The introduction to my book, Dropout 2020. A book for my daughter who wants to dropout.
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.
Love the Ones You’re With
Love them more and more and more. Build your lives together.
When I moved into the forest at Castlemaine I was ‘still’ scared of the dark. For many years I stayed close to the house at night in case the scary goblins and witches and monsters attacked me. This was when I had a partner. One night, after being single for a week, I had, had enough of being scared. I went for a walk, it was a full moon, and I said, yelled, cajoled, come and get me goblins come and get me witches and nothing came and got me; they were more scared of me than I ever knew, until now. From that night on I was free of all childhood scary things and could walk through the forest at night and go anywhere anytime, the most wonderful feeling ever.
When you go and drop out in the country maybe it’s near forest or in a forest and you can’t see a house anywhere, you feel all by yourself. When the night comes and the Moon rises you may be like me and run inside and lock all the doors and hide in the bath. There is a better way, face your fears, go out for a walk just like I did, and embrace the Moon, the Stars, the noise of the forest and feel no fear ever again, after all we are animals too and all things natural are part and parcel of who we are too.
Catching sheep
This sounds a little crazy and it was a little crazy; on my little block of land I had five black sheep and every year someone had to come and shear them. They were quite wild and it was difficult to catch them, so I came up with a brainwave. I got an old blanket and walked into the small field where the sheep were and lay under the blanket with my hand ready to grab their legs when they walk past. I put some food around the edge of the blanket and waited for what seemed like hours. I can’t remember if it worked or not? I’m sure it didn’t work and they made a complete fool of me and afterwards I drank two buckets of water after nearly asphyxiating under the blanket on a hot Summer’s afternoon. If you are doing something sometimes and you think you feel crazy and you don’t know what you’re doing just remember me and under the blanket trying to catch the wild sheep for the yearly shearing and laugh and keep going.
Swimming holes
Because Australia is very hot and sometimes it is 45 or 50° people like to go swimming and all we had was a giant lake full of dirty brown water. To get to the water you had to walk over rocks and mud. Once you were in it was okay. It was wet and cool, like water everywhere. After an hour of this Outback Australia bliss, we got out and lay on some rocks and sun baked for a while, and back in again. It was a far cry from surfing in the ocean where I was born, a very far cry. Yet, still a lot of fun to go to the lake and go swimming. I actually went skiing on it a couple of times and out in the middle, the water looks blue instead of dirty brown, reflecting the sky above, like you were sliding on heaven, wow, until you fell off and then your heavenly dreams crashed back down to Earth. Water can feel pretty hard at speed. It is good to get away from crowded beaches and swimming pools, have some fun and recreation a picnic by the river, a favorite swimming hole. If you have a lake nearby you can spend hours and hours relaxing and swimming, sleeping, and snacking with your family it is an awesome thing to do.
Horse Riding
The second time I lived in a forest my wife loved to ride horses so I learned to ride horses too. We bought two horses and two saddles and we would often ride out the gate out of town, up the hill and into the forest without knowing or caring, exactly where we were going. The horses would walk up hills, then run down the other side and always try to turn and go home. I remember one day we just rode and road for 4 hours until we came to forests end, miles and miles away. We climbed a mountain and saw a beautiful view of farmland, adjoining the forest, all the way to the city of Melbourne. After a nice picnic, we rode back, and, oh oh, the sun was already starting fade and we weren’t sure how to get home. Never mind, we thought the horses knew how to get home by themselves so we let them take us. Around halfway the sun went out, it was dark you couldn’t see all the large spiders that were smacking into your face, sitting there in their webs between the trees. You also couldn’t see branches that tried to poke your eyes out and all the way you could feel and hear the club, click, clock of the horses’ hoofs, dying to get home to eat food and rest after their long walk. Eventually, and amazingly around 8 pm an amazingly we saw the lights of town. Two tired crazy riders and two very tired horses snuck back into town. We all slept very well that night. If you have enough food for your horses and acres of forest and mountains to ride in, horses can be a lot of fun, practical too if you need to go bush for a few months.
