For the young (and even older) men out there..
First: Buckin’ Billy Ray is one of the best man’s men out there. It would do you some good to observe and absorb his wisdom and message.

Second: At the 17:00 minute mark there are some good messages for Men.

Get dirty… demand a lot from your body, and never stop demanding a lot. The day you stop is the day you begin to expire.

I originally created this channel just as a test bed for anti-spam noscripts I was working on for a friends channel but since it wasn’t really needed I just stopped.

However, a good friend suggested I begin to share some information here that might be useful to those curious folks out there who wonder “How the other half lives”

With that in mind I’m going to start a few series of knowledge articles.

They’ll be separate but somewhat related articles on topics such as:

Bushcraft
Ancestral skills (Lost knowledge)
Tools and their use
Homesteading
Disaster Preparedness
Off-Grid living
Handcraft/Creating

Maybe more as time progresses, but that’s a good start.

I’m actually in the process of writing a book on the history of Homesteading that will focus on the beginnings of it all during 15th Century Europe, the Pioneer and Mountain Man era in America, the “Back to the Earth” movement in the 1970’s and the modern “Off Grid” movement of today, so this will be a good place to exercise those muscles.

Thanks Kodiak. 🙏

Still haven’t written any words of wisdom to share here.. though I should!

I’d like to share one heartwarming stupid small town thing.

I hit the local mercantile yesterday for some supplies.. milk, creamer, butter, cheese and a couple chicken pot pies for a quick easy dinner.

I also grabbed my “heading to town treat”… a Twinkie.

It’s how I reward myself for getting off my ass the driving to town, which I dislike ever since I moved to the mountains.

So anyway, the checker lady is scanning my groceries over the laser thing and the guy that works there is bagging for me. He must have been bored, we usually bag our own.

She scanned the twinkies and set them on the counter… I reached out and shifted them toward me to prevent them from getting smashed.

As I was swiping my card to pay, the guy grabs the twinkies and tosses them into a bag and says “You almost forgot your twinkies”

She smiled, looked over at him and said “He puts those in his pocket….”

She knows I put the twinkies in my pocket. 😃

Those small connections are everything.

Going to have to try this next fall.

Going to build a cold frame soon to get my seed starts going. Up in the northern mountains we can’t get our gardens started until mid to late spring. Frost is persistent.

I’ll share the build when I do.

This is who we are. This is where we came from. This is how we are supposed to be.
