Where I've been, I am; going
Guess I'm a bit over extended lately on three main projects each one of which could be (will be) expanded in to many posts. Part of the reason I have not posted in a while is I'm trying to avoid too many posts that use the "I" letter, yet at some point one has to update the machine lest it go obsolete. So here is an update that is likely to provide more benefit to the author then the reader. It's basically about me an I'll be able to read it in a week or so to see just how far off the tracks I've gone...and I hit the road next week...
In Persuit of Solitude in the East
Every time I leave a class at the tracker school I always say to myself that I'm going straight to the woods to tryout what I've learned. Usually I get back to civilization and work one thing leads to another and days or even weeks go by before I can find the time to work on some skill much less spend a few days in the wilderness. Of course my circumstance has changed so I thought I'd actually spend some time and concentration trying to find a decent stretch of woods in the New Jersey area.
From Wisconsin
Just finished up the traditional ways gathering. Was a good time, I’ll add a post about it soon. I was able to, among other things, finish up my...
May Travels
Left Georgia and headed North East to New Jersey, back to the Tracker School this time to help out with the standard class. I had about a week before the class started so I decided to head to North Carolina and maybe hike the Smoky Mountains. I drove straight to Gatlinburg TN and got a room. May is a great time to find cheap rooms in Gatlinburg; I got a nice room with a balcony...

Think of the many articles one can find every year in the Wall Street Journal describing some entrepreneur or businessmen as being a “pioneer” or a “maverick” or a “cowboy.” Think of the many times these ambitious modern men are described as “staking their claim” or boldly pushing themselves...
The Dirt On Earthskills Rendezvous
Spent the last week of April attending the earthskills rendezvous. These folks actually do two gatherings, the Spring gathering is known as the Rivercane Rendezvous and the Fall gathering is the Falling Leafs Rendezvous. Information for both events can be found at...
Sea Eagle Review Part 2: Sail Kit
Another installment on my reviews of the sea eagle 380x kayak (with new video), this time using the sailboats to go sail kit because the only thing cooler then having a kayak in the trunk is having a sailboat in the trunk of the car.
Sea Eagle 380x Kayak Review (part 1)

Staying in Florida for April
Back in Sarasota. Spent about two weeks with the Rainbow Family gathering in Apalachicola State Forest. Pretty mellow gathering. I picked up a friend in Gainsville and we made it to the gathering after dark around 9pm. It was raining on and off all evening so I decided to find a spot and get set up as soon as I arrived. Trying to find a spot in the dark can be a bit challenging but I...
