Seriously ready to leave at any moment and don't care if it's cold anymore lol. I have backpacked and been to the caribbean before as well. Looking to get there on land, and open to sharing a ride as well on this journey.</p><p>Been vegan for awhile now, don't even keep track of 'time' honestly as it's a soul trap. Have been raw before as well and can go long periods again just being raw, but i feel that eating nuts, seeds, and some cooked plant based food gives me more weight and mass and energy which is better, being an athlete and gardener as well. Don't smoke or do drugs, i do make natural fermented drinks from chaga, dates, and other fruit and herbs. The gol is to be totally off grid, outhouse, spring water, and have a natural adobe house, or cob, wood etc. Grow own food truly natural, vegan and permaculture based, and support local trade as well. Not be dependant on mind control govts or religions and their toxic corporations and other agents.</p><p> </p><p>nΩnΩmz</p><p> </p></div>Hi ya'll!

In a Garden of Eden, so to speak.</p><p></p><p>So since my paid work will be ending this month and I do have some savings, I was thinking about hitting the road again and visiting people who are living this way.

Lets all put our heads together to think of ideas and initiate some action!</p><p>I'm lucky that around my city there are quite a lot of wild mango trees that I can forage from in season, but I think if I started going around planting more and different varieties of trees here and there they would just be ripped out by council workers... So I thought maybe it would be a possibility, for example, to approach local/national environmental conservation groups (eg. Landcare Australia). If we could convince some big organisations to plant fruit bearing natives in some places that would be a start. Has anyone tried this before? Or planted trees around their community?</p><p>To inspire the community to plant trees in their own back yards is another big one. There should be community 'city farms' in every city where people can go to learn about permaculture and how they can grow their own food. Does anyone have a program like this in their city? </p><p>What are your ideas? How can we can spread our fruity love all over the world? </p></div>I got my land in tropical Naples, south Florida!!!https://www.thefrugivorediet.com/forum/topics/i-got-my-land-in-tropical-naples-south-florida2012-07-22T13:59:17.000Z2012-07-22T13:59:17.000ZRawberthttps://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/Rawbert<div><p>Hey guys!</p><p></p><p>Just wanted to let yall know that I finally got my 5 acres in FL!!! :)))</p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8191676285,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8191676285,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="576" alt="8191676285?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>For details check out my blog at <a href="http://www.fruitsteading.com" target="_blank">fruitsteading.com</a>, subscribe to get updates!</p><p>Subscribe to my youtube channel to get the vlog updates:</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/manet2000ro" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/manet2000ro</a></p><p></p><p>I'm very excited to start fruitsteading and hopefully many of you will follow!</p><p><a href="{{#staticFileLink}}8191676456,original{{/staticFileLink}}"><img class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}8191676456,original{{/staticFileLink}}" width="687" alt="8191676456?profile=original" /></a></p><p></p><p>Lots of cool stuff will happen once I'm down there in the fall.. woofing, singles retreat for fruity vegans, etc.. stay tuned!!! :)</p></div>cool raw food forest videohttps://www.thefrugivorediet.com/forum/topics/cool-raw-food-forest-video2012-03-07T07:54:10.000Z2012-03-07T07:54:10.000ZRawphaelhttps://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/Rawphael<div><p>This seems to be a new video about a raw food forest in Australia :</p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-YZmV43g3k&feature=colike">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-YZmV43g3k&feature=colike</a> </p><p>Starting my real estate fund now :)</p></div>HCRVillage - For a fresher fruiturehttps://www.thefrugivorediet.com/forum/topics/hcrvillage-for-a-fresher-fruiture2012-01-31T16:02:23.000Z2012-01-31T16:02:23.000ZRaini Pachakhttps://www.thefrugivorediet.com/members/RainiPachak<div><p>This group is for anyone who likes the idea of coming together and concentrating knowledge and resources to buy land to create a ecological community somewhere in the tropics.

Instead, it becomes logical, even the perfect tool of power-seeking megalomaniacs. Communism, or more accurately socialism, is not a movement of the down-trodden masses, but of the economic elite." -Gary Allen, author, cited in Money Masters</p><p> </p><p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXt1cayx0hs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXt1cayx0hs</a></p><p>Be sure to watch the whole documentary first if you'd like to understand why these systems inevitably lead to elitism and corruption. Here's another quote, this time from The Naked Capitalist:</p><p>"Power from any source tends to create an appetite for additional power...It was almost inevitable that the super-rich would one day aspire to control not only their own wealth, but the wealth of the entire world.</p><p> </p><p>To achieve this, they were perfectly willing to feed the ambitions of the power-hungry political conspirators who were committed to the overthrow of all existing governments and the establishments of a central worldwide dictatorship." -W. Cleon Skousen, cited from Money Masters</p><p> </p><p>My thoughts and possible solutions:</p><p>As our current global monetary system collapses and oil becomes too expensive to mine, I think we must work on creating sustainable, local decentralized communities as advocated in <a href="http://www.transitionnetwork.org">www.transitionnetwork.org</a></p><p><strong>Edited: This is an important issue for all of us wanting to maintain a fruitarian diet. If we're not in the proper climate, I think it will be very difficult to maintain the diet as food prices rise with oil prices.

It has to do with a farm in Austria that is 100% sustainable. It is a farm of permaculture. There is no mono-cropping, no anything.This farm is pretty much set up to forage. It has minimal negative impact on the environment, but such a large positive impact!It is time we utilize the space we have. If we all work together, we can build mother nature strong enough to rebuild Herself!<b>"New ways to farm part 1/4</b><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/LN9VSgvp2EI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" ></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" ></param><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LN9VSgvp2EI&hl=en&fs=1" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" ></param><embed wmode="opaque" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LN9VSgvp2EI&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="never" width="425" height="344" allownetworking="internal"></embed></object><b>"New ways to farm part 2/4"</b><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/2sOAlPifnkQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" ></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" ></param><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/2sOAlPifnkQ&hl=en&fs=1" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" ></param><embed wmode="opaque" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/2sOAlPifnkQ&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="never" width="425" height="344" allownetworking="internal"></embed></object><b>"New ways to farm part 3/4"</b><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/QwBT_NqX9X8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" ></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" ></param><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QwBT_NqX9X8&hl=en&fs=1" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" ></param><embed wmode="opaque" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QwBT_NqX9X8&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="never" width="425" height="344" allownetworking="internal"></embed></object><b>"New ways to farm part 4/4"</b><object width="425" height="344" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/XMedc62D3So&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" ></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" ></param><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XMedc62D3So&hl=en&fs=1" ></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="false" ></param><embed wmode="opaque" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XMedc62D3So&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="never" width="425" height="344" allownetworking="internal"></embed></object></div>
