It’s Ok To Not Be Ok!
Today, I had to give myself permission to be sad. As a society, we are all moving too fast and not allowing ourselves to experience life. I was guilty today!
I like to stay in a positive place and be strong enough to keep moving forward. I am a strong woman though I need to remember in my weakness, HE is strong!
Tonight, well who am I kidding, let me start that again… All day today, yesterday, AND the day before I have been curled up in my Dad’s red and black checkered flannel to which I adore and will wear thread bear as time goes on.
Saturday, I got that call. The one we all dread. Dad’s not doing well, you might want to call and say your goodbyes!
One of the most important things we can do for ourselves is ALLOW ourselves to feel, to be, to experience, to process… It is through this process, that we can mourn, grow, overcome… It is when we stay in a low place for too long and don’t seek help or stuff our emotions creating another layer that will hold us back and keep us from experiencing the best in life!
Give yourself permission…
In my Breathwork sessions, I help people to break down past trauma, stuffed stuff, anxiety, pain, stress, etc. When we learn how to just BREATHE through these moments and allow ourselves to feel what needs to be felt, we can move on in life a lot lighter. We take on WAY too much baggage in life and by learning how to harness our breath, we can be healthier, happier, and educated.
It was totally OK for me to be sad today. My dad was always and will forever be my people. He was the only one growing up that really understood me, he cheered me on to live this life, he had my back, he taught me how to be tough, how to be independent and strong, he taught me how to be brave and to never give up, he taught me how to change my oil and tires before I could drive (oh and gap a spark plug), he taught me how to hunt and fish, he taught me how to spackle like a queen and how to find pleasure in hard work, and he taught me how to love deeply. My deepest sadness today is that I can’t be there today to hold his hand!

This man is humble, but so incredibly talented!
He built this sawmill back in 2013. It provided lumber for us to build the Mountain Boy’s stilted treehouse (how he overcame a fear of heights) which later got enclosed underneath for our goat barn, a chicken coop, rabbit hutch, cabin on our first homestead, cabin for friends(aka Millie Copper), our bed, our bathhouse, and it’s latest feet was our tiny cabin on our new homestead the end of 2020. This doesn’t include all those misc. things that were built with the lumber…
Milling your own lumber is such a blessing & money saver, but to be transparent, it’s an EXTREME amount of work.
First the monster trees need felled. In order to get a true two by four piece of lumber you need the small end of the log to be 7 inches & the tree straight.
Then limb the tree. Being sure nothing is protruding that a saw blade could get caught on.
Then cut the tree to lengths to accommodate your needs for your lumber.
Then to get the tree from where it lays to the sawmill without getting dirt, debri, & rocks stuck in the tree because those are hard on the blades. (The Mountain Man has made several log arches, cones for dragging the logs, trailers, and varying devices to make this task easier.). We are blessed to own a Portable Winch @portablewinchco
Then get the logs on the mill. Praise God for levers, pulleys, digging bars, & cant hooks.
Then mill the log on all sides to get it square & carrying the heavy slash from the mill to the pile to later be cut to length with a chainsaw for firewood.
THEN you can start cutting lumber!
Don’t forget those blades get dull so sharpening and tooth setting is a requirement. More on this soon.
It’s NOT by any means an easy process & it’s certainly a LOT easier to go to Home Depot or the like, but it will cost you an arm & a leg today AND the wood seems to keep getting smaller. So not only is it cheaper, we are getting true to size lumber, staying fit, & have a LOT to show for ALL our hard work! Just some things to consider though.

My family and I have been living “The Rugged Life” for the last 12 years fully off-grid in northern Idaho. Starting our adventure in a wall tent for the first 8 1/2 months while we built our first homestead. It was a choice, a dream, a desire for us and the longer we live this lifestyle the greater our desire is to go deeper and deeper.
All it took was having a dream and a plan and putting those into action.
So often you hear people working their tail off to get to retirement age so they have enough money and can embrace their dreams. Only they reach this place and no longer have their health to live out such dreams.
We chose to live our life living out our dreams daily instead of waiting for things to be perfectly lined up, we just did it!
I don’t want to live my life waiting for something to be lined up perfectly because it will never happen. I’ve seen too many people keep putting things off waiting for the perfect timing and totally missing their opportunity! It is sad really. I want to live my life like there is no tomorrow and like today is the best day of my life!
If you have a dream, but you are afraid to step out of your comfort zone and embrace it, I want to encourage you to DO IT!
All the best things in life are on the other side of fear and your comfort zone!
If you are looking to be more self-reliant, but you don’t have the skills, our friend Clint Emerson of @100deadlyskills wrote the book The Rugged Life just for you!
You can get your copy here https://trayerwilderness.com/ruggedlife or link in bio
Don’t wait for things to be perfect or till you have all the skillsets! Learn as you go and embrace your dreams now! We are not promised tomorrow!
What is your greatest dream?

As always, a great conversation with Melissa at Pioneering Today Podcast @melissaknorris Thank you for the opportunity and for having me!
#repost Trayer Wilderness (IG: @trayerwilderness )
I didn’t think I liked wild game because it tasted too “gamey” (an unpleasant metallic flavor)… but what I didn’t realize is that I didn’t like it because it wasn’t prepared properly.
If you’re a wild game fan (or want to be), you’ll want to catch this episode with Tammy from @trayerwilderness She’s sharing her tips on harvesting and preparing wild game! (Clickable link my my bio!)

