AUTUMN 2023 SERIES This is a Pop-By video with a great, but brief message. Hint: The message is very powerful. Check it out. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Sugar Man continues work on the garage project. We make a lot of progress, and add some crazy unexpected additions. We have already enjoyed several snow storms in this autumn season. Winter in Subsistence is Sugar Man's favorite time of the year. It is coming soon. It's the most wonderful time... Due to the season (for effect), some work was done in the dark. Verrry Errrie... I hope some viewers enjoy the mini-tribute to the movie, Blair Witch Project, in the non-traditional close to this video. LoL Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Sugar Man has been working on the garage expansion. Work...well, it is ongoing. There were builds, rebuilds, changes, expansions, and a lot of contemplation. The current state of construction is fully functional. So far, we have a roof, a mezzanine, a bridge to the glass / grow section of building A. There's more, but you should watch the video and see for yourself. The autumn season has already brough several very nice snow storms. Soon the lake will freeze over. And it is December already... WHAAAAAT??? No worries. We always have at least one mining drill pulling water out of the earth. Wells are a wonderful ting. Yo! Come for the fun. Stay for the love

AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Sugar Man spends a couple of days hunting loot at the bottom of the North lake. The haul is tremendous on each day. We even get some night looting done while we are down there. Luckily, the white colors glimmer and shine off of the sandstone and pearl shells. Hmmm, it would be nice to have a diving headlamp [hint - Cold Games]. It was a lot of fun making this video. I hope you get a few laughs or grins. Thank you, everyone who watches. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

SUBSISTENCE: AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Sugar Man is having a great run in the lava caves. Living, Learning, and Loving the loot. Building is always one of Sugar Man's favorite pastimes, and we do a good amount of building in this three part 'series within a series'. A lot happens, and I am trying out some new stuff too. See you there! Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

SUBSISTENCE: AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Sugar Man dominates the bats, and scores huge amounts of loot in the cave system. The lava-cave boxes seem to be around every corner, and this is likely the biggest haul we've ever had down there. It's HOT, but we brought alot of water to keep Sugar Man hydrated. Let's start exploring farther from the typical path of travel, and see what lies beyond the known routes of safety and familiarity. This is the second of three parts in 'Autumn Is Here, Winter Is Coming, Let's Go To The Caves'; another Series within a Series. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

SUBSISTENCE: AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Sugar Man journeys to the southern lake shack, and prepares to dive to the caves to look for resources like black crystal, random ammo or explosives, and regular crystal. We will also scope out the supplies situation in various cave bases, stations, and shacks. In the near future we will be doing some building improvements and additons down there. See you there! Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

This is a creed to which we could all aspire. It moved me. I found it online, and had to share. God Bless you.

SUBSISTENCE: AUTUMN 2023 SERIES Hang gliding from different high mountain peaks is the "high-point" of this video. It is actually the entire point of this video. Watch and see the Subsistence world with an Eagles view perspective. Can Sugar Man earn the distance achievement? Will Sugar Man fall to an untimely death? Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

SUGAR MAN'S FUN FACTS #1: A VIDEO SHORT - Purely by accident, Sugar Man has discovered that a Moose will chase after your ATV, just like the Cougars and Bears. This Fun Fact video short features some playful frolicking and a sort of parade through the front yard of our Motor Lodge. Definitely worth a few chuckles. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

SUMMER 2023 SERIES (final summer episode) Sugar Man takes advantage of the last day of summer 2023 and the first day of autumn 2023 all in one video. We find some locked crates and defy death (ATV style) more than once in this episode. New Stuff: Previews - I am trying something new in this video. At the beginning, I tacked on a couple of clips from the making of this very video.

SUMMER 2023 SERIES In this episode, Sugar Man peruses the map in search of whatever happens, or whatever he can find. He definitely finds adventure, but there is also LOTS of loot. Come for the fun. Stay for the love

SUMMER 2023 SERIES Sugar Man cannot get enough of the roaming and romping all over the map on the ATV. It's profitable, it's fun, and dog-gonnit, we enjoy it immensely. In this episode we find a few locked crates, encounter and/or evade several bears and cougars. Oh yeah, we do also get some wild riding on camera. Just call him Sugar Knevel. You never really know what is going to happen, and that is perhaps the most fun of all the things in the Subsistence world. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

SUMMER 2023 SERIES We hang out and enjoy the loft of the Motor Lodge in this video. The view from these heights (loft window) is simply magnificent. There is more, including Sugar Man's discussion about the mysterious disappearing water pump. Stop by and hang out! Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

SUMMER 2023 SERIES Sugar Man is Out and About in this episode. Lots of animal encounters are what we experience on this adventure which spanned over a number of days. Sugar Man picks up some righteous stuff. Join us for some exploration and looting the world. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

SUMMER 2023 SERIES Sugar Man simply could not stop logging. He logged and logged, and then he logged some more. Even after reaching the mark of 2000 logs, it still was not enough for Sugar Man. Finally, at 2,800 logs (two full rows in the backpack), Sugar Man was satisfied. That is some serious wood. Because of this massive load of lumber it was possible to completely refill the large storage crate - the one that is situated across from the workbench in building A. Also, the two-row stash (normally kept in the crate underneath the workbench), will likewise be refilled soon.

SUMMER 2023 SERIES Sugar Man finishes off yet another logs quest, but this time it is for 2000 logs. A very brief celebration follows the chopping of the 2000th log. Next...

SUMMER 2023 SERIES The change of seasons has Sugar Man's attention as we drive around checking out the colors of autumn. We have to be on the lookout for cougars and bears as always, but paying attention to where Sugar Man is driving is also important (at all times). LoL Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

A practical joke by grandpa.

SUMMER 2023 SERIES Sugar Man takes it really easy in this episode. We watch chickens grow, and fight off an annoying black bear while observing the barely visible red health line that is directly above a chicken's green progress bar. It is so thin it's difficult to see, but it progresses to the right for each level of development in a chicken's life. At each new level it resets, of course, and starts over on the left. Then it moves to the right until it reaches the end, and again it resets. And so on, and so on, until the end of level 10. Then you eat the chicken! Chickens are LIFE. More videos will be uploading immediately. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

SUMMER 2023 SERIES Sugar Man is on the move and all about the map in search of loot. A lot of funny things happen when you travel around the Subsistence world. The adventures often seem to come out of nowhere. So we just gotta poke around... Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

SUMMER 2023 SERIES This is a collection of incidents and scenes experienced by yours truly during Sugar Man's day-to-day exploits. Funny and Interesting.

SUMMER 2023 SERIES This is very exciting. FINALLY, we are ready to unveil Sugar Man's Motor Lodge. Having been under construction for nearly two RL months, the DIY rebuild of Building B is at approximately 90% completion. This has been a long time coming. I have been tight-lipped (very hush-hush), and operated on the downlow in an effort to keep the secret. It makes me happy to be ready to share. Although I have more ideas for the Motor Lodge, we will be doing some other things for a while. During this time I will defrag from this insane long-term project. It was a lot more of a project than I would have imagined. After over 4000 nails (I stopped counting), an unknown number of thousands in logs (for planks), and a big pile of metal scrap, at last the fun can begin. There will be stunts, adventures, and more hi-jinks to come in future videos. Thank you to my followers and viewers. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.

SUMMER 2023 SERIES Here it comes... Uploading right now. Hey everybody, well, I know I meant to have this video uploaded some time during the past weekend. There were audio issues. Ugh. The building of Sugar Man's Motor Lodge was our largest project to date. Wow! It was so much fun. I hope you enjoy the Motor Lodge and the videos. Come for the fun. Stay for the love.
