CT Shooting Fraud

Where to start? It looks like our communist government will go to no limit to disarm the american people, including massacring children. The whole CT shooting stinks of inconsistencies in the stories and lies. The entire thing looks to be fabricated to give the muslim extremists in DC an excuse to try and disarm the american people. Not good. Genocide always follows gun confiscation. A civil war is brewing, mark my words.

We went snowboarding and skiing with the school last week. Lots of fun and only 2 kids got hurt. Last year, they were dropping like flies. Today Michael, Abbey, Monica and I shot some pistols out back. It was Abbeys first time.

All 3 goats are bred, so we'll see how many babies we get in the spring. Hopefully 6, that would be cool. And lots of goat milk if all 3 kid out.

So I try and learn something new every night. I have been researching nutrition and body ph and raw food diets and cancer cures. It really seems as though cancer can be prevented and cured with juicing and eating properly. The american food chain and diets are just so BADDDDD. I think if you eat NATURAL occuring food, you will be healthy as can be. We are going to cut out as much processed food and junk as we can without creating a rebellion from the kids.

I have read a lot of good books recently, most of which have been dystopian. Divergent series, Matched series, Maze Runner series. All great books and examples of what happens when elitist governments go wrong. I guess Atlas Shrugged was the original dystopian book.

It has been chilly this month. About 3 inches of snow on the ground now. It is nice when the sun comes out.

Winter has Arrived

Well, winter is here so I am not getting to work on the great wall of stevi much. The sun is out today, so I may get a couple of hours in. I am on the 4th layer and figuring out how to tie cross ties all the way through. This is critical to maintaining the integrity of the entire structure.

Just got back from Minnesota where I spent time working with some great people. I learned a few things too. We ate some great food including a rabbit pasta dish that was world class. I have to figure out how to make it. Oh, and I got to fly first class on the way back. My first time ever flying first class.

We butchered our boy goat Zelda. Thanks to Megan and Olin for helping do that and teaching us. We were all pleasantly surprised at how good the goat meat was. The only negative was that there was not nearly as much meat on him as you would have thought.

We have played some awesome games of rummy at the ravencrofts. We've introduced some variations that make for a lively game.

We are still trying to figure out how to get to New Zealand. It looks like one of the better places in the world to live and work. Worst case, I'll go there and pick grapes during the day and work on my sites at night.

It is truly amazing how illogical and backwards the US is becoming. Our muslim president and all his cronies in congress march around with armed guards, yet they won't let teachers arm themselves to defend innocent children. What hypocrisy. They look for every excuse to ban guns in america so they can start massacring people like hitler did. I have given up hope that americans will ever wake up. They'll continue accepting their handouts like slaves until the handouts run out and everyone starves to death and millions get murdered from hussein and his hoodlums.

Thanksgiving 2012

Another busy month in the Kampel house. Getting ready for winter, cutting wood, building shelters, painting shelters, building wind breaks, digging ponds and a stream for the ducks, building the great wall of stevi and more. It is never ending.

Vanilla and Oreo were bred, so we'll have more goats and milk in a few months. Mia might be pregnant, we are not sure yet since George was barely old enough.

This was a pretty sad month in American history when more than half of americans have become total losers and live off the government tit. For a loser like hussein to get reelected, it speaks volumes of how sad america has become. It is only downhill from here. I bet George Washington is rolling in his grave.

We are trying to move to New Zealand or Chile, but still a lot of unknowns. They both look like paradise.

St Pierre vs Condit was one of the greatest fights of all time.

I have 2 layers on the great wall of stevi done 25 feet out from the corner. It is going slower than I expected, but it is enjoyable and I am proud of it. One of my future projects will be stone trees. We picked up a forge for free, so I'll have to get that fired up this winter and shape some steel.

Winter 2013 is Coming

Woohhhh, the last month has been a blurrr. Monica went to atlanta for 2 weeks to visit her sisters. So I had to school the kids and do everything else. Wyatt and Abbey are frustrating me in that they don't do the work I give them. I allow them the freedom to choose certain things, but give them a few things specifically. They are way behind on their history book. Time to woop some butt.

