Lets get this boosted. Like and retweet.

I am not a machine.

I don't VERIFY myself to ANYONE except my bank.

In the world to come, I will be a sage of orienteering.

I can still read EMP-proof paper maps!

GPS is for ID10ts.

Besides, every time I've ridden with someone using GPS, it has screwed them up & taken them somewhere way different.

I figure, it's just easier to abide by 2 rules.

Know where you're going.

Know how to get there.

The rest is just exercise.

LOL

If you've ever ridden on a trail drive, the same thing.

Montana is HEWGE & the sky is like an ocean.

You know where you are by the season & what you're looking at.

The VERY IDEA that they think they can cause us all to conform to living THEIR way is laughable... if it weren't so pathetic.

I have EVERYTHING material I really need right now!

Husband, home, land, well, fireplace & 13 snaggy oaks that serve up firewood after every storm...
Well-stocked pantry
Dogs that bark if the guy across the road 1/4 mile away is in his yard
Bacon on the hoof, soon to be joined by Nubian goats for milk & Bobwhite quail...
My 50 x 50 in-ground garden & 3 4 x 20 raised beds

A narrow lane entry makes a perfect "choke point"
Pasture trees are outfitted with reflective numbers only WE can see & motion-activated solar-powered flood lights
3 of the obligatory No Trespassing signs, 2 of them humorous

A network of neighbors, all Trump supporters, who are keeping an eye on things & each other!

And we ALL have GOD to connect us!

Amen! Preach on!

In 2010, after the bullshit oil spill in the GOM, hubs & I sold everything & moved to Uruguay.

We built an off-grid house using nothing but hand tools & a ladder we built ourselves, LOL.

We had to haul our water & compost our toilet, but it was no dramas.

I learned that my homemade soap in my old bath water really helps a garden grow!

We had propane stove/oven, a quematuti (wood burning stove), and our water went into a 3gal bucket suspended over the kitchen sink, with a sink sprayer mounted on the bottom of the bucket, LOL.

Worked for doing dishes & for washing hair, LOL.

Used it for showers many times while standing in my little "kiddie pool" sized wash tub.

Our laundry never was cleaner than when I did it by hand...

We used eucalyptus trees for our uprights & our nearest neighbor had a sawmill business!

We don't have it anymore...

When GHWB was executed, we knew it was underway, so we came back for the fight!

Time came when Hubs was either gonna die of stress or leave with me... No electrics is so peaceful! Birds & projects... Food to grow, etc.

For me, the hard part was making our own soil. When we got there, there was no grass. We had maybe 1/2" char from a fire 5 years back & sand underneath.

We had to crush egg shells, charcoal, and carry untold numbers of buckets of horse muffins we'd scavenge (free-grazing in Uruguay; you don't want them, fence them OUT). Near the end, I was walking 1/2 mile to find them, LOL!

We grew the first year in 75% horse manure, 10% sand, & the rest of the mix you see, plus compost from our veggie scraps...

LMAO!!!

We're cut from the same cloth, we are!

I really would like to meet you when you come back to our beloved South!

I'm just a tad north of Mobile, if you're passing through...

BTW, many good deals on properties right here around us, if you're game.

And yes, every other Sunday we make the drive over to Red Hill Spring to haul our drinking water. The world is in church, so no waiting!

Does get a bit chilly in winter, depending on the wind, but I've waded in the ocean off Smithton, Tasmania in winter, on glassy sharp basalt to gather oysters & crabs, so Alabama winter ain't no thang!
