Why aren't you growing your own food?
Why aren't you making your own energy?
Why aren't you trying to get independent from the government and the rest of society?
Are you getting ready for war?

> does not generate the 5 kg of bugmeat per day needed to survive

Into the trash it goes.

>Implying you can use only one at once

bump

If you want to raise mealworms on a larger scale just take them to the shack where the smell is not important and keep them in long flat trays.

You're right. I would only eat this shit if my country was at war. And I needed to be starving. Fuck, no.

You know shit about exquisite asian cuisine.

>Why aren't you growing your own food?
I am. Seedlings will be ready to be transplanted to the garden in about 2 weeks when the snow finishes melting.

>Why aren't you making your own energy?
I do. I generate power with solar panels. 4620 watts of panels, 3600Ah of battery storage at 48V.
I have an icehouse. I cut and store ice during the winter to chill food the rest of the year.
I have wood burning stoves in my home and workshop, with over 12 cords of wood put up.

WTF are YOU doing, other than dreaming of eating bugs?

I chose bugs because you can keep them in the city. As for the energy I'm saving money to build a proper bike generator.

looks really appetizing

They also make warrior flies farms.
Warrior flies are supposed to contai more protein.

I grew like 100 pounds of melon last year, doing it again this year.

>a proper bike generator

What are you planning to power with that piddling little battery? a lightbulb, maybe a cel phone? You gonna pedal that thing 12 hours a day?

Get a watt meter and start figuring out how much power you really use.
Then, reduce that as much as you possibly can.
THEN, figure out how much power generation and storage you really need. It's gonna be a lot more than you think.

>Get a watt meter and start figuring out how much power you really use.
- 1 W LED light bulb
- 3.5 W Raspberry PI
- 17 W Monitor
- dumbphone which stays up for 1 month on a single charge

I know enough to know I don't want it.

I thought the op was just talking about growing mealworms for a fish farm.
why would you actually eat fish food. I dont go to petco and eat fish food...

Cheapest and best source of protein which you can keep in the city.

oh im sorry, am i a farmer? no i pay people to get covered in shit and grow cattle and i eat red meat because i want blood and meat, not juice and skin
seriously you would need a mental illness or starving to make bugs part of your normal diet, do you live out in the middle of the african desert? no, so you dont have to live in squalor eating bugs

You could feed pigs and chickens these insect feeds and have really healthy livestock to eat.

You'll need approximately 344W per day to keep that setup on for 16 hours.

If you get a good 12V AGM battery instead of that duracell pos, it should last about 4 years.
Keep in mind that you never want to drain it below 50% charge, or you'll reduce it's lifespan.

Most monitors aren't 12V, so you'll need an inverter to power it. Expect 20% or so energy loss from the conversion. Also, calculate for line loss.

A 100Ah battery might be enough, but I'd suggest going with 2 of them to be safe.

Plus, you're not planning on keeping perishable food cool, or cooking anything with electricity, or heating, or cooling, or hot water?
No flashlight, or router, or even a radio?

yea that's what i thought, just feed the mealworms to fish, but in the video op links he wants to actually eat them himself
im not eating pig and chicken food, im eating pigs and chickens

Have you ever thought that your upbringing makes you dense? They simply taste good. Ask any Asian.

how does this compare to whey or soy protiens

>5 kg of bugmeat per day

baka

Also bumping this. It's 80$ for any good containers of protein powder.

I'll gladly eat insects for my protein intake.

this thread is comfy btw, keep the bugs coming

I would rather feed my chickens with the insects and eat eggs instead.

Fucking hell. I can get a 10'' monitor that would draw less power.

As for the food I buy it every day fresh and bake it in the gas oven. No electricity required.

i know asians and they dont eat bugs they eat disgusting shit like chicken feet/hearts or pig intestine, but at least they eat MEAT
fuck your couch and your bugs
disgusting

...

They have Omega-3 acids and don't cause man boobs.

Required.

>gas oven. No electricity required
Putin thanks you.

another

why are you not ranching?

We started buying some gas from USA. No joke. They brought the gas to Poland on a ship to Świnoujście.

I REALLY need to take Electrical Engineering courses.

