Long ears. Slow trails. Real lessons.
About This Channel
Out here, things move at a different pace — slower, steadier, and a whole lot clearer.
This channel follows my life with donkeys, mules, dogs, and the trails that keep us honest.
You’ll find a mix of trail philosophy, walk-and-talk stories, packing how-tos, gear basics, and the kind of real-world preparedness that comes from living rural and learning life’s lessons the slow way.
I’m not a prepper, but I’m prepared.
I’m not perfect, but these long-eared teachers keep me in line.
If you enjoy honest reflections, practical skills, dry humor, and the quiet wisdom you only find one trail at a time — you’re in good company here.
Keep your loads tight and your coffee hot.
