Full Episode
Good morning, everybody. Welcome back. Today, days like today, I should say, are the reasons why I like social media and are the reasons why I like doing this podcast. I get to sit down with somebody I never would have been connected with. I was connected to this person via a friend locally over Instagram, switched it to IRL in real life, emailing back and forth. Imagine
wanting to get off the grid. Imagine not, you know, I say that not pejoratively, but you just want to be able to have a piece of land, build your dream property, doing it all with your bare hands, what you can teach yourself and the tools and equipment that you have available, and maybe build into something where you can teach others. That for me is absolutely fascinating. And
He has been able to do that. He has an Instagram page that you have to check out. It is Modern Rural Civilian. You want to talk about somebody documenting the highs and the lows, the trials and tribulations of trying to do exactly what I just described. It's a great follow. It's fascinating to see, I want to say low tech, but I don't want that to come off incorrectly.
It's fascinating to see real world solutions or low tech solutions to modern problems. It doesn't always have to be electronics. It doesn't always have to be something that somebody else solved. One of the things I love about Mark is he just, he shows and documents what it is he's building and how he solves these problems. So that's what we're going to be talking about today. Before we do that,
Give me a few seconds. Let me pay the bills. Here we go. Today's episode is brought to you by Black Rifle Coffee. Now, today we're going to be talking specifically about their new energy product. It's no wonder why you're walking around feeling like a low-T goblin, drinking those weak-ass, sugary energy drinks that taste like batteries. You need to try Black Rifle Energy.
My friends over at Black Rifle Coffee have put together the best energy drink in America, made with 200 milligrams of naturally sourced caffeine, low calories, and absolutely zero sugar. Seriously, go to their website right now. and try them out. Right now, they've got four delicious flavors, Project Mango, Ranger Berry, Freedom Punch, and White Frost.
Aside from the incredible coffee and energy drinks, Black Rifle Coffee's founding mission is to build a support network for veterans, first responders, and law enforcement. Every purchase you make with Black Rifle Coffee helps them get funding and equipment to those on our nation's front lines.
Black Rifle sources exotic roasts from award-winning farms all over the world, and they have a wide variety of ground coffee, whole cups, K-cups, and ready-to-drink coffee if you like your coffee on the go. The roasts usually have a military tie-in to celebrate veteran culture as well. So if you are a history nerd, you'll dig the bag art as well.
They also have unique mugs, graphic tees, workout gear, outdoor apparel, and much more, all made with designs you aren't going to find anywhere else. Their design team has been going crazy lately, so check out all the new shirts and stuff they just dropped. I love their gear. I wear it all the time. The shirts, the workout shorts, the hats, it's all next level.
