Today I’m going to talk about the Paleo diet. I’ve been eating a paleo style for over a year at this point and love it. I honestly cannot imagine ever going back to eating another way. It’s great for weight loss which is a big reason I chose it. Paleo has been proven to reverse or put into remission a great number of the autoimmune diseases that are spreading throughout the world. The basic premise is to attempt to replicate the diet of our ancient hunter gatherer ancestors.
This past week I had a chance to attend a handgun training course offered by Condition 1 firearms academy. The two main instructors were Justin Coyle and Darryl McCreary. Also in attendance for training were Andrew Gervais of Liberty Tactical Supply, Frank Maschhoff Jr and Zach Hall all very experienced shooters and great instructors. It was an incredible experience. The class was aimed at the beginner shooter to get them comfortable handling a firearm and a preparation for a handgun safety course. It was taught with the premise that the students had no previous training.
I have a natural inclination towards all things homemade and “green” which has really blossomed since I’ve become an adult, and
even more recently, started a family. I enjoying trying new recipes and finding substitutes for staples around the house.
The easiest way to make cleaning products and toiletries more natural and much cheaper is to pull from your kitchen. Who
needs Comet when you have baking soda? Spa products are easy to make with a few simple staples. You will save money, save
space, and save the world! by spending a little time making these things at home.
A few weeks ago while I was hiking with James and Mike from Skills and Gear James let me try out his Winchester Manual Chainsaw. I’ve seen and tried the other wire saw’s and am always disappointed. Well with this one I was blown away by how well it performed. I tore through a downed tree branch on the trail. With how easy it cut and how light it is I decided I had to get one. Mike likes OpsGear on facebook and let me know about a deal they had on them for $7.99. I couldn’t resist it and got one. This past weekend I had a chance to get out and give it a try.
Every week I cook a weeks worth of lunches for work week. It saves me money and allows me to stick to the diet. The diet in this case is the Paleo Diet. I’ve been more or less on it for a year with a bit too much off. To ensure I am sticking to it I precook healthy meals at home. This week I’m making Ribeye steaks with a sautéed brussel sprouts, Taco meat on kale with home-made salsa, Chicken thighs and cauliflower curry and Pork chops with broccoli and cauliflower with a mustard sauce. Sound fancy smancy but it’s cheaper than eating out for the week and easy. I spent about an hour cooking four delicious meals. Let me some you how.
