Pookie Aftermath: Cryptogon and Farmlet Reader Contributions Continue

January 17th, 2007

Incredible! Thanks guys! It’s all going into a barn to milk our girls and raise their calves.

Via: The Pookie Challenge Post:

BS sent $25 via Farmlet and wrote: “It’s true you’re a strong worker and due for a raise – unfortunately there’s been an across the board spending freeze until the end of the quarter – nothing’s going through – my hands are tied. But I don’t want you to go away empty handed – so I’m going to give you a couple bucks out of my own pocket. This should keep you going until I can go to bat for you with the boys down at corporate – and I will go to bat for you – you’re my guy. Good? Are we good? Good.”

AZ sent $20 and wrote: “Cryptogon is one of three sites I visit near daily. I and my wife, like you and yours are struggling on our own plot of land here in Canada, we’re heating entirely with woodstoves and I’ll be building my own wind turbine in the summer, not to mention preparing the biodynamic garden. Anyways, here’s a small token for your work. Cheers, AZ”

AH sent $25.

JG sent $10.

Ktulu sent $20 and wrote: “Hello from France. Keep up the good work.”

MW sent $20.

VH sent $25.

    Every time I shop with Amazon, I’ll go through your site. I liked the review you gave of the head lamp; though I’m much too poor to ever own land for a homestead, I still stock up on things in case of emergency, so any advice in that area is appreciated. 🙂

    For those wishing to protect their anonymity go to Farmlet. You can contribute using a prepaid credit card without using Paypal at all. Paranoia is often wisdom. I don’t think the following, but how do we really know this isn’t a government site trolling for the unfooled? I would bet $100s that isn’t so, but I wouldn’t bet $1,000s.

    Boblo,

    You clearly don’t understand how online anonymity works. The payment options on both sites lead to the same paypal account. And both sites are run on the same server. Wake the F up!

    Besides, NO online transactions are anonymous. To be totally anonymous online requires methods that are too cumbersome for most people to implement.

    Take the tinfoil hat off long enough to learn a bit about communications security before making weird allegations.

    Or, maybe you’re the intelligence agency asset, telling people to do things that will make them feel secure, when really what you’re telling them to do provides them with no added security at all.

    I need to go spy on my goats now.

    Have a nice day.

    Hi girlwolf,

    Thanks for helping out. Every bit helps.

    Here’s a good intro to prepping for an emergency:

    I also like this book:

    SAS Survival Handbook: How to Survive in the Wild, in Any Climate, on Land or at Sea by John ‘Lofty’ Wiseman
