April will mark my one year anniversary of blogging on Survival Sherpa. What a year! I’ve met so many great friends, stretched my comfort zone, and learned a thing or two on our journey together. Between Dirt Road Girl’s cancer, work, and family, I’ve neglected to mention that Desert Rose (from Family Survival Protocol) nominated me for the “Blog Of The Year” award. Thank you ‘MUCHLY‘! She’s one of the many value adding bloggers that I follow.
Two reasons I’ve not written or posted the award on my site: 1.) I’ve been seriously busy; 2.) I’ve never been one to promote myself. So, today I wanted to thank Desert Rose for her gracious and humbling gesture (sorry it took so long). You rock, girl!
Here are the rules for receiving the award:
1. Post seven interesting things about myself.
2. Nominate other bloggers who I feel deserve the award.
3. Let them know about the nomination.
This is the most difficult part of accepting this award – tell seven interesting things about myself. I had to get DRG involved on this one 🙂
- a. I love my wife (Dirt Road Girl), my family, my pets, and Papa.
- b. I love to build stuff – mostly from wood.
- c. I’m a proud Freedom Outlaw.
- d. I run barefoot and follow a Primal lifestyle in a modern world.
- e. I love the outdoors, being near nature, raise our own food, and preserving the harvest.
- f. Smoking bar-b-que!
- g. I love self-education (education vigilante – taking my education into my own hands), learning lost skills, personal liberty, self-ownership, and hanging out with value adding friends.
The other part of the award requires me to nominate other bloggers for this award. There are so many fine people with amazing sites that I don’t have time to read everyday. Here are my top nominees:
