomes important as to where you live. In Texas the State already has jurisdiction over "Navigable" waters but, anything beneath the ground belongs to the land owner. It is not a state hostile towards land owners or agriculture...actually it is quite the opposite.

I guess what I am saying is I trust my State (for now)....the Feds are a different story.
 
Pretty much spot on, but, I guess I haven’t risen to the level where I feel so threatened yet as to have to make like a rock thank goodness.

My Grandmother and her entire family survived the Holodomor in Ukraine. It can be done.

I live in a state that so far doesn’t put up with messing with agricultural producers much. Not to say they won’t, if their arm gets twisted by the feds in the right position, just that I think they know that is a can of worms best left sealed.

I will add a few things to the list…plant perennial plants vs annual plants.

First off, perennials are much less affected in a weather extreme such as drought or late frost. The plants may die back a bit or produce less but, not completely die. Secondly, they can often be planted in a multi-storied environment, such as in partial shade or filtered sun. Almost all annuals require full sun in order to produce well. This difference in perennials allows them to be planted beneath trees and hide in a forest.

Many plants that will grow in a natural environment will be hard to distinguish from their poisonous brethren. Having a few confusing ones in there might scare some off from trying to pilfer them.

Mushrooms are one obvious example

That looks a lot like the agarita.
Used to pick the berries when I lived in Junction Tx. We'd lay a sheet under the bush and give it a good shake.
I'd say it's the same bush.

bingo! I put the tarp under it and hit it "nicely" with a baseball bat. Prickly leaves but, yum!

I see you are in central Texas. It is all over the hill country, kind of like a weed. It pops up all over. It should be producing berries soon (I'll go see what stage some of ours is at and let you know). The leaves are stiff and prickly (like most plants west of I-35, and the wood is bright yellow. It can also be used to make dye for fabric/yarn.
 
We are at this stage. Should be ready by mid May.

My mouth is watering just thinking about them...a cross between a raspberry and strawberry in taste...awesome as a jelly or syrup! Ooooooh yeah!
 
They only grow in semi arid conditions like you find in the Texas Hill Country and mostly in the western side of the Hill Country like Junction Texas.

i am going to try to transplant some after fruiting to the BOL in the east (inwell drained soil) and see how they do.

Might be a good idea to put them in pots which gives you a lot more control over the water content.
Put em on casters you can roll them undercover if they get to much rain.
In Junction we got around 16 inches of rain a year and it was in four rainfalls,compared to Houston where we get 36 inches.
Let me know if it works. I might even give em a try here in Houston.
 
I will just transplant and see how it goes. Survival of the fittest. If TSHTF, I am going to have a lot to do and don't want to be messing with things that waste time and calories.

We get 48 at the BOL #2; At BOL #1 (Eastern Hill Country) where we have these everywhere like weeds, we get 36"...so, I think they should work for you.

I'm going to start watching the vegetation at our BOL cabin property, roughly 1 hr. east of Austin. It's sandy and arid in the area, so there's likely some around that area. Maybe not. I'll start looking around more. I probably would notice them from the roadway without fruit or berries on them. From your description of the taste, now I want to get one and let it take off 'like a weed' somewhere on our 40 acres.

If you dont have them on your BOL you should be able to plant some.
They were all over our place in Junction.

One hour east of Austin may be to wet.
You might have to go further west to find some.
 
OK. I had to look on the map to see where Junction is. We used to have a friend we both taught school with in Mason. He had a big ranch there. Nice area with some great old Victorian homes in the town.

We had two properties on the S. Llano river.
I still kick myself in the *** for selling them. The last place we bought was 350k and we sold it two years later fo 480k so it was profitable.
Junction is pretty much the last frontier in the Hill Country,once you go west of that it's pretty much **** land with no water.
 
And I'm regretting our two places are 'roughly (ONLY) an hour east of Austin. Can you quote yourself? LOL Our realtor of 10 years sent us a picture of a (maybe 1500 s.f.) house in Austin that she thought worth about $60,000 eventually sold for $500,00, so I'm not surprised. We've thought about selling our smaller piece (only 14 acres). Big demand nowadays. We paid $200K and she said it would probably get double that now. So did the county tax office there when my husband went in to pay our taxes on both parcels. He mentioned we'd thought about sellling it while paying up. She replied, be sure you realize most land in the area is worth about 2 times more than when we bought it 1/2 years ago. I was stunned.
