Living off the land 100%

[not-bono-ever]

Living off someone elses land and goodwill 40% abv

: would be far more fitting.

Found any rotting rotting wrasse heads you can make into an exciting foraged meal yet today stan ?

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Slight change of plan after thinking properly about things over a few morning beers...

After an expensive chemist bill, replacing gas, washing clothes, buying tobacco, etc... (this doesn't count as 100% Living off the Land).

I need to find a way of making cash here to be sure I have enough to reach Nazare. I have bought a 3 Meter x 1 Meter roll of white paper to sketch on. I'm going to try the streets by the casino. It is pedestrianised, and full of bars. If I can make €30 in 4 hours this afternoon, I will hike. If not... erm ... erm ...

Little bit concerned about my right ankle. Another beer before I start work should help.

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Anyway, I think I have already cooked enough Off the Land stuffs to prove it is possible. I'm spending my last pennies on a chicken salad

 

[bimble]

Salad ? You're buying salad with your last money? That's possibly the silliest thing you've done all day.

Nothing of the sort. you bought some stuff and cooked it on an camping stove.

Now we know, after the world has been eviscerated by the atom bomb, only Cockroaches and Stanley will be able to survive.

Perhaps it's time to change the title.

Living off the land - 20%
Letting other people buy me stuff - 25%
Sketching/chatting/blogging - 30%
Resting (with a beer) - 25%

Is Stanley cadging money and food off the cockroaches?

 

[mrs quoad]

Great to see we're back to lolventures with Urban's very own creepy sexually objectifying stalker

These threads always leave me feeling in need of a shower. It's like Syria, or that photo with Frank Bruno, Jimmy Savile and Peter Sutcliffe. There's just no way of morally engaging, and the decision to not engage has potential connotations of moral bankruptcy, too.

Still, BEETS AGAIN, IS IT STAN? GREAT. BEETS, AY? GREAT. BEETS.

Right.

So not really "Living Off The Land 100%" at all.

More "Selling My Labour For Cash In Order To Swap That For Goods"

Just like all those people with employment contracts that you try to deride.

This is... disappointing.

Stanley Edwards I think you need to drink some more water, if you are only drinking beer you could dehydrate, especially if you are walking a lot in this heat.

Also eat better. And stop pretending you are living off the land - going to a shop and buying stuff to cook on a camping stove is not that, not by a long shot.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Anyway, its Friday< let Stan relax and kick back abit

 

[not-bono-ever]

...make some new friends

 

[not-bono-ever]

...go to a few local bars and discuss art

I am drinking plenty of water. I am about to start a 60KM - 80KM hike with NO beer tokens

Eat better? Beetroot in spicy chili sauce with coriander and fresh crab is not good enough for you? Did you see my mackerel with potato and broad bean salad? I am eating extremely well. The list of all I have harvested is...

Crab.
Potatoes.
Tomatoes.
Lettuce.
Beet things (they taste like a slightly less peppery raddish).
Grapes.
Broad beans.
Mint.
Thyme.
Oregano.
Spinach.
Onions.
Stuff I have forgotten about.

The list of stuff that has come for free via the land includes...

Marjoram.
Cabbage.
Some other beet things.
A full seafood and rice meal.
Local red wine.
Beer.
Small black beans.

I have bought from the shops...

Chilies.
Garlic.
Beetroot (from a local market).
Olive oil.

I have bought a mackerel from a fisherman.

I recycled onions, red and green peppers, potatoes and more beet things from an outdoor market after it had closed.

I will bet that my diet now is better (in terms of health) than anyone else posting here. It is all fresh, fresh, fresh produce.

But, beer - yes. I am actually trying to cut down to Zero alcohol before 10PM by the time I reach Tavira. Night time drinking will always be a part of my life. Probably not for the next couple of days mind. This is going to be a tough, but hopefully very rewarding hike.

Couldn't find anywhere worth sketching for cash in Figueira da Foz. I am hoping to come across a small town with a suitable night scene to sketch this evening.

Must start walking!

 

[friedaweed]

Must start walking!

Is that you Travis?

 

[not-bono-ever]

Why not ride?
