Yes, here we go again! I’ve written about local sources for paracord at least twice: Home Depot Now Selling Paracord……Not Really, andMore Local Paracord Options Yesterday, I stumbled across another option, and while it wasn’t paracord in bulk, the way I prefer to buy my paracord, it WAS…the real deal!

Preparing to be Prepared – Cleaning out the Freezer
I’ve been hearing rumors of a grass fed, free range beef deal that *might* be coming my way, and if the tales being told are true, I’m going to need some freezer space. I also have a line on a couple sources for wild hogs, another reason to have some freezer space available. While my […]

The Power Of Community – Calling in Favors
Finally, my life has settled back down. The last few months, I’ve been walking on eggshells, trying to keep track of the lies I’ve been telling my wife… not fishing lies (those NEVER stop), but ones about where I’ve been, and why I’m acting suspicious… I’d been planning a surprise party for her 40th 29++th […]

Free Everglades Tomato Seeds (Update)
UPDATE April 2014: Due to the high demand and ungratefulness of some, I will no longer be offering free seeds. I spent hours of my own time and took food out of my family’s mouth (literally), only to have people bitch and complain about the speed of my free service. No more. I will be […]
Stand Up Paddleboading
Last weekend was the first weekend in months that we didn’t have something planned (softball!) to keep us from enjoying the “local life”. Since we had the time available, we decided to spend the day playing in the river at a nearby sandy launch spot, and give paddleboarding a try. My wife has gone paddleboarding […]
Repost: One Bad Day
