the Trash vitae

Trash is the editor-in-chief of an independent Colorado micro-publisher/ design studio. I dabble in digital photography, the lost art of film image making, and guerilla digital video. DrMAC Studios specializes in books and videos on self-reliance, gardening, dumpster diving, urban foraging and living off the excesses of others.

summer winding down



the economy is in the tank. Politicians are scurrying for more band-aids. The cost of everything is sky-rocketing. What are we to do? Sit back and watch the shit unfold. And keep prepping. For only in calmness and peacefulness will you survive.
Stock up on food and meat
GAther barter items and ammo
Clean the weapons
Plan your escape or hanker down plans.
But keep a calm head on your shoulders. Let them be the ones to make mistakes that you can profit from.

garden pics






friday rant



I really wish i could express everything that has gone on in the last month but its all bullshit. First the neighborhood gestapo and then the guvt gestapo are attacking old Trash at the stead. to all of them i say a rousin FU.. my alma mater.
Anyhow the zuchs are producing nicely as is the lettuces. The cukes and beans died off thanx to the gestapo. And its too late to replant them. I have to start thinking about fall planting for some excess.
I hope to post some pics up here this weekend and yes y'all maybe even a video. We shall see. Ya see the the outside office/studio is a mess from the guvt run-amok bs. BUt alas my front porch studio has not been taken down. SO we shall see.

Sorry about thelax of posts

However we have had some unexpected stuff go on around the homestead. We are coming thru it and the posting should start up again with regularity. I wish it were all good news but not all. Anyhow the garden took a tole with the heat and the other things yet I am able to salvage and still harvest some produce. PIcs will come later. As for videos I do not know when I will be able to get some up. As I said times have been rough around here .

divided we fall--

I am hearing more and morer about people running into problems wwith society against you growing some of your own food. Why is that.. Are more people catching on to what Monsanto and the guvt are doing with GMO and round up and etc. Or is it more.
Are the sheeple to lazy to take care of themselves and assert their independence.. I am presuming so.. Fuck society. What I do on my property is my biz. HOAs and city codes should not apply when it comes to what you do on your own property. 93 days in jail is nothing to stand for what you believe in .If people become intimidated with jail and societal bullshit than they are weak in their values.
Stand up to the bullshit at all costs. Dont give up or give in. For then you give up your freedom.
Stand together

celebration of Independence

As we get closer to the annual celebration of Independence we should question as to whether we are truly independent. Unfortunately for most we arent. We are dependent on someone or some entity for our daily survival. The trick is to use that dependence to become more independent. Grow your own is a good step but live on your own terms is the other. That for the most part cannot be taken from you. Be true to yourself and dont stray. Keep on the right path and eventually you will gasin more and more independence.
Happy Independence day.
