One of the hardest mindset shifts was to ignore my motherly instincts and let them use axes and dirt bikes and knives before I thought they were ready. Totally worth the struggle.

Big News! 🚨 Bobbie, owner of Parrs Jars is going to be a guest on the long-standing show #TheSurvivalPodcast on November 29 at 12pm CST about Using Local Food as a Tool to Empower Your Community.
Bobbie has been an avid listener since 2011 and is thrilled to get the opportunity to speak to the legendary modern survival teacher #JackSpirko.
Jack Spirko is the host of The Survival Podcast. The show has been running since 2008 and now has over 3,000 episodes available on all aspects of self-sufficiency, self-reliance, independence and personal liberty.
Spirko calls himself a Modern Survivalist and claims to have coined the phrase. His assertion is that all humans are at their core survivalists, as they all seek to survive.
Modern Survivalism differs from the conventional concept of survivalism in that it does not turn away from modern technology, rather it simply seeks to create redundancies for when technology fails.
Additionally modern survivalism is very broad including aspects of homesteading, investing, economics, debt elimination, individual sovereignty, permaculture along with traditional survivalist concepts like primitive skills and military tactics.
Spirko has been called the face of the modern survival movement by media personality Judge Andrew Napalatono and has been featured in a variety of media including Fox News, The Glenn Beck Show and The Houston Chronicle. https://image.nostr.build/141c5c34e000a09dc4b2f7922330ac7d2d70f0005963d1f288c61f7d95d752cb.jpg

Awesome you’re taking aim at canning! I’ve always thought when waterbathing you should submerge the entire jar in water with about an inch overtop. For pressure canning, you just need the bottom third filled with water.

I’ve been MIA from all things internet lately, I’ve barely even listened to podcasts for the first time in 10 years. I’ve been busy with two jobs, a homestead and a business.
We’ve gotten 20 chickens.
Gardens are in action.
Yard is finally coming together.
Rooms are getting organized post baby-toddler madness.
Production workshop we built has been rented by the co-op I helped found.
My hard work as a volunteer to found this food co-op has turned into a paid coordination contract. They offered me $15 EXTRA/hr, highest wage I’ve ever had, to work remotely most days.
I get to learn from an awesome partner organization.
I still run my business and am improving digital mechanisms and labelling my product line for store shelves.
I love my nights position working with people with disabilities in their homes. I help people and get a pay check to sleep.
My kids are happy and we have an ECE sitter who comes to the homestead 3days per week.
We’ve been camping a lot close to home to keep my hubby happy, he’s been helping with all this and was starting to get tired of no down time.
Its all coming together nicely but hasn’t been without effort every waking moment for 3 years.
Really looking forward to the times ahead. ❤️ https://cdn.nostr.build/i/0869b1fa7534d12b3cc172378fae780fa7ba56094ffd7195906a308a3cbc7502.jpg

Since 2020, I have been genuinely grateful to be part of an extraordinary circle of friends who share a common vision of life. Covid lunacy had disrupted the way we live and learn, but it brought us together through homeschooling. As society continues to evolve, we have managed to support and motivate one another to face these challenges courageously.
Just yesterday, I reconnected with an old acquaintance, someone I had been bumping into quite frequently lately. I noticed he was grappling with some significant issues in his life.
When he confided in me that he had decided to homeschool his children as part of the changes in his life, I knew exactly what to do. Recognizing the perfect opportunity to introduce him to my support network, I invited him to my husband's birthday campout the next day. There, he would have a chance to meet some of the homeschoolers who had become an integral part of our lives.
The timing couldn't have been more impeccable. The friend arrived, having built an impressive e-bike from an old trampoline, and with a fireworks business on the side – something that one of the kids in our homeschooling group absolutely adores.
During the campout, I expressed my gratitude for the bonds forged within our group during this extraordinary time. He confided that he had felt alone in his thoughts and struggles, and he seemed genuinely grateful to find kindred spirits who shared his experience.
Today was a genuinely good day. By extending our circle of friendship and support, I believe we have made a lasting impact on someone's life, and that's a feeling that's hard to beat.

