Hello, in my mid-50s, seeking 1 acre of land to build off-grid – a house, a greenhouse, some pasture chicken. Spent my life traveling. Lived in Asia, Europe…Am now seeking a peaceful, low-key existence with only minimal contact with the world beyond my 1 acre. Not weird or anything, but I figure building a house, a greenhouse, and venturing into raising chicken and gardening would leave little time for socializing. So if you have 1 acre to sell where there is no CC&R’s or HOA and I can build as I wish- a geodesic dome or Cobhouse or just put an RV on it, would love to hear from you. The post Looking for 1 acre for Off-…

North of 60: Dog Sledding, Ice Caves, Snowboarding and Mountain Summits with Mandy
Back in January, I went on a climbing trip to Mexico. I had a great time climbing the amazing multi-pitch limestone walls out there, and enjoying the beautiful Mexican landscape. But I also met someone, and ultimately fell in love with this person, over the course of several months, writing e-mails and letters and postcards and talking over Skype. That person, Mandy, decided to come visit me in Whitehorse for two weeks in late March / early April. Wanting to impress her, and convince her that the Yukon is a fantastic, magical place, we jam-packed our days with winter…

Raptor Tactical Odin Belt Mark III Review
Picture Source: Raptor Tactical Stepping into 2020, it seems that two-piece gun belts have swept social media. The designs all work on the same principle, with an inner and outer belt. The inner belt fastens around the waist inside your belt loops, and the outer belt for attaching your holster and accessories. Together, they use hook and loop, most commonly Velcro, to sandwich your belt loops, creating a stiff mated pair between your pants and your “First Line” of gear. While there are many two-piece options on the market, I was in the market for three things in a belt…

It’s nice having a dog again, even if I do miss my old guy. I’m not so sure that I have any idea what I’m doing.I do occasionally find myself wondering if I should have him go for some gun dog training in case I ever decide I want to start hunting. He’s absolutely got the drive for it.
I’m not dead
I’ve been meaning to post here, but, life happens. I’ve been way too busy at work, haven’t done much gun stuff, and am pretty much burnt out on news / politics.I’ve bought a house, put down my dog, and rescued a 4 month old puppy.There’s much going on in the gun world in Delaware, none of it good. The Red State / Blue State balkanization continues, with individual liberty continually being crushed in the states controlled by Democrats, and not just on the gun front.Maybe the Courts will save Delaware and other Blue States, maybe not, but it’s hard to be hopeful about gun rights and equally hard to continue to fight for them here. The democrats in…

KLEPTOMANIA – STATUS & BLING
We R Cute Shoplifters: Inside the hidden teenage world of Tumblr’s pro-Bernie, anti-capitalist Bling Ring»“It was in 1816 that Swiss physician AndrĂ© Matthey identified and defined “klopemanie,” describing it as an impulse to steal things one didn’t need. Researchers who built on his work characterized it as a form of moral insanity, and many of them believed it was a condition that only affected women. For this reason, there were attempts to link its apparent prevalence among women to their biological nature. By the time Mary Ramsbotham appeared in court, tried for theft, her legal defense was able to successfully argue that she was suffering from a bout …
Security In A Digital Age
Cast your mind back a few decades. It was 2000 AD, and wifi was all the rage. Wireless router. It was more expensive than the standard wire coming out of the wall, so just about all of the early adopters were people with money. A couple of computer geeks I knew at the time, guys that were really savvy about all this internet stuff, decided to make a play for the brass ring. Their idea was to load up one of their cars with computer equipment, and drive around the swanky neighborhoods. If they detected a wifi signal, they would park on the street in front of the house and listen in. Almost…
