The outdoor recreation industry
is mostly about the manufacture and sales of outdoor equipment and clothing then
it moves into education courses and adventure experiences. It's big business. I see canoes, boats, ATVs, RVs, dirt bikes
and all kinds of other stuff in driveways and yards everywhere.
There are lots of outdoor
activities all the way from walking to climbing, caving, water sports,
etc. There are outdoor adventure schools
where you learn basic outdoor survival skills.
There are campgrounds everywhere.
Outdoor jobs generally cover
lots of categories:
Outdoor recreation and outdoor
guides.
Environmental, ecology, green
jobs
Alternative energy
Agriculture
Gardening/ Landscaping
Parks and government natural
resources.
Forestry
Fishing
Outdoor adventure and tourism
Other jobs where being outdoors
is incidental to the job.
The pay is not extremely high in
any of these jobs but if you get to be outdoors and you get paid for doing
something you love doing then an outdoor job is way better than any office job.
Outdoor books generally go from
#796 to #799 at the library.
796. Outdoor sports.
797. Water and air sports.
798. Equestrian and animal sports.
799. Fishing, hunting, shooting.
If you are an outdoors
enthusiast, you might be interested in contacting/ joining an outdoors/
environmental groups for both general hiking and/ or ecology information.
The local hosteling centers have
hiking chapters. Many of these national
clubs have local chapters all over.
The Sierra club has lots of
local chapters.
If you plan to hike through most
government preserves, you're supposed to get a permit from a ranger station or
a field office. They use this
information for safety in case you don’t come back then they know they should
look for you.
Check out the National Park
Service, Federal Forest Service, State Park Service and your State Department
of Forests for information about hiking trails.
Check out local continuing
education classes or ask a hiking/ camping store about them. If you're going for a long trek in the
country, contact your county map office and buy an ordinance survey map of the
area.
Agriculture is food, much of it
hidden. We buy fruits and vegetables at
the store but corn, soy and other vegetables are used to create sweeteners and
food products that go into many foods that most of us don’t know about.
Farming is used to create food, biofuels,
alcohol and trees for pulp, lumber and furniture, etc.
Gardening is huge for fun and
function. Every city government and big
company uses gardeners and landscapers to take care of their property.
Many homeowners plant a few
flowers.
Agriculture, farming and
gardening provide the food and beauty for the world. Careers span everything from growing plants
and raising livestock to selling and public relations.
You either love doing these
activities outdoors or you don’t. You’re
either born that way, it’s in your blood or you grow up outdoors and want to
live there all your life.
Even with all the automation,
it’s still a better lifestyle than being in a building all day long.
The career opportunities are
there. People all over the world need
irrigation, soil science, pesticide control and even genetically modified
plants to maximize their efficiency.
People will always need to eat
no matter what else happens.
Landscaping is cutting lawns and
planting flowers. Landscape architecture
is a fancy word for a professional gardener.
You may not be able to do
skilled gardening work but with a truck, a lawnmower and a wheelbarrow, you can
make money and get regular customers.
Offer to clean out basements too.
You could go all out, take some courses and become a landscape
architect. It's not a get rich quick
business unless you get a lot of contracts and hire about 50 people to do the
labor while you manage it.
The more knowledgeable you are,
the more work you get. You set your own
hours, you're outdoors and you get plenty of exercise to stay healthy. The business is 50% hard work, 50%
knowledge.
Read up on it in the #635
section of your library. You have to be
creative to design gardens with flowers, bushes and trees. Learn about pest control and add that to your
arsenal.
Cut tree branches. Install irrigation systems.
Get into concrete finishing with
stoneware barbecues, walls, etc.
Take courses in gardening and
business education. Go to trade
shows. You can start out of your home
with a truck and some basic tools.
Simply advertise in the local newspaper, bulletin boards and in the
Yellow Pages.
Smalltime farming is a way to
create your own fruits, vegetables, berries, nuts, meat, etc. for yourself,
sell the rest to the big ag companies or sell at farmer markets. I still see farmers selling product on the
side of the road in some places.
If you're a country type or
entertain dreams of escaping to the country, a smalltime farmer with a few
acres can earn money by growing cash crops, cutting out the middleman and
selling directly to either a retailer or to the public.
Current cash crops are
strawberries, grapes, bush berries (black, blue and raspberries), water
chestnuts, oriental persimmons (like oranges), sweet corn, watercress,
soybeans, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, garlic, herbs (rosemary, basil, ginseng),
kiwi fruit and mushrooms(regular, shitake).
Orchard fruit like apples, plums,
cherries and peaches are also good cash crops.
Offbeat poultry like ducks, geese and even ostrich sell well also. Don't mess with hemp unless you're ready to
go to jail or grow it in Canada. Contact
your state and other state cooperative extension services for their catalogs of
useful books on all these topics.
The U.S. Department of
Agriculture (Washington, DC 20250, usda.gov), National Agricultural Library
(#1052, South Bldg., Washington, DC 20251, nal.usda.gov) and U.S. Forest
Service (Washington, DC 20250, fs.fed.us) also offer useful information and
books for sale.
Books about agriculture are
between #630 and #639 at the library.
They go from plants to animals.

