KTGOutdoors

New to an area? Scared to go out and hike? No friends to ask? Cut yourself some slack! Do what you can, even if it's a walk along the lake. Bless yourself with a trip to the Great Outdoors.

A video foray into yogurt making.

There is a diabolical joy that comes about as a result of just getting a fish to bite your lure. The feel, the look, the joy! You'll stay out fishing for days without eating or sleeping in order to get that feeling back. Don't fish? Golf has a similar idea: the moment you hit that ball the way that makes a "snick" sound and drives that white ovoid a mile into the air, you're hooked. Forever. You'll stay on the driving lane until you die just so you can make that hit again. The Great Outdoors welcomes you, and invites you to claim the joy of fish bites, bug bites, cold weather, sunshine, and mocking Ospreys.

After several weeks, filled with moving and other hideous activity, I had to get out and start fishing the new location. I live between Lake Coeur d'Alene and another smaller lake, and the great fat whopping Spokane River. Everyplace I went was closed, fenced, you can't get there from here. And I started getting frustrated, until I found a good spot to lose a few lures and get wet. New locations can be scary, and that can feel overwhelming. But you've got a friend at KTG Outdoors that says "Go anyway! Get out! Get frustrated!" It's worth it. Whatever you have to do to get into the outdoors, it's worth it.

Strong, healthy, joyous, and prosperous is our goal here at KTG Outdoors. This video talks about adding supplements to your daily regimen. It also talks a bit about goose poop because we are in North Idaho, on Hayden Lake, at Honeysuckle Beach. Lots of docks at the beach because it's a mecca in the warmer weather. The Canadian geese love the docks in the wintertime, and have covered them with mountains of guano, feces, poop. Anyone wanting to make jokes about the poop deck can just go right ahead, I've already done it. Anyhow, back to the supplements: we need supplements above the 35th parallel particularly, and because our soil is a disaster, we typically have deficient diets. Here's what I recommend, and what I take: Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Vitamin K2, magnesium, and zinc. The Great Outdoors requires a healthy immune system, and life is just better if you keep your immune system humming along and strong. Check the Zelenko Protocol and the flccc.org website to get more information on these supplements and why they are so necessary. And I'll see you soon in The Great Outdoors.

KTG Outdoors is moving to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, and into Free America! Part of the fun and anxiety of a new place is finding all the special spots on the rivers and lakes. It's a chance to face your doubts and head on out. It was cold today, in the upper 20s, and the Spokane River at Johnson Mill River Park was as still and calm as a plate. Canadian geese and bufflehead ducks kept me company as I threw lures out into the water and reeled them back. Mostly empty. A great day, and a great adventure in a new place. My new home. So get outdoors, friends, you'll be glad you did.

The tyrants have scared people stupid, and it's going to take some effort on our part to help them out of their craziness. Too many people are dehumanizing themselves by wearing the slave muzzle voluntarily. It's demonstrably masochistic, and short of a law against it, we're going to need to help these people out of their insanity. I'm not sure how, but the number of people I see in North Idaho wearing slave muzzles voluntarily is appalling. Something must be done, and it's up to us patriots to do it.

... and the crash is terrifying and glorious. Keep your head up. Pray. Do your work.

American culture is a weakness industry. It's business model relies on the lie that begins "You're old and getting older. Therefore, you are physically weaker, cognitively less able, financially poorer, and your immune system is jacked." Cui bono? Who benefits? All the people who want to sell you things that take advantage of your supposed weakness. Refuse to comply. This video is the first of many that shows you how to get better in every respect. Begin with vascular health. Breathing and cold showers. Breathing: https://youtu.be/tybOi4hjZFQ Cold Showers: https://youtu.be/7uTyrarHwYE

KTG goes outside its usual wilderness habitat to report from CommieTown, Soviet of Washington. Those of you who live outside communist America do not understand the psychosis of the residents here. It's 100% deadly coof, Kung Flu, BoogieMan flu.... We're all going to die! It's insanity, group insanity. Everywhere, outdoors, indoors, in private cars, alone, and together, the psychotic communist residents of CommieTown, Washington sport the slave muzzles. All ages. One, even two slave muzzles at all times. KTG is heading out to the salt water beach in a couple of days, and wanted to post this update in response to the general ignorance about how truly awful communism is in America. It's bad. And the citizens here? They want it that way. There's a reason we call the commie governor "Jaydolph." He's getting ready to lock up those who remain unjabbed.

If you place your trust in God, He will do everything He can to keep you pointed in the proper direction. Even when you don't want to go. I hadn't been sleeping well, high heartrate, dissatisfied. God reminded me to get back to the wilderness. The current destruction of the Republic got to me, and I fell. This is a day where God restored me. And I remembered a story from a time when things made sense, and I felt cherished: Don The Moss. Follow Him, even if it scares you. Or, more especially, if it does scare you, He's calling you forward. We need your gifts, even if it means putting moss on your head and telling funny stories.

Is there any doubt that Winter is the best season of all? Does any other season have white love from the sky? No. All Winter asks of you is to dress well enough so you don't die, or go blind. And it offers? S.N.O.W. Even in Edmonds, WA if you're lucky. We've gotten nearly a foot of lucky today, and it is grand. Sometimes The Great Outdoors is your own doorstep, parking lot, and street.

