Their campervan runs on vege oil.
If you're in the Eastern Standard Time zone of Aus perhaps you should catch it... they run the car on vege oil (they have no idea what's involved in refining vege oils, do they?), and forage for food.
Food miles...
Bartering mushrooms for other basics like eggs and onions.
The steak mushrooms have been grown more efficiently by mother nature.
Groan.
Do these clueless wankers realise that to produce enough natural food for the population you'd have to mass produce it, and you wouldn't be able to rely on nature to do it alone.
And they have a dog. I wonder what they feed him?
Now they're shooting pigeons. Now they're going to shoot some rabbit for fresh fruit. Silly woman said she'd shoot 12.
More crap about how humane it is to kill rabbits rather than farm animals, crate them and take them to the abattoir for killing.... urgh!
Lookout, she's got the keys to the landowners herb garden... a secret garden...
I'm glad they have all day to forage for food and then prepare it.
Looks like some more good shotty action next week...

'Bartering mushrooms ...'
Magic mushrooms are baaad, m'kay?
He he he
No, not goldtops. They were called "steak fungus" which grows on oak trees at certain times of the year.
I can see that as a sustainable food providing industry... sure.
And they have a dog. I wonder what they feed him?
Well, being a wild gourmet dog, it probably forages in backyards and playgrounds for cats and the odd unsupervised child in neighbourhoods they pass through.
Dang, Splice, why didn't I think of that.
Here's me thinking he eats lentils (ok, they do eat meat).
They've been eating pigeons and rabbits, and not much meat on them so perhaps poochie (a black lab), has to fend for himself!

I don’t think they’re feeding the dog lentils, Kaez, that’s not the nomadic thing to do.
I mean, if you want to be pure about your alternative lifestyle then you have to plow, plant, tend and harvest lentils… these guys are nutty wanderers.
If they’re on the road to stay, then like all neogypsies it won’t be long before they realise that they need to join the Carnival. You know, learn juggling or, er, how to ‘turn a trick.’ Oh, they’re already part of the ABC carney, ya say? I guess cooking and making it through the casting requirements of executive producers is much the same thing, huh.
Well then, let’s be a little understanding here… you gotta pay the big bills like dental, veterinary and vehicle maintenance somehow!
Of course, Splice, you are correct about the lentils. They're travelling in a small 4WD so I'd imagine that dog farts would be something they'd wish to avoid.
The program hasn't covered the paying of other bills, but the vehicle runs on vege oil (she poured a bottle in the petrol inlet to show us that).
What bugs me most about this program is they rave on about food miles (indirectly), and free-range pigeons and rabbits, and the freshness, etc. and how green the vehicle is running on vege oil... and you just can't get enough food foraging for it if everyone else is, especially with the population numbers now.
and you just can't get enough food foraging for it if everyone else is, especially with the population numbers now.
Let’s be sporting here. You’re not accounting for the possibility that these foragers could form gangs, and then a new religion loosely based on random moral strictures of the Judeo-Christian scriptures, before building into whole tribes of opportunistic and bloodthirsty survivalists.
It sounds unlikely, I know…
Yeah, but remember, they're armed.
Some have cutlery (as my family), and some have guns, for hunting of course, which would help in the foraging (and keeping away those who'd raid the privately controlled cornucopia of the strongest).
