So, I'm trying to reach the Eastern audiences. I realize this is early for the US, but a man's gotta do what he can to survive. So, my streams will also need to be moved toward the weekend as there are more people online.
I'll be doing popups possibly in the evenings if I am camping or something during that time.

What’s the fuss between ultralight and traditional backpacking gear?
Whether you’re a "comfort first" hiker who loves a camp chair and a thick pillow, or a "miles first" minimalist cutting the handle off your toothbrush, choosing a style changes how you experience the trail.
Traditional setups are reliable and cozy at camp, while ultralight kits let you fly through the miles with less strain on your joints. Not sure where you land? We broke down the base weights, the "Big Three" essentials, and the mindset shifts you need to find your perfect balance.
Check out the full guide to see which setup fits your next adventure. Happy trails!

That’s the truth. I get on social media and see people in crazy disarray. I could care less anyone’s background…a hungry person is a hungry person. I’m gonna help however I can and we can be human without supporting ideals. Anyway I think I should get back offline haha

2026-03-08 04:20:42 UTC

What are you living for?
That’s the question.
If it’s for ideals, power (big or small), and governments (including parties), you’ve lost already.
So many people have made their politics god and will die to that.
People matter. Not this kind or that kind but people minus the descriptor.

Healing isn’t always a straight line, but it’s easier to navigate under an open sky. After breaking my back in four places, I had to rediscover joy one step at a time. Whether it’s the "soft fascination" of a desert superbloom or the quiet companionship of a dog in the pines, nature has a unique way of grounding our nervous systems and quieting the noise.

Go Wordpress with Kadence themes. I believe they have an AI feature that can help you get what you want as well. But overall Kadence is updated quite often and easy to work with. There is a learning curve if you’ve never done Wordpress before. I’m also talking about using a Wordpress installation and not hosting with Wordpress. I’d never use them. You lose freedom. There are several self-hosting options but if you’re tech save and can follow instructions fairly well this is all doable on your own. Again a learning curve but very doable. Other things you want to research are plugins. Don’t just start adding plugins if you go that route. You can easily make a website like the one you posted.

It’s a diesel heater and the video didn’t end up posting. So I guess from now on I won’t do native uploads ever on Nostr. This happens too much with native uploads.

Be chill.
Serene in the hush of nature’s depth.
Be like a dragonfly.
