Dropout 2020 – Introduction
Serialisation of my book Dropout 2020
Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION
This book is for people wanting to drop out and live a sustainable life style as a framework for their lives. Some of you want to escape the rat race, work online or locally, and have a natural and peaceful existence with your family and loved ones. Others, want to drop out and live a more serious sustainable and survivable existence. This book is for everyone looking for a new life in the country because they are not happy with the way the world is going at the moment: spiritually, economically, technically and politically. It is a basic handbook outlining the basic groundwork of dropping out, with a mixture of information from my past as a drop out in the 60’s, modern day prepping skills and technology. The reasons for dropping out are increasing since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic which has exposed governments around the world being unable and unwilling to support and nurture us in times of need and disaster. Simply and seriously, we have to do it ourselves. We don’t know the future for sure; what we do know is that we want to live long and sustainable lives, with a minimum of interference from corrupt governments and corporations.
There appears to me, and many others, the world is at a turning point: AI, Robots, Economy, Big Tech, Big Pharma, Globalists, Governments, Politicians, Immigration, Health and Education are all becoming more socialist and fascist. The common human is becoming a slave, has become, to the rich and powerful and the Covid-19 pandemic has exposed a lot of them for who they are and also exposed our own weaknesses and dependencies. I can remember the joy of building my own cottage using second hand materials and cash. Learning to build, growing vegetables, making our own clothes and consuming simple and nourishing food was incredibly peaceful and liberating. Time to get out of the system that is now completely and only a system for its own good not ours.
This book can help you to build/ restore your own house, grow, cook and preserve food, and take care of your health and education. It also offers up spiritual insights and options as well as living and working within a small community. What it does best is give you a good starting point to start a new life, without all the materialistic pressures of modern day living as well as getting back to the basics which are golden, and will always be golden. Technology is only just started to enslave us, there is a lot more to come: AI, robots, space wars, digital money, surveillance, social credits and more pandemics. A war between the ones with their hands in the till and us has begun. As long as you stay in the system you will have little choice to obey. Once out of it and relatively independent, plus a few guns, you should be able to live a good life with likeminded people.
In the past I have built my own house, organized a watering system, developed a productive vegetable garden and lived happily in a community of likeminded people: back in the 70’s. I have lived through the past and the future: no telephones, no TV, a few cars, no Internet and now, a world full of people who can’t wait for their next fix: playing a computer game and another hundred selfies. I am not Christian or any religion. I am like this because I want to keep an open mind and heart. I can say that many Christian beliefs and values are under threat and that threat is coming from socialists and communists that have a history of killing and torturing religious people. I sincerely hope that the basic Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Native and Hindu philosophies and wisdoms are not lost. Without them we will succumb to a world government that doesn’t give a rat’s ass about people, their lives and their inalienable rights.
Living in Castlemaine was a struggle sometimes but we loved the outdoor lifestyle and the freedom it brought. I would like to go back to those good old days after years and years of working in jobs and struggling to survive, getting crazier by the hour. Now the future is here and it’s not a choice anymore, it’s a necessity to drop out and survivor or at last make a plan, find the perfect balance of a new life in the peaceful country side, working online and at the same time being ready to survive any situation. The major step is to be living somewhere peaceful, safe and nurturing. You have to decide here and now, if you want to be one of the top city dogs and be prepared to walk over anybody and anything to survive: I am not prepared to do that.
I hope the idea of everyone being born equal and having equal rights and people working together to maintain those equal rights even if it means using a gun is the new religion without any political, racial and financial dogma. What I see of communist China is the mirage of people’s standards of living rising accompanied with the total loss of freedom. Maybe they have a better house than before, and maybe they have more food to eat, and with it more debt and stress. There’s no freedom if the Communist Party doesn’t like you because of your religion or politics, then you’re screwed totally screwed.
