For you guys with shorter growing seasons or growing in greenhouses I can most highly recommend this tomato. Excellent in every way. This is the only source for them that I am aware of. OP so despite the cost of the seeds from this company the pollination rate is always good and the main idea is to grow a variety and then begin saving your own seeds. For those of you that see that besides energy, food is a large part of the plan to subjugate the population of the world. I don’t know how successful this plan will be but seed saving is already an issue in some parts of the world and under discussion in others. Most corn seed used today is patented GMO and even if you grow it the companies that produce it retain all rights to it. Gene patents don’t just apply to crops. I don’t care if this sounds conspiracy wacko. If you are smart you will be buying and storing OP seeds while you still can. I vacuum seal the packages and keep them in the freezer. Self sufficiency begins with water, then stomach, then personal energy supplies.
Great info TomH.
I much agree with your, “Self-sufficiency begins with water, then stomach, then personal energy supplies.”
Right up there is also shelter.
And for me personal shelter starts with a best for the season hat.
Then again for me it skips down to best for conditions footwear. A fellow can be somewhat flexible on all of the in-between personal wearing shelter stuff.
The better job you do here the less you’ll have to stress on the surround sheltering.
Think. Eskimo/Inuit wearing means a snow block shelter will be good enough.
All arms and legs covered wearing; head and feet coverings: and then a limb, leaf, and moss lean-to will do.
I just ain’t lived the natural environment that cargo shorts and sandals actually work well.
Make what you do wear your first sheltering layer. Then you will have to build less hard cover.
Just what I do.

Tom you forgot to mention a lot of the GMOs don’t grow true to seed after one or two generations of replanting. Very nasty what they’ve done to plants.
Don’t confuse GMO, and hybrid seeds, big difference. Gmo’s are genetic modified to resist glysophate (round-up) this the worst thing they have done to agriculture. The feed with this(mostly corn soy) is causing breeding problems.
I had to strong arm my mom to get rid of all the Roundup we had. Double bagged it and put it in the trash can. She didn’t care how bad it is for the groundwater.
do the copperheads attact the heart and nervis system too or just local rot around the bite, or what is the treatment for copper head bite. THANKS.
Copperhead venom attacks the blood, it’s a Hemotoxin. If you don’t get treated you’ll look like an 1800s Gangrene victim. Not sure what it does to the heart but they say it isn’t lethal just really painful. Younger Copperheads will dump all their venom into a single bite, older ones meter it out less.
Edit: Google mislead the treatment for a Copperhead bite, I re-read the article and that stuff is explicitly what NOT to do. I’ve heard successful treatment from those snake venom suckers however, but don’t drink alcohol or take anything that promotes bloodflow or the venom can go further into your body.
Nice work getting that gardon looking good, I bought some dark dirt ,a yard too put on top my sandy soil, so far i got a hand full of egg size tomatos, i allso planted about 24 cucumber plants,no cucs started yet.I like too keep expanding my gardon next few years, and add some natural firizers too.
Thanks Cody- if i ever get out around them snakes areas, i like tom holton idea, raw hide under garments and leather boots with extra long nee pads.
They bite if they feel cornered, I’d label them as more aggressive than a rattler. I once had to pole vault over a copperhead because I was on a rocky outcrop on my back property and no way to go around it. A Mosin Nagant 91/30 makes a good pole for that!
I wear calf height leather boots in the woods and blouse my pants into my boots. Blousing is more for the Chiggers and Ticks than anything else.
Only venomous snake I’ve never had issues with is cotton mouths. They’re scaredy cats and just show their mouth to spook you.
Dana was out in the back yard taking our new chickens out of the yard cage and putting them back into the brooder for the night. She heard a robin in the tree and looked. This is why the robin was making a fuss. A big Red Tail Hauk watching what Dana was doing. I took a picture a few minutes later. Our wild Turkey that hung around for a few years like to sit on that limb then fly down to the deck where took the picture from. She would come up to the back door looking for a little food. She still around but found a better roosting spot.

A Pastor entered his donkey in a race and it won. The Pastor was so pleased with the donkey that he entered it in the race again and it won again. The local paper read: PASTOR’S ASS OUT FRONT.
The Bishop was so upset with this kind of publicity that he ordered the Pastor not to enter the donkey in another race. The next day the local paper headline read: BISHOP SCRATCHES PASTOR’S ASS.
This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the Pastor to get rid of the donkey. The Pastor decided to give it to a Nun in a nearby convent. The local paper, hearing of the news, posted the following headline the next day: NUN HAS BEST ASS IN TOWN.
The Bishop fainted. He informed the Nun that she would have to get rid of the donkey so she sold it to a farm for $10. The next day the paper read: NUN SELLS ASS FOR $10
This was too much for the Bishop so he ordered the Nun to buy back the donkey and lead it to the countryside where it could run wild. The next day the headlines read: NUN ANNOUNCES HER ASS IS WILD AND FREE.
The Bishop was buried the next day. The moral of the story is . . .
Don’t always trust what you read in the media and stop worrying about everyone else’s ass and just cover your own!!!
Tom, good story,… 
Good one, Tom. Remarkable how such a small word brought so much amusement to so many, throughout history and world wide 
I hate when a website goes down for good. I’m glad someone saved this web page on the Monorator Hopper on the Internet Archive.
It’s always a good idea to send an archive to the Way back Machine, they’ll save it even if the original site goes down forever.
That is what our library is all about. Saving gasification knowlege for us all.
Bob
This one wasn’t saved in the library. But at least it’s on the Way Back Machine now.
Yes. A very information dense article indeed CodyT.
I first read it 15 years ago and learned.
I’ve since re-read it 2-3 time and every time learned something new explaining current results fellows were getting. Or a rabbit hole they have jumped down into.
You putting up the link and I just re-read it and have clarified/confirmed something’s I recently have written about. Ha! Ha! Woodgas-gasification hard to have an original idea!
The thermal isolation of the collected hopper condensate from the air nozzle rising heat plume. Illustrations 6&9.
The differences in results from stationary to mobile:
Traveling air cooling flows. WK’s results.
Mobile within the wheelbase fuel shaking just enough with corners turning able to fuel and beds settle just enough.
Ben Petersons Book system’s gas heat adding pyrolysis accelerator section IS Professors Blomquist’s idea brought to life in metals.
This article is like eating a very rich dessert like a good pecan pie or the Mediterranean area honey layered cake. Small bites, and slowly savor to not miss, or overlook a goodness treat.

Just do this @Chris he can put this valuable piece of gasifier knowledge into the our library for us all for future reading. At post 1013 Thank you Chris.
Its not necessarily the steel mills for example Kroots in Columbus has exclusive contracts with Cummins and they dont want anyone walking away with some secret scrapped project
