Please read! A constant battle in my (as many) lives is getting mad/angry/anxious @ overall disrespect to our leaders/laws etc. I have had a breakthru thats been building but exploded into a belief this morning & must share. Metaphorically: Can you be mad at a deaf person of they cannot hear you, a mute who cannot speak to you or a blind person who cannot hear what your saying? For those of us who are Christian or even morally grounded we understand & believe that we have laws, we have elected persons (like them or not) who (In this earthly world) are in positions of authority & leadership to include law enforcement. The Bible clearly states (Romans alot) our Christian & civil responsibilities and leaves little question. Those who do not see morally or who are blinded will always be there. Our responsibility is to not be pulled into the same rage, protest or division but be ambassadors for Christ. We can never attract of we are divisive. We should also TRY to see people as God & Jesus do. This does not mean lay down to injustice but maybe see their actions differently. How bout this? Pray. Pray for them, our leaders & our nation. I don’t see this thinking as weak. I actually see it as proper warrior like. Thoughts?

Haven’t had an MRE in 30 +yrs. Had plenty back in the early days. Definitely had to explore the new grubs. They certainly have evolved since the 1st generation meals. This one was white chunk chicken with BBQ add sauce, cheese sauce, BBQ corn nut type snack & more. The electrolyte drink was a little neonish but fairly tasty. Definitely recommend you try some to understand what can be available if SHTF. Taste was not the highlight but not horrible.

Needed to try out my new Haven XL hammock/tent. What better excuse for a trip up to the middle TN mountains to my property. Honestly, any excuse will work for me. Yes, I did some work out here too! Fyi: The Haven gets 5 stars!

I know many men out there have a man cave, but I guess I have a man place. I think I’m OK with. 😃

ManCamp next weekend after 2 reschedules! Who’s gonna make it?

Found a pretty helthy brand of MRE quick camp food brand! Thought I’d share. Found it at REI.

MEN, this on this… “No man I ever met would concede that he is not already a man, or that he has lost a significant part of his masculinity. His very nature demands a respect for the masculine in him. So fundamental is this that to suggest a loss of manliness is perhaps the greatest affront that can be made to him. Yet, the sad truth is, speaking generally, men are no longer men.
I sometimes think that women want to rule the country.
I changed that opinion.
Women are compelled to take over, not fighting to take over. I thought some the men who I spoke @ with their wives would shoot me for my remarks-but instead they all agreed with me.
It’s still the fatherless society. The husbands are not husbands. All the women are crying out for a strong man & he’s just not there.
Throughout our society we find men who are weak, spoil-ed, pampered, spineless for the most part, lacking moral, physical or mental strength or all 3. There are men who fail to take their position as head of the household, who allow women & children to push them around, not wishing to accept the responsibility which is rightfully their own. Some in fact blatantly encourage their wives to assume this burden.
Many of our so-called jokes center around the idea of the wife “wearing the pants” in the family.”