I’ve repeatedly tried for a co-op to get a little time to do other things but people around here aren’t into it. There’s a great homeschooling group (and we are all great friends now) but only parent led activities happening.

Yes we definitely come from two very different vantage points. I was angry about the coercion. Take the shot, don’t take it, your choice.
I’m not sure those who didn’t go through what we did in 2021 can comprehend what a state of fear we were living in if we chose not to get the shot. We were terrorized and demonized throughout society.
It got to the point here in Canada where I was stuck in town after an accident, and I wasn’t allowed to sit anywhere in public with my children while others could. Not a restaurant. Not a recreational facility. Not the movies. We went to Walmart because that’s the only place that allowed us in.
Then they said Quebec was checking your passports at Canadian tire and Walmart too. And they were going to TAX us… Tax us. Not smokers or substance abusers. People who were lacking trust in the government narrative.
Then the convoy rolled through and all the insanity conveniently started to be rolled back. 🇨🇦

Definitely, the essential rule “don’t hurt people or take their belongings”. Theoretical enforcement of this is often discussed by Konkin. I also have a ton to learn, it’s an endless theoretical philosophy. Thanks for the share, l’ll check that one out. Malice has some good stuff. 👍

For people of colour, does it bother you the way government in Canada is setting up funding for businesses and non-profits?
Every funding application lately for our non-profit is denied unless we have someone indigenous on the board.
Now, I may be speaking from a place of ignorance, but it feels wrong to me and I’m sure being on the other side feels equally as gross.
We have to actively search for a “token” person to access any help for charitable causes. If there’s a native person who wants to help, all aboard!…but we have to actively seek someone out solely because of the color of their skin….feels wrong as hell.

Libertarians work within the current system and generally believe there would be thriving by limiting the state, getting their guy in power and setting guideposts.
The issue that most anarchists have with libertarianism (most come from that path initially) is that you can put up the fences for the state, but eventually there will be politicians removing the fence pole by pole when they need to squeeze through their agendas…and you end up back on the merry go round of limiting controls again.
Also, libertarianism will never capture our current system IMO. All that it’s good for is slow down the creeping of the state. But they will still creep.
Anarchy isn’t likely something I will see in my lifetime, the systems are so intertwined and people have outsourced their responsibility for far too long—people couldn’t bear it. They don’t know how to govern themselves. That disempowerment has been by design.
To me, it’s a multi generational plan to take power back for the people. The establishment works in long cycles to encapsulate humanity through centralization, the only sensible plan would require consistent and compounding moves to decentralize within every institutional framework.
For example, my children will know that while taxes are sometimes used towards good causes, taking ownership of those causes and enacting voluntarism would create efficiencies that the state couldn’t dream of. Anarchy is a way to 10x positive impact and change the world.
If I raise skilled boys in an empathetic home with voluntarism at the heart, they will do so much more than all of our tax dollars would have done combined. The state is inefficient at making meaningful change.
If this way of living leached more and more into mainstream, having people own their family affairs again through homeschooling and self-sufficiency practices, that would compound to heights never seen by humanity when we take tech advancements into account.
I’m not expecting to see an anarchist system, but I will live as close to anarchy as I can. Hopefully that will radiate into influence and create a lasting governance framework for my great grandchildren.

