I am doing very well my friend. School has started again so 3 days a week I attend lectures and the rest of the time I work with several professors in the department helping to tutor and grade tests. Time not taken up with those activities is spent researching and working on the first draft of my thesis.

Growing, I am most likely down to one plant now as the second seems to most likely be a true hermi. This is ok though, as my needs are simple. I plan on using most of what I get to provide for my Aunt who suffers from MS and seems to get great relief from cannabis, and to see if a tincture will be able to finally get hold of the staff infection and cellulitus my father has been suffering with for the last 5 years. I am very hopeful that my little hobby here is going to be able to do some real good, and this makes me happy.

Thanks for starting a friendly chat thread. There is a lot of anger on some of these threads.

I have land surrounded by the National Forest. I spend most of my summer evenings in front of a huge camp fire watching the stars and smoking a fatty.:smokin: I don't have any structure so I sleep in a tent. It is a little tough at my age but I do have a composting toilet so I don't have to squat in the woods. Hopefully I will have a liveable cabin/shack by the end of this summer.

I like growing Blue Dream and Sour Diesel the best for now but I usually try about 20 different new strains each summer. Cheese, Querkle, Pure Kush, Head Band and Mendocino Purple are also on my A list.

This year I am going to try Chernobyl which I already have started in my veg box as well as UK Cheese and Jack Herrer. Let us know what your growing and if you have any special favorite types.

My property is pretty nice 120 acres with National Forest on two sides. I hunt mountain quail, ruffled grouse, blue grouse, wild turkeys deer and wild pigs inside of our common gate. If I get a chance I will go after a marauding bear as well.

Ever heard of the Flying Dutchman? :eek:

Um nope my friend those pilgrem got plains now?

BWD

[BlueBlazer]

Well, they have Amsterdam . . . but that's not what I meant. :S2:

[BlueBlazer]

From our friends at Wikipedia:


The legend of the Flying Dutchman concerns a ghost ship that can never make port, doomed to sail the oceans forever. It probably originates from 17th century nautical folklore. The oldest extant version dates to the late 18th century.

Sightings in the 19th and 20th centuries report the ship to be glowing with ghostly light. It is said that if hailed by another ship, its crew will try to send messages to land or to people long dead. In ocean lore, the sight of this phantom ship is a portent of doom.

Hey BWD,
I gotta tell ya, everytime I come on this site, I usually go to the "Today's Post's" to check out whats up. I always check out what all my friends have to say and your's is no exception. I guess it's because you remind me of a really good friend I met in Florida many, many moons ago.

We both rode Harley's and did tattoo's back then. We did our fair share of biker bars, beer, babes, and generaly causing chaos everywhere we went. I guess you could say we were "independant 1%ers" back then. Hell, I'm still amazed we made it thru all that, alive!
We eventually moved on and went our separate way's only to meet back up a few years later in Denver.
We used to do a lot of snow camping in the middle of the winter and we got really good at survivalist skills. When our storebought grub would run out, we would live off the land by fishing, & hunting elk or squirrels. We made some great Elk jerky and even mixed it with berries to make pemmican. We both felt like we were born about 150 years too late!
We used to plan about packing up some horses and mules, and staying in the Rockies for months at a time. But unfortunatly we never got the chance.
We parted ways again, and I lost track of my good friend for about 13 years. I thought about him a lot over the years, and with all of the legalization that's been going on in Colorado the last couple of years, I was certain that he was somehow involved with it in one way or another.
Sure enough, I was right!
Just recently I found my good friend on facebook (of all places) LOL. He still lives in Denver, still rides his LowBoy, and of course, he grows medicinal MMJ for several dispensaries.:thumbsup:
Damn, I miss the good old days!:cool::smokin:

I will update this thread when I can but my property is all the way off the grid so no updates while there. I get FM radio and a satellite phone works but I can't afford one yet. I do grow a mean variety of outdoor plants on the property. Still searching for the elusive best high combined with the best taste after curing when grown outdoors. That is why I keep trying so many varieties.

My daughter lived on the property and went to college last winter until she got snowed out. Last winter was big in Cal with lots of snow. The road to the property was impassible for about a month. Prop is at 2400 to 2700 feet in elavation but have to go over 4000 feet elevation to get in and that is where we get stuck. When I move in permanently I will get a snowmobile or snowcat for winter travel. Maybe even my own snow plow. I have a 1952 KW truck with a 4000 gallon tank I could probably put a plow on.

I got my son started hunting and now he can't get enough. Like a video game come to real life. Nice to see any of my kids can start a nice campfire and spend several nights camping in the snow and still be comfortable and have fun.

Since we are on private land we can make as big a campfire or bonfire as we want. We will still be in trouble if we start a forest fire so we are very careful. There are left over hardwood log piles from previous logging operations that we are trying to get rid of. So plenty of firewood sitting with a new supply all the time. Hope your stayin warm. I will let you know the progress on our cabin.

It definitely grounds the kids to be familiar and comfortable with the outdoors.

My land is in the middle of the National Forest and we estimate that we have about 1 million trees including fir, pines, oak, madrone and more. We can't sell our logs and we don't want to but we can use all we want for building on our own property. My first cabin will be small. I am planning on getting at least an Alaska mill to cut planks and would eventually like to get a Lucas mill and make some serious lumber for a major cabin. I should be able to get the post and pile floor started this spring but when growing season starts most of my time is dedicated to that.

Most of the summer I am alone on my land so my plants keep me thoroughly busy. It is honest work and does keep me in great shape. Just having to camp all the time is work with chopping firewood, cooking and cleaning and such. But I should be able to complete the cabin by early summer. I will send pics later this spring.