Joe came out for a week and we started on the Great Wall of Stevi. It is going to be awesome. Glad I waited for Joe as he taught me a lot while he was here. I wish he could have stayed longer. So I am going to keep building the wall on my own until some better masons come out. I'd like to build a big arch entryway, but that is beyond me at this point.

Jak started back on his reading lessons last night after a 2 month hiatus. That is how busy I have been.

I also build a little hay barn and painted it green. Hay is a hot commodity this winter after the severe drought throughout the US this year. It ought to wreak havoc in the beef and livestock market this winter.

Oh, and a Korean singer became a huge hit in America. Opa Gangnam style.

Ford F600 2 Ton Flatbed

I can't believe it has been 6 weeks since my last post. What a busy summer. Since my stone mason class, I have been collecting rocks for a big wall we are building here. It is going to be free standing at 4 feet high. I bought a 1959 Ford F600 2 Ton Flatbed the other day for getting rocks. Don and I mounted a little electric hoist on the back which can lift about 1000 lb rocks. Really cool. We have 20 loads of rock now and are waiting for my friend from KY to get out here before we start building the wall.

The smoke in the valley this summer has been awful. Raging forest fires everywhere have burnt hundreds of thousands of acres. The forest service is a bunch of idiots, to say the least. Very poorly managed.

Mikey is back in school. Abs and Wyatt wanted to homeschool this year, so they are at home. They have been helping me get rocks as their PE class. Ha, ha. They are reading history, doing spanish, learning sign language, math on Khan Academy, and watching science videos on khan academy.

We have rebuilt all of our chicken and duck coops. Still need to finish some stuff in the pasture for winter. We picked up some white peking ducks. They are not laying eggs, so we will probably eat them. They are giant with lots of meat. The boys and I have gotten plenty of wood for the winter. Monica is almost finished with her rocking chair. It is beautiful. Winter is coming.

Oh, and we found one of my favorite places in the world. Took the kids camping there last weekend. Very remote on a lake. Mikey killed birds for dinner. Lots of fun.

Stone Mason and Blacksmith Class

July was crazy. 11 great dane puppies. What a handful.

I spent a week learning to build stuff with stone. I really enjoyed that. I am starting to gather rocks for a big wall I am building at the house here. Mac and his wife were 2 amazing people. They even started their own school in VA 30 years ago. Just great people. For anyone interested, here are their sites.

Witness Tree Studio

Charles Mcraven

The following week was a week of blacksmithing. I learned a lot. Wyatt came with me and had a blast. He really wants me to get a forge now. We used coal and gas forges and made some knives, tongs, swords, and other stuff.

Anyway, just got back from the ATL. Not much has changed there. Drew and Mel built a beautiful barn and I hung out with Max and Emma a good bit. I should have booked for 2 more days, but hindsight is 20/20.

We are drinking goat milk regularly now. 1 goat puts off a lot of milk. Although they are a pain in the ass sometimes.

Utah 2012

Took the kids down to Utah for a few days. We hit Zion and hiked the virgin narrows a couple of times. What a great hike through the water and 1000 ft walls. Definitely one of the top hikes in the world. Next time we need to go up to Kolob canyon, I heard that is good. We camped at Coral Pink sand dunes again. What a beautiful place that is.

We then headed to Bryce canyon which was my first time there. It is quite beautiful, but very touristy. We did the Queen garden hike and down at the bottom some kids had made hundreds of rock cairns everywhere, even in the trees. It was very cool and creative. Kodachrome state park was a great camp spot as well.

We'll have to go to capitol reef one day. Paul said it had fruit trees growing everywhere from an old settlement.

After that we hit Bryan Head which is a neat little town up in the mountains. It was a nice break from the heat. We then stopped to pick up our new yorkie George and headed to park city for a day. Quite a nice ski resort town and lots of activities at the olympic mountain like ziplines, bobsleds, and downhills into the water. We'll probably head back there one day.

So after days of intense desert heat and sunny skies, we hit a massive hail storm on the way back in montana. It was deafening in the car for about 20 miles. I had to slow down to 15 mph on the highway. Most cars had pulled over. Crazy weather here.

Potatoes are looking great, but everything else in the garden is so so. The beans are looking decent. Tomatoes are starting to come up but I may have planted them too late.
