The butterfly net, that is. Not the internet.

Dustin checks the sound at Hank’s Café, a dive on Nuuanu St just off Hotel St in Honolulu while Isaac sets audio levels for recording. Dustin played a great set — symphonic in structure, one theme blending into another.

The key to getting out from yoke of the 1% is having our own food and energy sources. This is our attempt to get a head start and be ready for the Apocalypse.

Native Hawaiian taro. Six months til harvest.

Sweet potatoes, mango trees, and macadamia trees from fore to background. Sweet potato and mango still immature. Macadamia nuts are mature and producing lots of nuts.

Papaya (there are about 10 of these small ones) in the foreground. Taro in the background.

Dustin preps huli for planting.

Preparation

For when the ships stop coming in — glass poi pounders! Taro is one of the most nutritious foods there is. The Hawaiians thought of this plant as their “big brother.” You can eat the leaves and root or corm a.k.a “kalo”. To make poi , the Hawaiian staple, the traditional way, is healthier than the modern way using machines. But it is against the law to sell to the public. The Health Dept says the poi pounders can’t be sterilized because of the porous nature of the volcanic rock. And yet hand-pounded poi lasts much longer than machine made poi. That’s the way life is in the modern world. You need a permit to do anything and everything. Logic be damned…

This taro will be ready to harvest in June 2012. I believe that’s when the world ends?
