Out hiking with the RIBZ

RIBZ Front Pack Discount

This week is going to be crazy for me. I work retail and will be slammed with Black Friday madness. To help make up for the lack of email response, probably missing a post or two and basically being unavailable I got you all a discount from RIBZ. If you have not seen the RIBZ front pack check out the review/ giveaway I did in September. The RIBZ was probably the hardest item to give away. Which is why I’ll be buying one for myself, today actually. Well I emailed the great folks at RIBZ yesterday and asked if they would hook up my readers with a discount. Nothing big, I’m not greedy just a few bucks off to sweeten the already great deal. What they offered was $20 off any model. This comes out to be about a 33% savings.Let me tell you a bit about why you should snatch one up especially at this big of a discount.

DIY Lamp from trash

I’m back with another quick, easy and cheap DIY project. When cleaning up the other day I saw a oil lamp I had made a few years ago. I had completely forgot about it.  After having sat for a few years I gave it a try and it worked just as good as ever. For this tutorial, short as it will be, I wanted to make a new one. That way I could show you step by step and now I have two and two is one after all. Let me show you how to turn trash into a great little oil burning lamp.

Success at Secession?

I have seen a lot of news recently on states ceding from the Nation. My Facebook feed has been filled with news links, and commentary on it. Lots of commentary. It seems that this issue like many further empowers the class warfare mentality of Americans. I have seen a clear line drawn in the sand. Most people ,besides some of my truly libertarian and anarchist friends, picked a side and are defending their side. I decided I needed to say something about it. I really don’t want to, I though the politics would go away after the election. The more of politics i encounter the more I lean towards anarchy.

Rude Awakening

Today I have a short rant on why you should be better organized.  I’ll tell you why not being very organized cost me a few hours of sleep. I’ll tell you how to avoid similar pain and how being prepared really kept it from being very bad. Even though I really want to crawl into bed right now and catch up on some of that missing sleep I hate missing a day without a new blog. So read on and let me rant at you!