Since 2011, I have been enhancing my expertise in modern preparedness when a friend introduced me to TSP—an eye-opening experience that broadened my understanding of money during my mid-20s.
My journey began with food-grade buckets from the long-term care home where I worked, Mylar bags, a vacuum, and a hair straightener. Like many others, I began by storing beans and rice in the basement.
Over the course of 12 years, I transitioned from anxious to well-prepared. Our family of four now resides on a resilient hunter's homestead, embracing a lifestyle of modern preparedness.
We focused on the most crucial hierarchy of needs and progressively upgraded our home with:
- Three types of heating systems, including a fireplace
- A gravity-fed septic system
- A manual well pump for our spring-fed well
- Gardens and indoor growing systems
- Pantry rotation systems
But the real value lies in the skills we've acquired along the way. I'm eager to share this knowledge more efficiently.
I'm keen to know what #GrowNostr followers are willing to offer in exchange for detailed digital content, either in sats or fiat:
- Engaging e-book PDFs with eye-catching images and how-to guides (covering canning techniques, preservation methods, kratky hydroponics, seed-starting, chick hatching, homeschooling, trapping, hunting, fishing, etc.)
- Comprehensive online courses complete with videos and quizzes on topics similar to those listed above.
- Exclusive access to daily content creation through a membership and affiliate program (including podcasts, articles, and blog posts).
- PDF cookbooks featuring canning recipes.
- Organizational templates and handbooks for:
- Preps and pantry
- Business
- Homestead
- Homeschool
- Household
- Children's content: videos showcasing our family engaging in homestead education activities, with our sons teaching other kids the basics.
I’m shifting my business, Parrs Jars, from LOCAL to DIGITAL to compound impact—what kind of content are you looking for?

Anarchy Redefined 🔄
Anarchy isn't about the absence of rules; it's about having no rulers. Central to this idea is the non-aggression principle: "Do not harm others or take their possessions."
Governments inherently violate this principle.

Keep on it! I’m not great in those initial stages, my husband gets all the plants started and planted, then I take over in the garden. It’s a nice trade off.
Every year you’ll learn more and it takes very little to trial more plants in the winter and experiment with hydroponics to sharpen your starter skills.

Glad you asked! 😊 Anarchy isn’t “no rules” but “no rulers”. The non-aggression principle is paramount - “Don’t hurt others or take their stuff”.
Government does both of those things as a hard rule.
I would agree with Ammous in that government, no matter how small, will always grow and act out of self interest, as all people do.
I believe this human trait is amplified in the worst way through politics, mainly because it’s comprised of people who seek power over others in addition to being guided by self-interest. At this point it’s incredibly corrupted by central planners who have used and abused the system. It will always end up corrupted this way through cycles of revolution.
The best leaders are not drawn to politics and if they are, they are forced to give up good intentions to play the game. You will have heartfelt leaders step up at the end of a cycle, but if the game itself remains, humanity will remain in the same destructive loop.
“No Government” however, doesn’t mean no governance. I believe we would thrive in voluntary governance, whether that be location based or virtual nations (as described by @jackspirko). Having guideposts and community is essential—but we should be free to choose what structure we submit to.
With a belief in Anarchy, one must hold individual responsibility to the highest standard. If I believe that the potential of humans is being squashed by outsourcing our responsibility to the state, then I must take back control of my individual livelihood.
This is often seen through things like:
-entrepreneurship
-homeschooling
-homesteading
-voluntary leadership
-agorism & counter economics
With Bitcoin and blockchain, we could enact governance systems in the most simplistic way, providing true democracy through decentralization.
If you’re interested in learning more, you can check out books by Samuel Konkin lll like “An Agorist Primer” or “New Libertarian Manifesto”. You can also read the wealth of information provided by Murray Rothbard which provides an on ramp to these ideas.
I often refer to the lifestyle as “voluntarism” so it doesn’t scare off normies. That’s essentially what it is. ❤️

I had my freeze dried steak!
I’m going to do a full write up this week with recommendations and how it could be improved, but for now I’d say if you love a good steak and like to prepare for if freezers aren’t a reliable option—it’s worthwhile to put a few slabs away and rotate them on a cycle.

I’m getting some household tracking docs put together and I’ve shifted a lot off my business plate lately to be more in line with my strengths, so I’m hopeful it’ll be smooth sailing.
🤞
Keep working at it, it’s always a cycle with homesteads and kids but it’s honest work. 😎

Yeah it’s going to be an easy sell when the economic problems start getting shoved in their face and they are presented a “safe & simple” solution.

