Tiger Woods Arrested For DUI

A Cop pulls Tiger Woods over for swerving in and out of lanes on the highway. He tells Woods to blow into a breathalyzer.


"I can"t do that, officer -- I"m an asthmatic. I could hae an asthma attack if I blow into that tube."


"OK, we"ll just get a urine sample down at the station."


"Can"t do that either, officer. I"m a diabetic. I could get low blood sugar if I pee in a cup."


"Alright, we could get a blood sample."


"Can"t do that either, officer. I"m a hemophiliac. If I give blood, I could die."


"Fine then, just walk this white line."


"Can"t do that either, officer."
"Why not?"


"Because I"m drunk."

How This Idaho Oldtimer Constructed An Ideal “Underground Home for Less Than $50”


screen-shot-2017-03-10-at-6-37-50-pm


This guy never took to living conventionally, or really, having anything to do with the grid that he didn’t have to.


Mike Oehler is a veteran in the DIY homesteading movement –  writing the book on how he made his own underground home for cheap, less than $50 using found materials and his reservoir of ingenuity.


This house, dug into a hill and concealed underground, lends itself to camoflauge, self-sustainability, energy efficiently, prepping and survival.


Learn from his experience how to design for the best management of water flow, sunlight into your underground dwelling, and the best way to insulate naturally, and live as low cost as you prefer.



via Kirsten Dirksen:


Mike Oehler lived for over 30 years in an underground home that he built for $50 (and expanded for $500) on his land in Northern Idaho near the Canadian border. Now in his seventies his arthritis keeps him from hiking up to his home, but he continues to “write and proselytize.”


In 1968 like thousands of other San Franciscans hoping to go “back to the land”, Oehler bought property and began to build a homestead. After spending a winter freezing in a small cabin, he designed a home that would use the earth as insulation. With his first attempt he fell into the easy errors of what he calls a “first thought house”: a hole cut into a hillside with south-facing windows. Gradually he began to innovate with subterranean design, creating better ways for letting light in: among them “the Hollywood Wing”, “the Royer foyer”, gables and most-importantly the “uphill patio” (which also provides space for an earth-sheltered greenhouse). He also created an inexpensive, low-tech approach to basic design with what he calls PSP or Post/shoring/polyethlene.

Depending upon how you look at it, you could live out your dream, or prepare to survive a nightmare in relative comfort and security.


If it is build properly, it will maintain more regulated temperatures throughout the year than virtually any other structure.


If you’re flying under the radar completely, sod-covered roofs, tucked away hills on back-acre property, shrubbery and foilage in front of your major entrances and other simple tricks can help you blend in and remain almost literally undercover.


Yet, at the same time, natural light can be easily utilized for a home that does not necessarily need electricity, power or grid connections (that much is up to you).

“Micro-Homestead” This Modest Survival Shelter Could Save Your Life When It’s Time to Bug Out


bug-out-woods


It certainly isn’t much, but when you have nothing else, it could be all you need.


In many emergencies, bugging out may not be the best option. Certainly it is not the best choice for every SHTF situation.


However, there may be situations where you need to leave your home or dwelling, get out of the city while you can, and lay low until/if sense ever returns to society.


You Tuber Kevin Coy shows you what may be the lowest cost, least effort way to build a viable survival shelter – which could also have uses for hunting, camping, play, etc.


He’s calling it a “micro-homestead.”


For the millions of Americans who can barely make it to the next paycheck, much less invest in high priced gear, supplies and stocks, it may be much better than nothing at all.


Here’s the set-up he came up with:



Of course, there are many other options, especially for those who have the means to purchase, build and develop more ideal structures and set-ups.


However, at 8×8, this building could likely be built without permit or on-grid approval in most areas, and could at least serve as a temporary structure until your dream getaway is ready to go!


Prepping requires time, energy, mental and physical effort and especially the mindset to plan ahead, make sacrifices in the “now” and put valuable resources towards insurance for the future. Many will contemplate taking action, but fewer still will actually be ready when the SHTF.


But the first step in this direction may prove to be the most important one you ever make…
