    The journey into the abyss of no return

    I have a bug out bag, but it’s meant for if bullets fly more than fires and such. Now I know I will get one together for me and the wife. Repairs heh, this place is so broke they are having a hard time keeping an ambulance service out here.

    No, just trees and such. My main property is like a fort against wildfire, though there is always the .01% chance that I don’t take.

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    I have to say now I have rested and had time to reflect back on what I just went through with this wildfire. Couple of times it got dicey to the point of dumping water bottles on myself and a blanket I had to keep from burning alive. Ran out of water and had to ditch the blanket since it caught...

    In the middle of all this chaos another pig dropped 12 piglets. I like this mother, she is protective of her babies and very attentive. With that said I can move her as needed just by waiting till she eats, grab the litter, make one squeal and off we go where I need her to go. Looks to be a...

    We won and I managed to help save the community. 560 acre fire, we only lost one camper from someones property to it in which it was abandoned, four properties went up in flames including mine with the water well on it. All is fine at the water well, I put a firebreak around it long before all...

    Been fighting the past 18 hrs wildfires that are hitting here with few thousand feet of my house. Firebreaks before mine that me another dozer and county dozer have been making. I’m actually saving the community literally now. Most run from fires and shootings, I run to them.

    Should I mention the blinding sandstorms too, some days were tan, some pink and one time it looked like Mars. Started off pink, turned orange then red then went black.

    Coffee anyone ?

    Going to be 102°F today. Not too bad, I fought in chemical suits body armor loaded down full battle rattle, helmet and then some on weight in 120°F temperatures while marching across the desert at one time.

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Oh the schit I hear and see out here, no wonder I’m walking over them. I don’t have experience from one area, I have world wide experience several times over. We are really about to blow the top when we start a well drill company out here as the dynasty has ran it all the past 40 plus years with...

    The journey into the abyss of no return

    Yes it's all a mess, you should of seen the place before I started, scattered over 10 acres and it's how she has the place. Blames it on the wind, yet claims where her home (shed) is it's in the perfect spot from the wind 🧐 No it shows you are sloppy. What's really funny is excavating around...

    Coffee anyone ?

    You work 8 hours to live 4. You work 6 days to enjoy 1. You work 8 hours to eat in 15 minutes. You work 8 hours and sleep only 5. You work all year just to get a week or two off. You work all your life to retire in old age. And when it’s all said and done, you’re left wondering… what was it all...