What's your opinion on making electricity by burning wood found in parks?

first off, fuck off kike shill degnerate

second- not using bugs to catch fish or raise chickens

fing retard

How the fuck do you want to catch fish or raise chickens in the middle of a concrete city jungle?

I don't know what the solution is for true energy Independence is.
Gas is just too convenient for heating.
Solar panels on homes are great and provide plenty of electricity for most of the day, but when you really need heating on a cold winter night you would be dependant on a large well charged battery.

>living in the city in those events

down syndrome

not even moving out to sell to farmers

not rooftop farming, not WALKING UNLIKE A LAZY FUCK TO THE OUTSKIRTS AND FARM

jesus, Poland is all farmland

subway sandwiche

a) there is no sun in Poland
b) we have so much coal we are basically set for the next 150 years unles environmentalist mafia stops us.

why would you need an event to farm your own food though

Couldn't you hook that shit up to a piston and a boiler to pump the bike? It's like technology has gotten so advanced that we've forgotten basics.

Dude your room must smell like ass. So I guess since it's Poland everyone is use to it.

But seriously you are a pioneer in that regard, a concrete jungle farmer. I was going to find a system of using ultra sonics to dry clothes faster and more energy efficient(I have no where to hang them other than on top of my air circulation vent and sometimes they get this moldy smell if they take too long to dry)

I have that book too. John Seymour - The Self Sufficient life.

For those who are truly serious about getting the fuck off grid.

>grew up in austria
why am i not surprised

Tardski here is raising bugs in his apartment to eat them so he will survive...

What smell? Use a fucking sieve to clean their poop once in a while and they won't smell.
By the way, their sandy shit is the best fertilizer for plants. Keep your plants on your balcony.

>not growing your own doge food

You literally have to have no job to take care of that properly. The problem being the fact that people won't leave you the fuck alone and will force you to have some kind of economic activity for your right to even stay on your piece of earth.

you literally could just get a bird cage and shove a chicken in it

No you know Americans. Chinese eat cockroaches ffs

no.. they dont

>a) there is no sun in Poland
Enough solar panels to cover you roof will still produce plenty even when it's cloudy.
>environmentalist mafia
You prefer paying a monthly bill to the energy mafia I suppose.

holy shit if you're talking about the book that was posted earlier, america has 'cooking with cum'
most americans dont eat semen, nor do asians eat cockroaches

No. A chicken is loud. My neighbors would get pissed off and send green patrol to get me.

but what does the Buges eat OP

>Enough solar panels to cover you roof will still produce plenty even when it's cloudy.

The Housing Association won't allow anyone to put solar panels on top of their block of flats. You own the flat but the building infrastructure is owned by the Cooperative. Such is life in Poland.

>gas oven

I thought this thread was about producing your own energy

>What's your opinion on making electricity by burning wood found in parks?

That overpriced thing in your picture produces 3 watts.
THREE watts.
You're gonna need about 5 of them burning 24 hours a day to power your setup.

Oops. It stores that power in a measly 2600mAh battery and only outputs at 5v, so you're gonna need a buck amplifier to up their output to 12V to charge your real battery--that means another 20% power loss to conversion, so add a sixth stove burning 24/7 to make up for that loss.

well when your neighbors get pissed off you eat the chicken
or dont and just piss off your neighbors who cares

Wang breeds American cockroaches (actually, they're originally from Africa) and he sells them to pharmaceutical companies in China by the ton.

They are usually ground and stuffed into pills and advertised as a cure for all manner of stomach, heart, and liver ailments.

In recent years, they have become a staple in Chinese medicine shops here, promising wondrous results. Cockroach medicine is having something of a boom.

Crunchy, with an aftertaste

But Wang prefers them fresh and wants me to try one, so he drags a gas stove into his office and throws a steel bowl full of roaches into peanut oil.

He promptly scoops them out. "Is that it?" I ask.

"No, twice fried," he says, throwing them back into the oil.

After which, Wang promptly starts tucking in. He really seems to enjoy it. "I felt so much better after I started eating cockroaches," he says.