I hope you get a lot of valuable information out of this book I will update it more and more over the next 12 months so I cover every possible scenario that you may need to understand if you have dropped out and feel isolated. I suggest you save this file or print it out or read it all and take notes of the specific things that relate to you right now. There is no other option whether you drop out with money or drop out with no money it is much the same idea, a basic home, a basic farm, basic tools, basic animals, basic food, basic, basic, basic. Why is that, because you don’t want anything too complicated, that is hard to fix and maintain and hard to manage.
You need things that will sustain you: fishing rods that work, you need push bikes that don’t break down, you need motorcycles that are easily fixed. You need to run everything on diesel and have a large diesel storage tank and that storage tank needs to be hidden very well. Camouflaging it so people don’t know you have a storage tank underground would be ideal, now is the time to put in a tank. Make sure you have a diesel vehicle, not sure about a diesel motorbike, that’s something I will have to look into but a large amount of diesel could keep you going for years and years including a diesel generator, a diesel water pump, a diesel truck, diesel lighting and diesel heating and cooling. Important things to consider, whether you are dropping out or you are a prepper or farmer. You should always consider Richard Overton. Following someone with a small footprint on the planet. Someone with a simple life and a simple philosophy about life and being happy. What makes you happy and what makes your family happy. Going BACK to the basics, going back to being loyal to each other, loving your family, spending time with your family, cooking nutritious food, growing food, using herbs for your health and educating yourself whenever possible. Stop playing computer games, stop watching movies “every night” get rid of your TV. I haven’t had a TV for 15 years. You don’t you need a complicated car with lots of computerized parts on it. You need a simple farm truck, like a Ford F100 but runs on diesel, and easy to fix. Simple communications: a heavy-duty walkie-talkie and/or ham radio. A simple gun that is easy to clean and easy to maintain. Even wind-up clocks could be good. Definitely a wheat grinder and lots of bulk food and knowing how to store the bulk food without it being damaged and going off. Control your vermin, make sure you have no rats, no ants, no bugs in your house it could ruin your food. I love baked beans so it would be good to buy as many cans of baked beans as you can (or Navy Beans to make them) that’s a little bit on the prepper side.
Even if the world settles down in the future, you can always have baked beans and chili on sourdough bread smothered in cold pressed olive oil. Talking about olive oil you need to buy lots of large drums of good quality olive oil and bags of wheat. When you are cooking, especially in winter you can you cook on a wood stove (it will warm up your kitchen). I used to have a wood stove and could cook anything in it, all you need is some wood. If your house is near a forest or a grove of trees you can collect some dead wood. Firewood would be fantastic option, so you’re not having to depend only on diesel for your heating and cooking.
Somewhere to fish would be very helpful, like a river or lake not so far away. a place where you can ride your motorbike, mountain bike or even walk. You can dry some fish as well. In Asia, they salt it and dry it.
If there’s some rabbits you can shoot some as needed. My father loved eating braised rabbits and curried crayfish. I dropped out for many years and it cost very little to live, on basic things. The kind of money we spend now on dinner in one night could keep us alive for 2 months. Now is a good time to change our philosophy on life we have to look at the simple teachings of wisdom and love from many religions follow our conscience do what’s right.
When you drop out it’s a good idea to drop out of the systems running around inside your brain, the ones the system form when you were young, innocent and vulnerable. By your family, your school by, by religions, governments and by imaginary Heroes. You don’t need any of that anymore. You don’t need to have a religion, you don’t have to have a sports team, you don’t have to follow any body, you need to put your SELF, your family, your environment and your survival first; your new religion, and try to understand the word god means the energy in the universe. God can be Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, your SELF, Red Indian, Eskimo, Aboriginal etc. God is not exclusive, but inclusive.
You can be happy and fulfilled not belonging to any team. And belong to your loved ones. We belong to a family, who belongs to the environment, and to the universe. We are an important part of the inclusiveness.
You no be free from everything that creates confusion and negativity in your SELF. Follow your inner voice, you are spirit, you are intuition, you are a tree.
