Out of nowhere, a severe tooth infection has me down currently.

This has definitely delayed a planned video for the Axe head I am making.

Again, I am sorry I haven't brought the promised content yet.

Will be resuming whenever this infection is dealt with.

For now, entertain me, or tag me in videos you found important via the comment sections use the @symbol

Today is an rnr day. So I've been getting caught up on nutrition, and studying the map for a camping trip I do want to plan. However I also wanted to go see my friend in Nashville, but decided to call that off because the route of travel is expensive, and I'm an introvert. I don't like crowded vehicles, and I don't have much of a budget. I completely avoid greyhounds as they have gotten dangerous for me to travel on, and due to situations in airports nowadays, I won't be taking a flight.

I'm looking at a section of the AT that is about 22 or more miles from me, but I must go there myself to make sure it's not heavily trafficked, camping isn't free in Pennsylvania 😢 but I'm looking past the law, like I did in Texas.

Hello once more everyone,

Due to the new meds making me tired I will cancel the secondary short video to the crossbow I am working on.

So far here is a prototype of a fixed kabab arrow. Roughly put together for test firing.

I'll return in the next day or two with results.

Here's something for your urban, or wilderness foraging expeditions.

There is way more information on this plant and has more than a few uses.

It also has tea and antiinflammatory uses.

All said and done, you can find more information from a trusted botanical information source site.

Yeah my back hasn't been feeling all that great lately either.
One of my friends suggested I try to get to a doctor to see what is going on. Not my proudest thing to do, I grew up having surgeries with my arms and the leg got obliterated in 2006, I managed to do just fine since recovering from those. My back has been giving me issues longer than it used to. By this point, the pain has last for almost two weeks.

The good news is, I attended a birthday party today for a friend, and tried out a nice plate of food normally made way over in the east out of the United States. It was good and I don't often hang out with people, but I enjoyed it given the circumstances I'm having right now.

I was in a bit of pain when I took this photo two days ago, but I wanted a self picture, I don't often take self pictures, sometimes I will.

Today I post it, and an update to the current situation. And inform you all that I intend to keep good things coming to this channel.

It's a hobby for me, but I also have a purpose. I want people to find joy in the outdoor world, even if it's just touching grass or watching birds from afar.

Or to provide something outdoorsy for those who can't go outside too often.

If it brings you enjoyment it brings me happiness.

Hey all, the video plan for today has to be cancelled, I'm having body aches from some really old injuries I had as a younger person, and I was also unaware that it is a friends birthday today.

Don't worry tho, that video is still planned. I just need the aches to go away.

However in the meantime you can throw a few suggestions for live streaming my hobbies. So type away.

The soybeans are starting to sprout, the bonsai given to me is looking healthy, the day lily tubers are doing a good thing, and the other plant is Lily's I pulled out of the ground nearby. The vine is something that I saved.

So far these are my babies. I never grew soybeans before, so I'm seeing how I do with that this year.

Using a wood mallet, a small stone harder than the rock I'm working, some water to absorb shock from the tool, I think I found a possible pecking method that ancient may have used to get the grooves into a stone celt for installing a sturdy handle. I finished one side today, because it was a warm day, and I drove everywhere on the bike around noon to go get things and some groceries, and some plant tubers out of deperot woods. If I had an efficient way to edit videos I would show the entire work in broken down clips. I may need to find a friend who can edit videos.

I can do a lot of the primitive stuff. Half of it is experimental archeology, because I want to try to discover other possible ways things back then could be made.

Do I have any viewer's here who can edit videos? I can send my video clips via email. I don't have much money, but I can guarantee no less than 15 Washingtons and a max of 25 Washingtons for edit. I'm not asking for professional work, just making a good long video for me to upload once in a while. I live with people now, so I have little time to finish some of these projects. This was a rock I started on last year, and starting working on it again this morning.

I have one more side to groove. I'm not gonna make deep Grooves tho. Because this stone head is likely to break if I go too thin. It's a processing axe. Not really used for falling trees, but capable of dropping a sapling as good as any hatchet could. This one require more maintaining of the stone edge. Something you don't have to do as often with a regular hatchet.

Japanese miso soup, with cherubs, spinach, and lime juice in it. Soften the spinach and cherubs on the last minute of cooking. Keep soup liquids in it. This doesn't taste good without the soup and flavorings I added.

I've been trying to eat a diet based on my AB blood type. 3 months in, I wake up tired, but a bit more energized lately without the use of coffee or junked foods.

Sorry for not really posting anything lately.

I'm a very busy person from time to time, often making time for others.

This summer I have a plan. And I need my friends to be okay with me going on a random long term camping trip.

First sign of concern makes me cancel everything and try again later.

Just like my issue with vocal surgery approval and laser therapy for facial hair. Also part of that is, because I don't like making phone calls, or answer the same questions. And I need a lot of help with that.

Too embarrassed to say why as it is a deep personal issue I have. Hince the reason I don't really talk correctly on some of my videos. My head says the voice is static and I have to struggle to get information out sometimes.

A friend of mine down in Nashville TN doesn't know it, but made my day very much worth calling a day.
Mel helps local families and homeless people reconnect, she also goes out her way to be a friend for many of the people down there.

She was having a hard day today so I commented on her reel on Instagram to try and cheer her up if I could.

Her reply reminded me that I once did do a few good things while I was in TN.

Thank you Mel

You were there for me, and what are friends if they aren't there for each other?
