greenland - Catalog

Hi everyone, I created a board called /greenland/ about a year ago and promptly abandoned it once it started to die down. Is this inspired by that at all?

Scouts

I know you guys have the skype group which I have not joined yet.

but…

Are you at the stage of some anons visiting and getting a feel for the place? I would be down to chip in some money (maybe all) because I'm rich and this shit is interesting.

Trades/skills/knowledge

So what's everyone's trade here? What could you offer the project if we were all there right now fresh off the boat, assuming you have all the necessary tools with you?

Right off the bat I'm going to admit I'm an unskilled worker. I did some labor-intensive work with my dad years ago, but nothing I really learned from it. I could probably hang drywall, tape joints, texture it, and give it some coats of paint and semigloss, but that's it. I know the theory of cutting down trees safely, but haven't had enough practice with a chainsaw to safely cut anything taller than 30-40 feet; my face cuts are garbage. I'd have to admit boys, I'd be fairly worthless to everybody right now, but I'd absolutely be willing to work as hard as I could doing grunt work.

Do we have any carpenters, plumbers, electricians, anyone who knows how to set foundations and lay slab? We need solid tradesmen immediately

We'll probably need a veterinarian.

Whatever you think you're good at, list it here.

Alternatives

Maybe we should consider alternatives, as some Eastern European dountries sell land pretty cheap, and in the future could sell for alot of money? The Faroe islands also seem pretty good for location. Look for example at www.inni.fo

New movement

>>>/camac/

Me and another Australian from the Skype group have made a new movement for our country. We simply want to make a traditional Christian agricultural community in Australia

It's called Christian Australians Making an Agrarian Community (CAMAC) and it's quite new. We're currently writing a manifesto

We'd love for you to join us! Thank you and God bless.

Camp century

Thought you might find this interesting

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ujx_pND9wg

Camp century the city under the ice, complete with a self sufficient nuclear generator and enough barracks to host over 5000 men.

The camp was run from 1959-1966 and im currently looking for information on what happened to it after the cold war.

ITT: Agriculture General

so in pic related is a Public greenhouse which are becoming more and more common in Greenland, and as the temperature warms for some crops these are not even needed.

Though among these crops are strawberries, potatoes, carrots and the like; I propose we take a different route to the farming of Arctic conditions, instead of trying to get non Arctic plants to do well we use Native arctic plants and try and pollinate them with different species to increase the gain.

such as:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empetrum_nigrum

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilberry

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaccinium_vitis-idaea

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniper_berry

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelica_archangelica

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctostaphylos_alpina

and we can also get into Brewing like what has been tried in :https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenland_Brewhouse however they went bankrupt so we would need a different business strategy for that.

so lets discuss ==Practical== means of farming in Greenland, I might get into some Aquaculture and perhaps irrigation of the hot springs to warm the ponds.

Mining in Greenland and how to use it to our Advantage

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disko_Island

for an example, it is one of the only places on earth where native Iron is found without native Origin.

and more:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemstone_industry_in_Greenland

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geology_of_Greenland we could set up "camps" near these sites where we could build Potential Greenhouses, farms, small herds, and even stock on Luxury Items that we can sell and use to Obtain funds.

now legal issues aside, if we were able to do this we could raise enough money to actually do a difference and do major endeavors to help wildlife, though I'll do a different thread on that later or something.

discuss?