When you drop out, you can drop in and out and do some fun things that maybe cost extra money but are good for the soul; fun. Instead of riding bikes through your land to go fishing you can go fishing with your horses and hunting. I guess if you’re using a gun, you’re probably want to use it off the horse but there’s no reason you can’t ride your horse to the river and catch some fish and go swimming in the river. Going on a picnic, with horses is truly amazing.
Water system
My water system didn’t exist before we bought the small stone cottage, which sat on a small rocky hill just on the edge of the forest. There was no well, no river, no water tank and not a lot of rain. In Australia the summers are hot and it never rains during the summer months. One day I saw what looked like a puddle of water, which turned out to be a sinkhole in the bottom of a dry creek near the house. I bought a single stroke flywheel engine to pump water up to a tank near the house which meant a trip down into the creek every couple of days to pump water. I was glad to have it but sometimes the water ran out and it wasn’t that convenient. The next step was to get a bulldozer to dig a dam back inside the forest up the hill so the water could be gravity fed down to the house. This worked pretty well but it wasn’t high enough to feed into a header for the house, OK for the garden though. I still had to use the pump.
When you are organizing your water, you have to think what you would do if you have no electricity or no power for your pump, this is a good reason to have a lot of diesel in storage and a diesel water pump. Say you run out of diesel and you don’t have electricity then you have to think about gravity fed, solar powered fed or windmill fed water. If you have the resources and there’s a good spot above the house between two hills with a small valley where you can put in a dam using a bulldozer, it will catch the water and it will gravity feed to your garden and to your house you can use it instead of pumping from a river or from a well and you can fill it full of fish. That’s something to think about.
In Australia people have dams everywhere, the only source of drinking water for cows and sheep. windmills are often used to pump water from a dam to the house and domestic animal troughs. You can also use a windmill to pump from an underground stream. by drilling down to it and sending pipe down to the water. Windmills are very common in Australia I don’t know about the rest of the world but they just run by wind and I will creak, groan and rattle, a part of the natural environment and daily sounds and rhythms. Pumping water into a tank all day long for free. If you have gravity feed from a damn and you have a windmill, and you have diesel powered water pumps you will always have water.
Building
I have a large section on building your own house, this is an update. It is important to look at other buildings to learn how to do your own. it is possible to follow house plans, and you can make your own plans but the most important thing is to look at other buildings. Whenever you go to a friend’s house or into town look at how things are made, write a few notes, start a recipe book on building. Make notes and sketches: the size of beams in the wall and the roof. Always carry a tape measure with you. measure everything, oh it’s an 8×2 inch beam, OK I know that now. And how do they attach the beam to the roof, and what size are the doors. Measure the doors, OK that’s a door and look at the windows and measure the size of windows. When you’re inside the house measure the height of the ceiling. OK, now you know it’s 8 ft, 9 ft, or 10 ft. A recipe book for building may take you two weeks, it may take you 2 years as long as you’re filling it up with interesting little bits of information on how things are made. If someone has a barn, measure it all and sketch the beams and angles.
Now you know how big a barn is. 30 ft by 60 ft, how high are the walls, what did they cover the barn with. Is it covered with boards, what size are those boards, are they 6 by 1-inch boards? Are the boards natural or did they put some kind of stain on them. OK, it is it a black stain, what is that stain find out what it is if someone knows whether it’s wood stain or old sump oil from cars which is good for keeping wood waterproof. Look at how the frames are made, if the poles are made of concrete, steel or wood. These days people use steel more than wood. If they are steel, measure the size of steel and before you know it your recipe for building will give you a really delicious yummy building dish, then all you have to do is make sure everything is vertical and horizontal using a spirit level and square using a square.
Once you make sure everything is square and vertical you can build anything and when in doubt make it bigger. I did some of my beams on my house bigger than they needed to be but better be safe than sorry, I guess. You can build a whole house using a hammer, saw, trowel, spirit level, tape measure and a chisel. Building a simple house is pretty easy once you have your recipe book. Even if you do have plenty of buildings nearby to copy, you can also look on the Internet and look at other building books and get more recipes, get more ideas. Maybe you need to build a staircase, fill out your recipe book with a staircase recipe. What angle is it what size are the treads and the risers and how do they sit the treads and risers into the boards on the sides. How do you go around a corner etc.
