This is to answer an email I received recently about what sorts of posts are allowed on the group. The message goes like this: “ Is it ok to share videos from other creators for critique and discussion? What is the criteria for things we should or shouldn't share. Do you want us to keep it topical or is it ok to talk about other things? I just don't want to cause any trouble or make any mistakes.”
My attitude is it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission. I picked this platform so that folks could enjoy complete free speech - meaning anything that’s legal to talk about. I was so sick and tired of the major platforms and their disgusting censorship actions. I’m a 50-year-old red-blooded American man. It is absolutely, indisputably unacceptable for a bunch of pansy computer nerds out there deciding what I’m allowed to talk about or not talk about. I bet a lot of you feel that way, too.
So go ahead and talk about and share anything you want here in our group. As long as it’s legal to discuss and you’re not spamming the place up, I’ll be ok with it. I don’t have to agree with it, but I support your inherent right to talk about whatever you want to talk about.
Hoping to have a show about cots uploaded before the weekend.
I love cots. It’s a shame most of them can’t make the trip into genuine wilderness, because they provide my favorite sleeping experience. But even the really “light” and compact ones ain’t light enough or compact enough to carry 30 miles up and down mountains when there are other, more-important things that have to be included in a pack.
Still, I love them, and I’m looking forward to showing several different types off. One in particular makes my favorites list.
Also, I was competing with the locusts (cicadas). Daggaum, one in particular was trying to drown me out tonight. Here’s a little taste to hold y’all over.

Please forgive me, folks. There’s just no way I can manage to fit in a livestream today. My day is just jam packed with other obligations. Life should be a little calmer for me next weekend.
In the meantime, here’s a detailed map of a portion of the Appalachian Trail in Pennsylvania for those who are interested. It covers the portion(from right to left) between road PA 309 to the town of Port Clinton. I reckon it’s about 30 miles or so. Beautiful in late September when I originally did it.
