You know, I mean, Night Force was amazing. I learned so many... That's what introduced me into the passionate world of training and anything to do with, like, I just grew up a hunter, you know, so we would hunt for deer and elk in Idaho. It's a good place to do it. Oh, it's beautiful. I mean, unbelievable. I've got fantastic memories of my dad and my uncle.

out at hunting camp on a yearly, you know, annual basis. But as far as firearms went, you know, we were no different than the average Montanan, probably like a paper plate at 100 yards to make sure that your three to nine scope is on target. And I like it. Yeah. It's been known to work. It was cool.

But, but to find meaning within that, that night force role, I began to really, I mean, I got hyper addicted and obsessed with long range precision shooting and stuff. Yeah. And, and. it wasn't ever structured. I didn't shoot competitively. It was just always, I had the, the public land, you know, here within my, um, close, close radius to home in Idaho.

So, um, but, but once again, so night force was, was incredible. Uh, I got really hooked on the, the, the, Bits and pieces of the tactical community and exposed to things that I just never dreamt of within that company. Also got burned out on it, went completely left field into the self-employed vintage trailer restoration and rehoming, basically rescuing business and

And I was kind of, uh, I had the blinders on and was kind of tunnel vision on how do I take this to the next level? Um, I had just built a new shop in the back sort of area of our residential home. You know, we sold a 20, nothing fancy, but like a 2,700 square foot, you know, home that we'd put a lot of work into making it, making it pretty and making it comfortable for us in town. Um,

And then COVID hit and my then girlfriend, Heather, she said, we can sell all this and buy land. Like, you know, it was not my, like I said, I had the blinders on with finally being self-employed and making something of it. She's, of course you would hear whisperings of the real estate market at that time, but she was the driving force to think. No, it's like, you know, it's a real thing.

We could make a lot of money off of what we've built here and reinvest in being out in the country, which we, folks our age at that time, I think we're kind of, unless you really had something creative in the works or, or, um, business entrepreneurial in the works, a lot of people are just, uh, sort of accepting and getting locked into like, this is not a bad life.

It's not maybe my dream life, but, um, we may not ever own that acreage kind of a scenario. And so I think there was probably about a six to eight month gestation period between, you Right now, it's a good time, and it was never going to be an easy time. We set out to reduce our belongings down to basically nothing. We started traveling in a radius around our current living.