You wouldn’t cook a meal without a recipe would you. without a recipe you have no idea what it will be like. High on your list of things to do is a building recipe book and if you’re already have a building, you’ve bought an old house then you start a renovation recipe book. You can fill it with lots of new ideas about what paint you use how to get paint off, undercoats, how to repair broken windows, replace broken tiles and you can do all this from the comfort of your home. Many people will buy a property while they still live in a city and spend time getting everything ready before they actually move in, so this is a good time to get your recipe book in order all you have to do is look up a page. Hey, I’ve got a broken window how do I get it out how do I put a new one in, how do I cut glass, what materials do I need, what tools do I need.
Recipe books
This book you’re reading is a bit like the recipe book I’m talking about; you should make your own. You need a building recipe book, you need a gardening recipe book, you need a fruit tree recipe book, you need a water recipe book, a security recipe book, a fishing recipe book, so you can build your life, build your future, build your knowledge, build your strength and power. With your recipe books, not only you can have a reference on how to do something whenever you need it, so can your family and your children. They will value these very much, when they can just go to book open it up to staircase and build one. Or open it up to Pizza oven, oh now I know how to build a pizza oven, yay, we can eat pizzas, open it up to spinning wool magic…
Relationships
It is important to have family meetings when you drop out because you will have time to work together as a team. I feel every team member should feel equal at these meetings no matter how old. many things can then be decided in a meeting and voted on and talked about. The most important thing is what people want to do and this should be decided on sex or age, if a girl or woman wants to build, she can build. If a man wants to cook let him cook. In a traditional farm environment, you can imagine the woman baking cookies and the man out there riding his horse and bringing in the cows that’s fine if that’s what people want. My idea of equality is choice, regardless of your age, your race, your sex, all things can be done by choice.
But, given all religions give the power to men and the religions were run by men written by men to seek power over women, some corrections to this myth are needed. No one has power over anyone, people are people, maybe women and men come from Venus and Mars and do things differently for different reasons, sure, but never ever take away someone’s freedom of choice based on what the Bible says, what your father says, what your mother says or what you think is normal. Always remember our bodies are vehicles for our soul. They are different like snowflakes and clouds. they do not reflect who we are inside. You should never let yourself be imprisoned by your body because your soul is not white or black, rich or poor, female or male. Be open, support everybody: do unto others as you would unto yourself, which is really, really important when you drop out. You do not want tension (bring baggage with you) or unnecessary stress unnecessary pain and suffering. You want to have the best of the best you want to maximize your happiness, maximize your joy and there is no way you can do that without freedom of choice.
Meetings and conversations about daily affairs and no boss, absolutely no boss, only teamwork. I believe children are smarter than we give them credit for, they are wiser than we give them credit for, and I think they are only small because they needed to come out of their mother’s womb. Because their body’s small does not mean their brain activity is small, does not mean they’re heart function is small. I have discovered working with children over many years that if you treat them like a baby, they’ll be a baby if you treat them like you would an equal, they will be an equal. Children are what you make them, they can’t fend for themselves. They don’t know some things about the world, but you’re feeding them, you’re supplying them. Like a dog is loyal to you because you give them food the moment you stop giving them food, they will not be loyal anymore so don’t overuse your power, don’t think that you’re the boss because you’re the adult and you’re so smart, so children have to do what you tell them.
If you are like this you will not get the benefit of their wisdom, or the benefit of their creative genius. NASA did research and found up to the age of seven children are natural creative geniuses by tapping into them into their soul and spirit. Much easier than adults do and based on that evidence from NASA we would be very smart to listen to our children much more often because they are operating on a alpha mind wave level which is more aware and more sensitive and more astute so don’t be too proud don’t be too willful be humble. Dropping out is a humble life, be equal don’t be better than someone, don’t be worse than someone else, be equal. Enjoy your equality, enjoy your place in the world, enjoy being a cog in the wheel and put your ego and your will, your sense of power, your sense of fame and look at me, look at me on the shelf. Humble is everything it is pure happiness it is pure love it is how we are born and we will die.