Last year I still had hope that we could recover from the stolen election. I believed the institutions I'd depended on all my life would function in this most desperate time. They did not. They are corrupt, destroyed, rotting, and gangrenous. They are poisoning and killing the Republic. Now, after a year, we're watching our beloved Republic being destroyed by the communist usurpers, in the White House, in the hospitals, big Pharma, in State houses, in universities, in grade schools, high schools, big box retail. The way to thrive when everything is being destroyed is to remember that you have to emerge whole and strong--communism destroys, but it cannot rebuild. We rebuild. Care for your mind, body, and spirit in this way: 1. Get right with God. Proclaim Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. He is real, true, and eternal, and this will set your spirit up to thrive in the days to come. 2. Turn off the television. It is poison propaganda from virtually every channel. Entertainment can be found online and in other, wholesome places. Television is poison for your mind. 3. Get your body healthy. Eat real food, primarily red meat protein and fat, with some greens, fruits, and vegetables. No processed foods, no junk sugar. Half your body weight in ounces of water every day. Supplements for us all: Vitamin C, Vitamin D, magnesium, and zinc every day. Mind, body, spirit. You are a creature made in God's holy image, and you can become strong. We need you for the battle. The Republic needs you to be a whole human being.

Fishing in the pouring rain requires a beautiful yellow rainsuit. Which I have, from years ago when I thought learning to sail might be fun. You don't have to pack for an expedition and head to Nepal to have a good time, even in the rain. Start small, start simple, and don't trust Siri to get you there. A fun morning in the pouring rain at Blackman's Lake in Snohomish, WA.

Just because it was supposed to snow everywhere else but the Mountain Loop Highway doesn't mean it was going to snow where I wanted to go. Except it did. You can't trust the weathermen, but you can trust that white stuff piling up on the road. A brief video on the beauty and surprise of the white love from heaven.

I'm leaving, by choice, the most beautiful place on planet earth: the Pacific Northwest just north of Seattle, WA. The Communists have destroyed the State, and it's getting worse. Soon, neighbors will come for neighbor to put us into the Coof Camps. The Seattle communist Sawanttttt has just stolen another election; the slave muzzle mandate will be permanent; the mandates to get the shot will be enforced by the tyrannical rule followers who "just want to keep their jobs." A patriot can no longer live here in good conscience. Praise God that I live in a Republic. I'm moving to Free America as soon as my feet can get there. Pray for those who cannot leave WA. There are reasons, and it is a very difficult time for us all. Many have not seen the consequences of communism, and don't get a feel for it from the history books. I've seen it, and cannot abide the results. Goodbye, CommieTown. Goodbye to my home State.

Lake 22, just off the Mountain Loop Hwy outside of Granite Falls, WA, is a good training hike. It's beautiful, it's easily accessible, and at 2.7 miles one way it's a good test to see if you can navigate the trail and come back in one piece. The trail is rough, and was a full on river for most of it. Did I have my winter boots on? Mmmm, nope, but was glad for my new wool socks! Another invitation to get out into The Great Outdoors, any way you can get there.

As may be apparent, KTG Outdoors makes her own rules as a freeborn American. Rule followers and their feckless weakness destroy not only themselves but take down the rest of us in the process. This is a warning to the rule followers and those who love them. There is nothing they will not do if someone in authority tells them to do it. Nothing. We've seen this before.

This video is a short story of yesterday's fun wandering around the Stillaguamish and Sauk Rivers, trying to fish in the rain from the end of a log, falling in the mud (again). It's also a brief intro about KTG Outdoors' "Why" - and that why is because I have to.

The Wilderness is a spiritual adventure that heals and encourages your soul like nothing else on earth. Especially during these crazy times, you need to do everything you can to boost your courage and create a life that makes you want to Get After It every single day. You'll be rewarded. Every single time. River turtles. Leon Troutsky. Wind. Sunshine. The sharp smell of pine straw and the rush of green smell when you take a tumble in the deep grass at river's edge. Go. Go. Go. To the Great Outdoors.

I couldn't go to my regular spot in the mountains because my knee wasn't entirely healed, and I didn't have my Killer Pad 187 knee protection. But I had to get out, and decided the Skykomish River in Monroe was the place to go. What fun.

When you're crawling up out of the pit you find yourself in, Akira the Don's Meaningwave music is the best there is. He combines wisdom with a beat that makes magic. My favorites include Jordan B. Peterson's work (Stand Up Straight, Make It Beautiful, et al) and Paul Harvey (Thanks, God, I'll Take It From Here). Akira the Don should be part of your arsenal for courageous living.

A piece of my story, and the beginnings of an explanation of why KTG Outdoors was created. Disconnection is a risky place to stay. Face your shortcomings. Learn what you need to learn. Find a way. Find connection. And as always, head to The Great Outdoors to help with the travel.

Jordan B. Peterson has a chapter in his book "Beyond Order" called "Do Not Do What You Hate." After a lifetime forcing myself to do what I thought others wanted and destroying myself in the process, I can no longer do what I hate. Even if I want to for "pragmatic" reasons, as in "I'm broke and need an income." God saved the Israelites by parting the Red Sea and allowing them to move to safety, then crushing their enemies with the walls of water. Doing the right thing for yourself sometimes feels like crossing the Red Sea on crutches. All you want is enough income to pay the bills, and do what you are really good at and want to do. You can do what you need to do. You are more than what faces you. It feels unsafe, and humiliating. Keep going. It's worth every painful step.