Green energy is good but how much of it is just greed, the
same as oil trying to protect their interests?
Don’t trust anybody with regards to their true intentions.
A job is a job. If
you work in the green industry, you’re not necessarily a happy, activist,
granola-eating citizen who loves humanity and wants to save the world. You’re someone working for the man, stuck in
this capitalist matrix just like oil workers are.
Green is not morally superior to anyone else. It’s at least part scam with all those
“phony” products they put out claiming they’re chemical-free or organic,
charging outrageous prices for them like two dollars for one organic cookie at
a farmers’ market or a hundred dollars for a chemical-free shirt. Who’s the sucker?
Suppose you own green stocks or have money in a green
company. It’s in your best interests to
promote green energy, climate warming, etc. because you make more money not
necessarily because it’s true.
It’s very easy to get confused
about the so-called green-sustainable-eco-environment movement or
industry.
When I was trying to create a
sensible job book about it, I realized it was all over the place.
For me, it was simple. The Obama Administration came in acting
liberal like they were going to change the world. They gave a bunch of money to newly emerging
green companies. Al Gore and Obama got
rich. Michael Moore produced the film Planet
of the Humans which shows all these green companies in tatters and the
stupidity of green energy but all is forgotten.
Life goes on. The few at the top
got rich. The taxpayers pay.
There are lots of words and
terms for green energy like:
green
eco or ecology
environmental
environmental medicine
sustainability
homesteading
self-sufficiency
industrial disease
conservation
natural resources
alternative
renewable
You got the ecology people and
the Environment Protection Agency trying to save the world and our health from
global warming and the pollution caused by industry, manufacturing and mass
consumption.
You got people in the
conservation and natural resources fields working for the government in cozy,
secure jobs. Are they trying to save the
planet and the environment or are they just riding the coat-tails of a bloated
bureaucracy?
You got the Environmental
Protection Agency with its compliance act requiring companies to comply with
their laws. There are multi-thousands of
jobs there.
There are many seasonable jobs
on the science side, going out and gathering data from plants and animals.
You got environmental medicine
from the medical field trying to deal with diseases caused by toxic chemicals
like asbestos, pesticides, poor indoor air quality, etc.
On the capitalist side, it’s all
about creating sustainable-alternative-green products to replace or minimize
existing products like:
green builders trying to build
green houses that don’t use chemicals and don’t use much energy
all kinds of green,
minimal-chemical products from clothes to organic food to cosmetics.
green cars that use alternative
energy
alternative energy that doesn’t
use oil or nuclear energy
Environmental careers are about:
protecting the environment
working in wilderness areas or
national parks
Environmental science,
education, policy, law, activism, journalism environmental engineers and
planners
comply with environmental
protection laws
environmental media
Activism
Fund Raiser for NGO
Governmental Affairs
Statistician
Survey and Mapping Technician
Transportation Planner
Water/Wastewater
pollution prevention
helping businesses comply with
environmental laws either as a lawyer, consultant or green builder who can
adapt buildings to new green technology
This book is about ideas on the
ecology-conservation-environment side of the green field.
I read David Suzuki's Green
Guide and several other books you might find at #363.7 or #640 at the
library. There is a great divide between
people who care about green living and all the other people who seem indoctrinated
by all the glitter on TV which tells you to keep buying junk you don’t need and
keep doing meaningless stuff even if we’re polluting the planet and destroying
the atmosphere.
Green living is a hot buzz word
nowadays but I was green a long time because as a kid we had a summer cottage
on a lake which helped me develop my ways close to nature. I believe that love of nature is something
inherent that you're born with but it's sucked out of us in the modern world.
Don't buy into the
capitalist-pop culture world we've created for ourselves as in being a passive
spectator-consumer hooked on junk food and don't be a greedy bastard living in
extreme material excess while we're all perfectly aware of all the hunger and
poverty in the world.
In my twenties, I dabbled in
building a log cabin and a cordwood house.
Now I feel good because I stayed close to my true nature which I talk
about in more depth in A Free Spirit's Search for Enlightenment. I'm not bound up in materialism or
socioeconomic status.
I have my health and vitality
and peace of mind because I'm not a selfish show-off trying to impress others
with my socioeconomic status, an artificial value that disrupts the harmony in
a person's soul.
The Natural Law of the Universe
is be who you were born to be, take what you need and leave the rest.
I have two power cords, one for
my computer and one for the devices near my bed. When I finish using each, I shut the power
cord off to totally shut all that electricity off. Meanwhile I have relatives who leave their
wireless modems on all the time 24/7.
Nobody really knows. Nobody ever talks about Fukashima. Listen to rense.com or rense on youtube. He and his guests say the Pacific Ocean is
dead. The radiation has hit
California. I believe him to a certain
point.
I got sick from the sulphites in
lemon juice then I started getting headaches from something. I think it was aspartame in pop.
I got Dr. Hulda Clark's book
Cure for all Cancers and when I read it, I thought she was obsessed with being
pure away from all the chemicals in industrial products but she did what nobody
else has done. She catalogs almost every
product in existence and tells you what's wrong with it.
The modern capitalist industries
will not tell you if their products contain materials that are toxic to your
health. You have to learn these things
for yourself then decide how dangerous all that stuff is and if it's a risk to
your longevity and quality of life.
I don't believe in a bunch of
radical activists going off to create their own utopia like Galt's Gulch in Ayn
Rand's novel Atlas Shrugged because that doesn't solve the problem of planetary
excessive consumption of finite resources and I don’t think it’s possible
anyway because everybody is really a loner who wants their own pad and their
own set-up the way they like it.
Communal living always breaks down unless everybody has their own house.
For me, it’s healthier and
spiritually peaceful to pursue a minimalist materialistic life where I don’t
use much stuff and when I do, I try to go green as much as I can.
Writing this book gives me
meaning and maybe I help a few people along the way see that excessive
consumption beyond the level of basic comfort could be the most evil and destructive
force on the planet.

I created this book as a homage

we started creating cities. That was the
end of human freedom when people calling themselves governments and religions told
us what was good and right.
