One form of CHEAP Housing 12-29-09

I heard a lady by the name of Niki Raapana talking about her Gertee the other day.  I checked it out and was very impressed, I’m a simple person.  It is a form of a Mongolian Yurt and the American TeePee.  What really struck me was it can be built of Found objects and it is considered a tent.

Upon checking on it I found some very elaborate ones that were finished out very nice.  You can put two or more together to make separate areas, and even make a loft if the height is tall.  You are only limited by your own imagination.

You can see Niki’s at www.campredington.com/gertee2.html  also she has an Instructable at www.instructables.com/id/Building_a_new_20_foot_gertee/.  You may want to also check out, Build yourself a portable and Yurt without steel.  They are on the right-hand side of the page under Featured.

The uses for these are endless but what I liked about them is how they could be used in the future. You could even make one now and it would be ready when needed.   What ideas do you have to share?

Let’s Get Started

Since I am new to this it may take me time to get up to speed.  I would like for “When the Lights Go Out” to be a gathering place for like-minded people.  You can read that as Christian Patriots because they will find the info helpful.  Patriots will also agree with what is being said and the information that is posted.  Open minded people will appreciate the post even if they don’t agree as their mind will be stretched.  There will also be people who think the articles and post here are my crazy mind working overtime.

I hope this will be a place where people can meet and alliances made for the time when the lights do go out.  I’m not saying it will be tomorrow or in 20 years.  I actually think it will be a lot sooner than 20 years but who am I?  We want to be prepared whenever it is.

You will find articles on survival, world news, national news, privacy, and things of interest.  I hope that everyone that stops by will leave a comment.  If you have an article that you feel is of interest post it please.  If you have a desire to find others in your area post that.  But please always keep in mind privacy!

One last thing for tonight.  If you haven’t seen “Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura”  it is on TruTV on Wednesday night.  This week is about Big Brother watching you.  Dr. Katherine Albrecht will be on the show.   The shows he did on HAARP and Global Warming were very good and worth a watch.
