Follow that with his “Uhuru”. Not quite a sequel but perhaps even more prescient

I’m just trying to live long enough to do all the dumb shit I’ve thought up

Understood at the time we talked and I hope I didn't come across as if I was finding any fault with Outrider...I was not. And...yes...emailing Jeff now!

Working my way through "Men at War" compiled by Hemingway, an overlooked item of his. From the Bible, to Xenophon, to Churchill, to Kipling...from Caesar's invasion of Britain, the trenches of WWI, the German invasion of Sweden, the Alamo, etc. it is a remarkably broad and beautiful collection...

Oooo....Soggy Dollar in Jost Van Dyke? Sail/swim up beach, no dock...thus the name. Sand and beach is among the best in the world.

Already in there...in Namibia and Kili....I've been trying to do Namibia but Outrider wants a whole group to book together, not one offs...I'm a loner. If you've got a bunch of guys I'd love to talk and put a group together.

Numerous and varied and you'll roast me for the new agey nature of some of it... up at 5:45am Water/light therapy (18 hours of darkness here in NH is bitch) on wakeup 1.5 hours reading before work Daily max plank, cold shower 15 minute NSDR gym 4 days a week, sauna 4 days a week Dinner at table...

Pronghorn rifle trip, trips aligned with Western values/history/culture/adventure--say a group guide of the remote churches/cathedrals of Ethiopia, Guided trip of relevant locations of the Holy Land, etc., true expeditions--lets call it a walking/horse/LandRover trip from sea to source of the...

I'm going to go off the board Alex. I could repeat Hemingway and Ruark and McCarthy...or I could go more highbrow and cite Lawrence's "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" or Gilgamesh or Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" or Ayn Rand or Thoreau....I won't. :) A handful in no particular order, works that...

Doug Patteson's recent work on his wife. Perhaps the most meaningful item I've seen from FE: https://fieldethos.com/remarkably-ordinary/

Can confirm this and I'll add...follow the local conditions there for the haboobs (dust storms coming off the Sahara). Why? Because at last note the Lagos airport doesn't have electronics necessary to get big planes in and out under bad conditions. Thus...a one week stay at the Radison Blu...

Tiny no name bar with no doors or windows, right over the Rio Grande in Boqillas Del Carmen Mexico.

Windham here. You? IG handle: spalind Give your local FE writer a follow…

If price is an issue…which is odd given the rate of bankruptcies and distillery closures at the moment….I suggest Evan Williams Bottled in Bond (green label) or Evan Williams Black. Both super cheap, both remarkably drinkable at that price and and I’ll put on a peer with anything twice as much...

Patteson jacket...and not just because I took a class from Doug but because its windstopper and water repellent nature is a fantastic shoulder season item but because at $100ish it outclasses and outpaces similar items I have from NF and others at a significantly lower price point.
