Everyone who has ever wanted some land has looked at what is often called "junk land" in the Texas desert. It does offer freedom but this video shows how it can be rewarding but also extremely challenging.
Seven years ago John Wells sold his heavily-mortgaged home in upstate New York and bought 40 acres in West Texas for $8000. The area (Brewster County) is so isolated there are no codes or zoning restrictions so Wells built his own tiny home (in 9 days with $1600) relying on his set-building experience.
Not wanting to rely on outside labor, Wells has continued to build his own services: a solar shower, a basic composting toilet, a bike-powered washing machine, an Airstream guest house, and a huge greenhouse which also houses 4 shipping containers he hopes to convert to housing/office space.
Wells named his homestead (now 40 acres, he bought a second 20 acres for $500) the Field Lab (short for “Southwest Texas Alternative Energy and Sustainable Living Field Laboratory”) and he likes to experiment with off-grid solutions: one of his latest is a more-powerful solar oven.

Many small local businesses can benefit from a simple online presence. It doesn’t have to be expensive and it is pretty easy to set up. Today we discuss what to do and what not to do.
Why you should NEVER use a site builder, what you should think about with your domain and why if you are not using WordPress sorry but you are wrong.
I also tell you how to easily build a portfolio of your work and even how to make your site part of your sales process even in the real brick and mortar world.
Note – If you want to ask a question for a future Episode of Miyagi Mornings the best thing to do is follow me on MeWe here and then see the sticky post at the top of my profile, post your question in the comments and it is pretty likely I will at some point cover it. http://mewe.com/i/jackspirko

In this second of a two part video series on a review of the Crosman 1377 Penumatic Air Pistol, Jack from The Survival Podcast (http://www.thesurvivalpodcast.com) performs a series of shots on water filled bottles with replays in slow motion.
The first shot is done with a Beeman RS2 Series Air Rile at 1000 fps to form a baseline of top end air gun performance.
Then the following three shots are taken with the Crosman 1377 Air Gun
4 Pumps -- About 390 FSP
6 Pumps -- About 450 FPS
10 Pumps -- About 510 FPS
This pistol has proven more than accurate enough to take small game at 30-45 feet in range. It has adequate knock down power with good shot placement on game up to the size of smaller rabbits and squirrels. I would only use it on Jack Rabbits as a last resort though. Shooting anything much larger with it would be unethical as it simply doesn't have the power to perform.
The only real downside to this gun is the rear site which can come loose and move on you. Mandatory modification would include using some locktite on the rear sites vertical screw adjustment. Other than that it is a fine gun for its intended purpose and preppers will love the fact that as a pneumatic no CO2 cartridges are required. 500 pellets are cheap and give you a lot of shooting. Whether you are hunting small game in the bush, controlling pests in the back yard or training a new shooter this is a great gun.
You can get this gun at Amazon.com for about 56 dollars; I found mine on sale at Academy Sports and Outdoors for about 35 dollars. If you choose to buy this gun online consider using my link to do so, http://www.bit.ly/crossman-1377