It is hard with kids. I have no excuses though I’m just addicted to sugar and always pressed for time…a terrible combo.
I’m trying to get more organized because that’s half the problem. I’m always scattered and put myself last on the priority list.

What’s your farmers market scene like?

Skills that:
A. Increase income (marketable skills) As above—tech and trades are bright.
B. Decrease expenses (self-sufficiency skills) Like growing your own food & fixing your own shit.

Equipment & systems to improve your self-sufficiency. (Ie. soil/hydroponics systems, seeds, chickens, guns/ammo, generator, water storage, gas storage, resilient home infrastructure like a well with manual pump, fireplace, gravity fed septic, etc)
And as mentioned above—build the skills associated with these projects.

If I was without dependents I’d definitely have a hard time staying off a plane. 😎

I looked into what it would take to move to El Salvador as well. If I was a tech person that would be a no brainer place to thrive!
I struggle with wanting to move because we live really free here in spite of government through self-sufficiency. I’ll never find another paradise like this.
Good call on the passport, I just got one for my kids but I should get mine updated soon too.

It’s been too much convenience and junk food in my life lately to cope with an overburdened schedule. I haven’t focused on my health since I was pregnant with my second son, who is almost four!
I’m sick of feeling like garbage everyday, so I’m going to post meals on Nostr to help keep myself accountable and show off the awesome food I can get my hands on through the development of our local food co-op and home growing.
Forest raised pork sausage, smoked pork chop, free run eggs and rainbow radish microgreens topped with my “Cheezy Greens” smoked salt/greens/nutritional yeast blend.

I’m anticipating exorbitant inflationary pressure and increasing job loss in this transitioning economy (in Canada and the states at least)
I believe the establishment will use this to their advantage to usher in UBI (in Canada for sure) backed/controlled through CBDC’s.
The more people are prepared, the less likely they are to be trapped by the technocracy. There will be growing counter economics through alternative exchange mechanisms I’m sure.
This is my speculation of course but based on watching the social conditioning over the past decade and the insane debt we are incurring; it seems we are headed this way in Canada.

2023-05-07 15:41:58 GMT

How prepared is everyone feeling for this type of a collapse? I’m assuming #grownostr folks are way ahead of the curve.
What do you need to ramp up for preparedness?

How was it rehydrated? In water?

Nah its posts driving the divisive topics—gun free zones, that guy that got choked out on the subway, fights that caused death, blackvswhite kids fighting, that type of stuff. Always stuff sowing political division and arguments. Lowers the frequency of my day.

Has anyone rehydrated freeze-dried steak? I dried them earlier this year and need to test them out. We are going to do an experiment today in a brine—any tips? (Repost-Forgot the hashtags)

I just joined last year and loved it at first in comparison to FB but lately it’s hate, violence, graphic pictures of people who’ve gotten shot…I’ve been trying to adjust my feed and mute people but similar accounts just keep popping up. 😩
#grow nostr is great, inspiring people doing cool things! 👌

10 out of how many? This was my first time and I got 9 out of 12. One was a toss away at day 7 and the others were too dark to candle. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_2697954b88887bd3bf7584d1ca8c8be6fa111d7fc0c2309c064e684a523539a6.jpg

As I sit at work, I watch the king's coronation, unable to choose the channel.
My thoughts drift to the economy.
With a possible economic collapse looming, I wonder about the ceremony's cost.
"Let them eat cake," I muse...
...and conceal ze bugs within ze flour.

Yeah it was definitely a different experience when I added herbs, heat and microgreens. Just keep 50% minimum as cabbage and salt it to let out the juices, then mix in flavours and add more salt as needed.
I like that you can taste as you go and if I like it raw, I usually like it 3x more fermented because it all blends together beautifully.
So I’d say use the flavours you enjoy (dill and garlic sounds tasty).

I’ve experimented this year with ferments and I really liked 60% cabbage with carrots, cutting celery, pea shoots and hot peppers. Salt to taste, a month fermenting and it was perfect. One with beets was also good.

Apparently it froze and posted thrice. My apologies for dominating the feed.
