Hello fellow adventurers! Sometimes (more than sometimes) it's just boring stuff that has to get done. Building walls. Running cables. Fetching supplies...I'm hoping episodes like this can be valuable to folks nonetheless.
We'll be having adventures again soon enough. If there's any hope of moving onto the barge this fall/winter...got to keep at it.
Can Wavey send you a handcrafted post card? Or some Lake Superior finds and treasures?

Somehow we made it!....Somehow YOU made it!!
With my bad editing curve and lack of microphone interviews. I hope to someday make a proper adventure series, applying everything I learned on this adventure. If I do it again, I hope to have more than the beagle for company.
I hope this series inspired you to do something like this adventure. An old bumper sticker I use to see growing up comes to mind: I love my country, but fear my government"
That's America to me. God bless you and please...stay in touch. --Back Waters Brenton

Howdy fellow adventurers, So we finally made it to Stannard Rock--but we didn't make it up inside (this time). I go into more detail in a supplementary unlisted video (linked below)...basically I have a well developed fear of heights (we all have something)
MAYBE it was rational this time...rusty ladders covered in seagull crap, with nothing but my boat to break the fall. But!...I'm going to get up there, this summer, if it's the last thing I do. A good friend is visiting the entire month of September--he should be more encouraging than a spoiled useless beagle.

I really did it :) I rode a 49cc scooter almost all the way home....in winter! Just in time for Christmas. Watching this a year later, part of me can't believe it...part of me wants to do it again :)
Thanks for watching eh!

Sometimes all there is to do in the winter is go for a walk and think 'bout stuff. I turned the phone on and tried to capture something worth listening to. The key points I was trying to get at (key word "trying") were:
1: Cold weather, from the perspective of a born and bred warm weather person.
2: Localization. It's going to happen whether we want it to or not.
3: This is not your average "societal change" happening...prepare accordingly.
I've got some less snowy video surprises coming your way next week. I've had enough sub-zero for THIS winter. Please stay tuned...

Howdy fellow adventurers, I'm working on a really good solar install video (with footage for the first overnight on the barge) hoping this little vignette will keep you interested--still might be a couple days.

The beagle and I finally get out on the big lake and see how "The Mother Ship" handles big water. I think it went pretty well. Another shanty boat build is coming spring and summer 2020. "The Super Shanty Boat Beagle Build" Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6_YXESjnXY&t=166s
