Small World

Funny how small the world is...I was at a friends gun shop the other day and we started talking survival blogs...guess who came up? Falia Photography (the link to her latest post is in the title). We were both surprised that we had been following her blog for sometime. For those of you who are not aware of Falia, she is a vandweller and firearms newbie who posts some awesome stuff on everyday things like shooting, survival, living in her VW, and prepping. While those may not be everyday for some, for others it's a part of our daily life. Anyway, the conversation turned to how small the world has gotten with the internet and instant access to news and events around the world. Where once "Friending" someone meant meeting them personally, interacting with them on a physical basis, now it has opened up to "knowing" people on line through their personal blogs, threads on web forums, and emails. The funny thing is, I have friends who I speak with less than some people I interact on line with!

Someday I hope to meet Falia and get her in a MilCopp Tactical course--I keep trying through emails and blogs posts--maybe one day, we will actually meet.

Until we do, I am looking forward to "Keeping in touch" with her and others in the ether.

Story Blog

So I've posted the first chapter of a story I started a while ago--The Mountain. It's a rambling piece of fiction about a guy living in a cabin. It's kind of a survival story. At least, that's where it's supposed to be going! Enjoy the story.

I'm also going to be posting "Jack Roy", another SHTF story as well. Jack Roy is more adventure than "The Mountain" and I think Jack Roy is a little more fun to write.

Neither one is finished. But they are good reads. The Mountain is almost 100,000 words and I'm just getting into the SHTF part.
