If you’re any kind of vehicle dweller, or even a camper, you’ve had that journey to the perfect flashlight. You probably start out with mag lights, or the big lights every carpenter/mechanic has laying around. And they work great. They give off lots of light. They might even be handy for stashing valuables. But they’re… Continue reading The best flashlight I've ever had

She said it so well
You know everything I try to say with all the “strippers I have loved” business? Well, it’s all been said perfectly in one paragraph by the Bare Bohemian. Check it out.
Late night with the geese.
I’m running through the woods barefoot in the dark. I am the ground before my feet touch it, so I don’t make any missteps. Running in the dark is really good for my awareness. I don’t look, but I know it when I run past a squirrel in a tree, and when a grouse ducks… Continue reading Late night with the geese.
Ten Lives: a meme
This is the first ever meme on this blog. It was inspired by a message board conversation which started out about what we would do if we had ten lives and morphed into the lives we have had, right in this lifetime. As humans, we tend to seperate different roles we’ve played or different places… Continue reading Ten Lives: a meme
re-thinking it all every day
I have been and still am a seeker, but I have ceased to question stars and books; I have begun to listen to the teachings my blood whispers to me. – Herman Hesse I’m wandering. I’m aimless.

I live in a van…
I so need this shirt:
Alaskans I have loved, v.2
It was a long day and a long drive through the never-ending twilight. The road had turned to bumpy dirt fifty miles ago, and I bumped along squinting through clouds of dust that hung, half-illuminated, in the air. A gulch dipped off to the right of the road, full of green trees cut through with… Continue reading Alaskans I have loved, v.2
I'm in food heaven!
I’ve been canning and smoking and canning and smoking all day and I’m only halfway through the cooler. So far there are: 10 jars of blueberries 5 jars of crowberries 15 jars of ground caribou sausage a bunch of smoking salmon still in progress. I canned the berries in half pint jars, but I could… Continue reading I'm in food heaven!
As the caribou thaws…
I got to leave my meat and fish overnight in someone’s freezer last night and now it’s in my cooler, which is now all souped up with reflectix. I thought the cooler was going to be a pain in the ass to have in the van. When I first set everything up, I didn’t want… Continue reading As the caribou thaws…
Lives all around you, just waiting to be chosen.
“Sit, Bro, sit! Sit! Tara, make him LISTEN!” I’ve gone from small town stripper to big city assistant nanny for a day in sixteen hours flat. “Why should he do what you say?” I ask. Jimmy kicks at the ground, and I can tell he’s thinking about just ignoring me. But he doesn’t. “Cause. He’s… Continue reading Lives all around you, just waiting to be chosen.
