I really don’t like constantly promoting my books, the Appalachian Freedom Files, my Quit the Rat Race course, merch, memberships, and everything else. I’d rather just make videos, talk about what I’m seeing, and share my thoughts with folks who actually want to hear them. But it looks like YouTube has changed something again, because […]

Have Americans lost the right to be left alone? In this video, I talk about freedom in America, government overreach, federal and state regulations, property rights, civil asset forfeiture, and why questioning the government is not anti-American — it’s exactly what free people are supposed to do. If you’ve ever felt like the government has […]

YouTube seems to be playing games again. I posted a new video today called “America Is Being Looted Before the Collapse,” and the people who are actually seeing it are responding well. Good click-through rate, good watch time, good engagement — but YouTube doesn’t seem too interested in showing it to many people. Imagine that. […]

I only have 34 Appalachian Freedom Files thumb drives left. Once these are gone, I’m not sure when — or if — I’ll have more made, so now is the time to order if you want one. Each drive is loaded with a large collection of preparedness, self-reliance, and old-school practical knowledge files that you […]

I put up a video today that I think some folks need to hear. It’s about something most people don’t realize until they’re older — and by then, a lot of doors have already closed. I’m not going to explain it all here. Watch it and think about it for yourself. Click here to watch […]

I just posted a new video talking about something I think a lot of people are not paying enough attention to — the massive push for AI data centers, digital surveillance, and the loss of privacy. These data centers are being sold to the public as jobs, progress, and the future. But I don’t think […]

Hey folks, I’ve been going back through some older videos and updating the titles, descriptions, and thumbnails so they’re easier to find. These are a few practical videos that a lot of people have found useful — especially if you’re interested in rural living, cheap home security, simple living, old-school gear, and common-sense independence… Can […]

I just posted a new video from here in Appalachia about what I believe may be one of the most dangerous things we deal with outdoors — and it’s not snakes, bears, or anything most people would guess. Ticks are getting bad, and they can carry some serious illnesses. In this video, I talk about […]

I just posted a new video over on YouTube, and I think this is one a lot of people are going to relate to. It feels like folks are on edge everywhere lately — on the road, in stores, at work, and just out in public. I’m seeing it here in Appalachia too. People are […]

Some of you have told me you don’t always see my new videos when they go up, even if you’re subscribed. Sometimes YouTube shows them, sometimes it doesn’t. That’s just the way it seems to be now. So I wanted to send this quick email and let you know I posted a new video: The […]

Orders placed now will ship Friday. And once these are gone, that’s it — I’m not planning to order more. This drive contains hundreds of preparedness, self-reliance, old-time skills, survival, homesteading, and practical knowledge files all in one place. No digging around. No hunting through dead links. No depending on the internet being available when […]