>master race confirmed

Yes they fucking do you autist. I lived and worked in south China for 3 years. Guangdongren eat roaches and snails with their beer you sanctimonious cunt.

Yes they fucking do.

tfw considering eating cricket powder protein shakes now instead of whey powder
It cant taste that bad, right?

>I thought this thread was about producing your own energy
The cost of gas is in the rent.

I'v ebeen eating pea protien for a while, it taste like nutsack

nowfoods.com/sports-nutrition/pea-protein-powder

>I REALLY need to take Electrical Engineering courses.

Yeah. Because the interwebz is only for shitposting and porn.
Don't be a moron. You already have the largest depository of information humanity has ever known at your fingertips. You're already connected to it.

So, use it.

poorfags like yourself should go get a job on a farm

but no, you are lazy and live in the city

survivalists are the biggest fucking autists and have zero idea how things will actually work

beleive it or not, life goes on after happenings,

the media makes you think the entire world is coming to an end

you think people are just going to drop everything a go into a fetal position or lock them selves in and jack off for the rest of days and not be productive or social because ITS DA END OF DUH WORLDZ

you must have though the entire cities of fergasun and baltimore were on fire.....

problems arise when militas take over roads and stop food deliveries, like farmers and truckers packing heat are going to put up with that

or the store owners

notice i didnt even imply the government stepping in

fuck fear mongerers

>The cost of gas is in the rent.

This pollack's invented a perpetual motion machine.

I'm not asian so don't want to eat off insects

>chinese medicine
>asians eat bugs confirmed
yea and I like to pop a couple (or 12) advil with every meal
not the same as actively eating it as a staple of your diet

The internet is sufficient. You do have to do a lot of research, but once you've set your goals and you know what you're going to focus on, it's fairly easy unless you're retarded.

don't worry mcdonalds will find a way to sneak it into the chicken

It's illegal you moron.

Crickets change their taste based on what you feed them with.

not illegal in america
guess youre just butthurt because you dont have the same freedoms we have
enjoy your bugs
im gonna go to 5 guys and get a bigass burger and fries

>making your own energy
that is not how it works

>sells them to pharmaceutical companies in China by the ton.
>by the ton
>by ton
>ton

Does it really matter how they are consumed if there is a legitimate retail market for cockroaches by the ton?

what do you feed em? will they eat my cum?

Ive eaten dry crickets. They dont taste bad at all. The flavor is kinda like a stale sunflower seed shell. In powder form I'm sure it wont be offensive.

>This pollack's invented a perpetual motion machine.

Two Poles are building a house. One of them is putting on the siding. He picks up a nail, hammers it in. Picks up another nail, throws it away. Picks up a nail, hammers it in. Picks up another, throws it away. This goes on for a while, and finally his friend comes over and asks him why he is throwing half of the nails away. He replies, "Those ones were pointed on the wrong end." His friend gets exasperated and says "You idiot, those are for the other side of the house!"

yup from chunky tasting shit to runny tasting shit

Buddy you really don't want a human-powered generator, you really just cannot produce the output that even a bag of coal would.

What's best for them to eat? Can you give them anything?

Moeny laundering for drugs

because the drug dealers of the planet are the ones responsible for Shit hitting the fan to begin with

startign wars

and what you dumb fucks will be up against

they are going to be affected

>BUT MU ILLIMUNATI NWORDERS

I'm growing my own weed though

We use to feed mealworms wet paper towels and oats

>Eating bugs

Gee i wonder who's behind this.

Carrots are always a good idea. They tend to dry up instead of getting moldy. That's why people in every laboratory use carrots.

What does it taste when you give them that?

fucking use them to catch fish

or raise a fish farm

sell them in a bait and tackle shop

china is about 5 times the US
we have plenty of idiots who will consume whatever for medicinal purposes
i.e. 'colon cleansing'
now compare the number of idiots colon cleansers consume, to the number of idiots who eat cockroaches for medicinal purposes
you get the idea
now if i could go to a normal restaurant and order cockroaches, you'd be right; but nobody eats that shit, just a small number of idiots

we didn't eat the meal worms they were pets for homeschool.

fun fact

Just get some free Styrofoam from your local shop.

loooool

that's a great joke
