Will is the head instructor at the Z.E.R.E Survival School in Ohio. Z.E.R.E. stands for Zombie Evasion Resistance Elimination. Will say’s it like this

” As a Veteran, I see people take an awful lot of chances with their personal safety on a daily basis”. It is our most sincere wish to be able to teach people basic modern survival skills, how to defend themselves, their homes and loved ones. While the world turns into a scarier place everyday, we would like to teach this serious skill set through the much loved concept of the zombie apocalypse.

We dig into how to begin learning tracking. Tips for those new to the practice and things often overlooked. We also discuss Obstacle course races and their benefit to survival. All this and more.

Death Wish Coffee Review

March 17, 2015March 17, 2015 James Burnette 6 Comments

Death wish coffee labels itself the worlds strongest coffee. A bold statement. Their logo is a skull and crossbones. The pictures on the website are tattooed bearded men. In short my kind of people. I was very intrigued by their claim of the world’s strongest coffee. I love a good strong black coffee. I do not fear the bastard flavor of bitter.

I can’t stand a weak coffee. If it does not put hair on your chest I’m not interested. I could not let a statement like Worlds strongest coffee go unchallenged. I knew I had to test out some of their brew. The great folks at Death Wish Coffee sent over a bag and I got to reviewing. In the name of science I drank many many cups. You are welcome dear reader. So how did it stack up to the claims?

Second Chance By Robert Kiyosaki

March 16, 2015March 16, 2015 James Burnette 3 Comments

I love having the chance to work with people I look up to. I remember many years ago watching late night infomercials. I knew them all. I had my favorite ones. No not the hair in a can stuff. The ones from great entrepreneurs were my favorites. I’ve always had the entrepreneurial spirit. I’ve come up with a million small business in my life. Mostly unfocused though. Never living up to the potential. It took great mentors to push me. One of those mentors, unbeknownst to them, is Robert Kiyosaki. You probably know him as the Rich Dad Poor Dad Guy. I read his first book, Rich Dad Poor Dad, right after deciding to drop out of college. I knew that college was not meant for me. I don’t do well with bosses. I had to make my own way. The core of what I learned from that book came down to thinking. The rich think different from the poor. Certain ways of looking at things prevents you from achieving the success you want. When I was contacted to review his new book I was excited. This is a sponsored post by Rich Dad. Regardless I will and have turned down opportunities many times if they don’t align with our values in this community. This I fully support.

I’m itching to start my garden. Was planing on already having it in actually. Normally by this time Tennessee is already having spring weather. Not this year. Winter is hanging on this year. Instead of the March 15th last frost date it will be April 1st before I put in the beds.

Instead of planting I’ve been thinking about what to do. Today I share some thoughts on what my pans are. What will I be planting? How am I going to do it?