Every vehicle had issues this week. Every day it was something new and even a flat on the old homestead truck….
Enemy, it’s going to take more than that to break this girl! Not once this week did I skip a beat. You learn to roll with the punches and keep going.
Today, I had some errands so what is a GIRL to do but….
IMPROVISE, ADAPT, & OVERCOME!!
The Harley gets better fuel economy anyway, perfect vehicle for our current times.
Our world is upside down right now and many of you are struggling, worried, anxious…. I just want to encourage you to keep looking up and TRUSTING!
No matter how much you have stockpiled, no matter what skills you have, we will never be fully prepared if we don’t allow God in the forefront leading the way, seeking Him for guidance, direction, and wisdom, and trusting Him no matter what comes our way! To me that is the secret to preparedness, it is not self-reliance it is God-reliance!
Don’t lose your hope or faith! Keep your chin up and keep going. Focus on the good in your life no matter how big or small and keep focusing on the gratitude. Our life will clone our thoughts…. You are down and not enjoying life - life will suck. If you enjoy life despite the chaos - even though there is chaos you will still be able to find your joy, happiness, and your place of peace.
Today, I got to enjoy one of those places that gives me peace. I feel like God’s arms are wrapped around me while I ride.
"Get up into the high mountain." Isaiah 40:9. Sometimes a change of scenery does our hearts good. Once we get above the valley of our circumstances, we can see things much more clearly. Take time today to see things from heaven`s perspective. Get to a place where you can be quiet and listen to what the Lord will say to you. -John Randall
Great words by @johnprandall ! May this encourage you today!
God bless

Looking for homesteading resources?
Some of you may know I am an author and writer. It is a passion to write and in my wilderness playground here in Idaho I am surrounded with inspiration along with the joy of living the off-grid dream.
I love the traditional life we have chosen and fill my day with chores that I love and that keep me fit and I’m always tackling something new to add to my knowledge banks - I am a sponge for learning. I also make it a point to do things that make my heart sing and create more and more creativity in my life.
That being said, when I was asked to be a part of the inaugural issue of the Homestead Living Magazine I was over the top elated. There is nothing better to me than writing from such an inspirational physical location and sharing my passion of simple traditional living with the world.
It can be hard in this fast paced life and overloaded internet to find solid, sound helpful information.
The Homestead Living Magazine released today and I was thrilled to see the company I shared the pages with. Humbled!! Honored!!

Do you practice self care or give yourself permission to take breaks?
We embarked on our off-grid, homesteading, traditional living journey 13 years ago. We were seeking a freedom and an ability to live life by our terms.
We did find that, but it was an interesting learning experience. I learned how society still had a hold on us.
I had to learn that it was ok to take a break, to even slow down in our rushed and over scheduled society. I had declining health and wasn’t sure the cause for many years and was slowly trying desperately to slow things down and take better care of myself.
Then add life-saving surgery in 2016 as a result of #breastimplantillness which landed me flat on my back for a year and an 8 year healing journey. Flat on my back with reason and I was still fighting the societal thoughts that I was useless, worthless, old, etc. Then through the grace of God, I heard Him loud and clear as He told me He had me right where He wanted me and He was going to use me out of that place and He did‼
He also molded me, and taught me that we are called to REST‼ Do you know how often Jesus escaped to the wilderness to retreat, pray, and spend quiet time with God? A LOT‼!
This was my pivotal point to accept and understand the NEED to rest and that it was OK and that we SHOULD rest!
My healing journey required a LOT of self care - this level of self care can be so time consuming, but it was so worth it! I went from totally debilitated, to getting my life and health back! All good things take time so give yourself grace!
I learned how much better life was at a slower pace and also how much more successful, healthy, present, productive, creative, and enjoyable life could really be once you slowed it down.
Yesterday, I was tired and I did not have to fight myself, I just enjoyed a wonderful afternoon nap.

Do you practice self care or give yourself permission to take breaks?
We embarked on our off-grid, homesteading, traditional living journey 13 years ago. We were seeking a freedom and an ability to live life by our terms.
We did find that, but it was an interesting learning experience. I learned how society still had a hold on us.
I had to learn that it was ok to take a break, to even slow down in our rushed and over scheduled society. I had declining health and wasn’t sure the cause for many years and was slowly trying desperately to slow things down and take better care of myself.
Then add life-saving surgery in 2016 as a result of #breastimplantillness which landed me flat on my back for a year and an 8 year healing journey. Flat on my back with reason and I was still fighting the societal thoughts that I was useless, worthless, old, etc. Then through the grace of God, I heard Him loud and clear as He told me He had me right where He wanted me and He was going to use me out of that place and He did‼
He also molded me, and taught me that we are called to REST‼ Do you know how often Jesus escaped to the wilderness to retreat, pray, and spend quiet time with God? A LOT‼!
This was my pivotal point to accept and understand the NEED to rest and that it was OK and that we SHOULD rest!
My healing journey required a LOT of self care - this level of self care can be so time consuming, but it was so worth it! I went from totally debilitated, to getting my life and health back! All good things take time so give yourself grace!
I learned how much better life was at a slower pace and also how much more successful, healthy, present, productive, creative, and enjoyable life could really be once you slowed it down.
Yesterday, I was tired and I did not have to fight myself, I just enjoyed a wonderful afternoon nap.

My Lifestyle is a choice!
I live off-grid with intention!
My days are filled with chores and our desire to life traditionally means hard, gratifying work.
It is what creates grit, perseverance, tenacity,
strength, wisdom, knowledge, the ability to overcome, freedom, longevity and
a deep gratification & love for life!
I wouldn`t trade it for anything!
I live off-grid!
