Canada is a special place. I need to go there and catch some of these vibes https://blossom.primal.net/3d450544b43161de4fe25a43ec3591a8c91a7eedf9afa17fceddcb9dbe574947.mp4

Yeah and these woke assholes command squads of young uneducated RCMP goons with guns that were more than happy to stomp all over our rights during Covid. And are willing enforcers for the corrupt Canada Revenue Agency. You truly can’t hate your government enough. God I hope we successfully separate from the nation here in Alberta.

Ever since I watched this movie I started searching for indoor footwear that have no rubber sole or any padding between the two layers of leather in the sole. I even tested whether I was indeed grounding to the earth while wearing them by using a multimeter and a known ground (my main house water pipe) to see if while wearing them (vs runners) and standing on the concrete basement floor slab, I was actually electrically grounded to the earth. Since it’s really cold here, months can go by where you never actually make electrical contact with the earth. Always wearing boots or shoes, especially when indoors most of the time from November 30 till March 30. And while it’s a godsend in the warm months (and summer when it swings to +35C), the basement slab is usually so cold that your feet will go numb in a few minutes if you are barefoot. It’s like a meat locker down in the man cave where I have my office and workspace and heavy bag set up. I wanted to know if I was actually grounding for those long winter months. We are in a 70’s era house, but most modern basement slabs have a layer of poly plastic between the concrete and the sand or drain rock beneath it. It’s used for radon gas and water leak protection. The girls in the house actually use grounding mats in their beds so they are legit grounded to the earth when they are asleep. These mats plug into the ground plug on a nearby electrical outlet and can be similarly tested with a multimeter. Anyway, all this to make the point many Nostriches make when they say “touch grass”. I’m not even going to see the grass in my backyard for another two weeks lol. The snow is still two feet deep out there. I think there may indeed be health benefits to sending excess charges in your body into the ground every day. Watch this movie and see what you think:

Thanks. I overcame the notion that sewing is a gender based skill a long time ago. Back in my skydiving days my local rigger built full rigs, containers, main canopies and reserve parachutes. Sewing was obviously a big part of it. The first 120ft2 sport parachute I ever bought, I cut all of the panels of zero porosity nylon and all of the spectra line sets to length with a hotknife, according to the cut list and the cardboard templates. Then I cut the webbing for the risers and the steering toggles, and handed the whole thing to Chris to sew together. I ended up getting a $1200 parachute for about $800 by doing the cutting. It was a pretty cool feeling deploying that thing for the first time at terminal velocity and praying it didn’t blow up from the opening shock. My buddy had half of his canopy totally blow out once and we happened to have a video telemetre on him when it happened. I swear you could see his eyes suddenly get bigger lol.

This $30 Amazon sewing kit plus some add-in larger needles has already saved $100 worth of socks, $200 worth of hunting gear, and these, my fav ugly but earth-grounding and live-in footwear. I can’t wait to get some traditional buckskin ones from a certain nostrich. Not a beautiful repair, but these mocs cost about $115. #prepstr #depressioneraskills
