Just a quick look at the progress and failures in my garden. Plus some new plants have been added. Enjoy

Just walking through my yard and spotted the smallest one of the three garter snakes living on my property.

Just a walk through of all the things I am growing this year. Enjoy!

We have been switching our old tools and yard equipment over to Lowe's Kobalt 24v MAX line up. When I needed a new trimmer two years ago, we bought a 24V Max Kobalt lithium powered trimmer. It blew away my expectations. So, as tools wore out we slowly moved over to their 24v MAX line up. Today, my wonderful woman surprised me and decided to buy us a new mower. Ours was an old Craftsman push mower from the 1990s. Keeping with our replacement plan, she bought the Kobalt 2X 24v MAX mower. We like the move off of gasoline powered equipment and consolidating our tools into one type/brand. This gives all our tools a universal battery type that can easily be charged for free via our solar panels. Thus, cutting all out out of all basic yard maintenance. This also means we have the ability to use all our new lithium tools in a grid down emergency. Also, cutting the cord with the battery powered tools is a huge bonus too. I'll keep updated on performance over time and my thoughts. Enjoy the video!

It's been a while since I last posted, so I figured I would update you on what I have been into. I just been busy. I am not going anywhere and will be posting more soon. Enjoy!

Tarps and tents can mean the difference from being comfortable or miserable when in nature. I take time every year to check my gear for any damages, mildew, waterproof abilities, and to reacquaint myself with each item. Also, it makes for some fun backyard camping with the kids. Remember to use and maintain your gear so you are not fumbling with it when you need it.

This is the bare bones setup I carried while doing local travel throughout 2020. This is not a have everything bag. This is a bag I carry everyday that has extra items I use frequently or may need in a pinch. Hope you enjoy! I will be putting out more content soon here on Rumble so keep and eye out!

Every day I carry this bag when traveling locally. These are all things that I might need doing daily task. They may also come in handy in a pinch for an emergency situation to give me the edge in need to make it to safety. Enjoy!

We have been working on redoing our mud room for a while. The plan was to turn it into a staging area for our gear and chill out area for the dogs. Having our gear all setup in one area makes it easy to grab in an emergency and helps us stay organized. We finally completed it and I figured you all would like to see our setup. Enjoy!

It's that time again... time to recharge! Today, I am cycling through a lot of my stored rechargeable devices and 18650 batteries. Power outages are bad and can mean life or death if you need to make an emergency call but you have no way to charge your phone. It's also nice to have stored power for many other uses and devices in an emergency. Enjoy the video!

I went to my local second hand store "Habitat for Humanity" and scored! I found a Vintage GE 40 Channel HELP CB Radio. It came complete with all paperwork, the original box and all the parts. Let's check it out this portable emergency CB radio!

So the snow has stopped in my area and things are beginning to warm up. This warmer weather gave me the opportunity to get some outdoor projects on my to-do list finally done. Here is what I have been up to. I figured you all would enjoy an update!

Here is a video I took of my Dogo Argentino playing and enjoying life. Remember to enjoy the little things!

We had a BLM march this last fall in my area. I figured you may want to see what a BLM march looks like, in a small conservative dominated city. Their numbers are very limited here as you can see. I caught this footage on my CCTV system and phone. Audio starts when the phone footage starts. Remember stay safe out there!

Today I am going to walk you through one of my alternative power sources for my bug out vehicle, propane. I will show you what I have and why I have it, and what I carry in my propane setup. Most have alternative power sources at their house in case of an emergency, so why not have a few options in your B.O.V. too?! Enjoy!

Today, I am modifying my Crossman Storm XT to have a compartment in the buttstock. The Storm XT has a solid hardwood stock, so drilling into it will be a requirement. The plan is to create a small compartment behind the rubber buttstock pad, but not too big... I've got to make sure we don't compromise the integrity of the stock. I figure the extra space can be used for backup ammo, a cleaning kit or some other useful items. So, come with me as I make yet another modification to this pellet rifle

I am adding a side rail to my break barrel air rifle (Crossman Storm XT). This can be used for a flashlight, with a waterpoof capsule for extra ammo storage, laser pointer, or even a IR flashlight. So sit back, relax and enjoy a jam while I knock this modifications out.
