**Hey Again, Steemitizens!**

People keep commenting on my "off-grid" home that is mentioned in my site profile here on steemit.com.

I honestly used to document a lot, but "got over it" some time back and made less video and have taken less photos recently than I used to do all the time.

I'll start dredging up the old stuff and catch up to now over time, then produce new materials going forward. There appears to be an interested audience here in off-grid'ing, sustainable living, livestock, farming, and all that survival, prepper stuff around here. 

Whew. I'll try to find the time but I also own a software company and try contribute here as much as I can as well.

Here are some conveniently shareable old photos, and videos from the last year or so on my land, and one from the very first weekend I got the place 4 years ago as well. (the one about cutting the trail).

None of these do the beauty of the place, or show the highest view on the land but they will get you started. Consider them a sneak peek of a smorgasbord of Blue Ridge mountain goodness to come, in the hours and days and years ahead!

**This last video for now, is a tiny little documentary, accompanied by my own background music soundtrack, which I composed and arranged and produced myself.  I this film about my cutting of a steep, rugged trail up to a big old tall Hemlock Tree in a corner of my 17 acres on a mountain side, solo, with nothing but a machete and time, on the very first full Saturday I spent on the land on the weekend after I signed the land deal with the seller. Stay to the end for pics of the injury I got on my face, tooo close to my eye for comfort, when a limb spring whipped my face.**

There will be plenty more of this to come. I've got a of "back-catalog" of this stuff to share, and a lot of future stuff to do and document here! Stay tuned!

*And with that, this post is over!*

**Full Steem Ahead, Steemitizens!**
