If you don’t own an Crisis Cooker or other EPA approved cooking appliance for outdoor use you could be in for a shock the next time you go camping. I actually don’t know if this particular cooker is approved or not so don’t quote me on this. Yes, they have a website.

Depending on the state you live in in particular areas that require fires to maintain survival in basic off grid situations of living, you’ll wonder how future generations may survive at all given the price hikes going on since the Pandemic and restrictions on green living are a shadow of the good will statements of the green movement. Green Party? Ring any bells?! Green Peace is on the bandwagon since the beginning.

All good if you aren’t a politician or a gung ho over zealous warrior for planet earth. The Earth will shrug us off in a few generations and then there will be naught left to complain about emmissions or excess CO2 in the air that the trees and plants all love to live with. This planet is a symbiotic environment where one hand washes the other as an ecosystem. That is why it is a system, not a separate entity filled with competing entities. Competition is healthy. Excessive restrictions are not.

That is what keeps it all going, not the opposite that seems to be the delusion of the mains of the green movement. I’m all for green but lets be realistic, not destructive of the natural ways the air can recirculate and filter out the stuff we put in it. It simply goes too far.

Remember what you elected former President Obama for? He did a lot more than what people thought he ever would. So many bans and restrictions began a trend in government that has had major consequences for the current era we live in. It has never stopped. Perhaps temporarily reversed in some cases during Trumps time in office but then the trend resumed with our current Potus Biden.

I'm not going to expand on my reasons for stating each and every opinion in this article as this isn't a debate. My opinions on the state of governmental affairs and the countries situation presently are only my own. I’ll state them none the less.

There are political reasons for nearly every single restriction or ban in place, which again, imho are trickling down harshly on people who can't survive in less than primitive conditions due to being of low economic status. Have you ever watched the Discovery channels Alaskan Bush People? There are many people living this way in many northern states in the US. I don't have stats on this but it is real. Some of them don't have dreams they just want to stay alive. Burning wood is essential to them. You can't live in a wilderness without basic survival tools.

Love a tree, and breath for it, don’t restrict yourself from being part of the ecosystem, just don’t be stupid and trash what nature gives us freely. Do your part, just don’t make laws out of every nit picky thing. The USA has an excess of laws and legal red tape. The rest of the world is happier living in their homelands because of this I believe. At least thats my opinion presently.

Criminals are not what I’m talking about here. They ruin the normal folks attitudes by stealing the hungry news reporters attention to sell their point of view but they can’t change the views of the majority of people that don’t need the woke movement to have an opinion alternate to what they hear on TV and or online.
