    Survival Course Update

    There are many interesting aspects to life as I get older, and by “interesting” I mean they mostly suck. One aspect that I’ve found less than ideal is my lack of desire to get things done that I’ve committed to. Whereas I used to “go, go, go” until bedtime, that’s just not the case these…

    Revamped Survival Course. You Interested?

    I’d been racking my brain on another survival book to write. But, to be honest, I’m not coming up with much right now. At least, nothing that’s interesting to me. Then it dawned on me: why not revamp my 5 Minute Survival Blueprint Course? So, that’s what I’m working on. Aside from updating the month-long…

    Dieting Sucks, But Survival Diets Will Suck More!

    About a month ago, my wife convinced me that we needed to go on a diet. In part to lose weight, but also to adjust our eating habits away from processed foods and, really, all the yummy stuff. Sadly, as we age, I can tell we need to do better with taking care of ourselves…

    Stop Wasting Your Firewood Ash

    Truth be told, I’ve always just dumped my ash behind our garage once it’s cooled. Looks like I should be using it around the house more. Here’s several ways to make use of firewood ash if you’ve been discarding it like I have. FYI, I’ve started the video about five minutes in to get to…

    Scary Wi-Fi Hacking Electronics!

    Worried about your Wi-Fi getting hacked? No? After watching this you should be. Although I’d known some of these nefarious tools existed, I had no idea how easy they are to purchase (often on Amazon for cheap), use (I could probably figure it out), and worst of all… how quickly they can be employed to…
