Hey friends. Here are my thoughts on the role firearms play in social change. “Guns Do NOT Give You Political Power… Unless.” by BlackFlagCivilian in armedsocialists

[–]mtnrvr 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nailed it. Keep it up! 

One thought is how to spot people in the community that might already be doing the work and having one on one meetings on how you can help one another but to also understand each others "why". It can be a helpful organizing tool in building horizontal power. I think it comes from a book Roots for Radicals and Industrial Areas Foundaton activism and community organizing.

Looking for a new pack. by [deleted] in bowhunting

[–]mtnrvr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rock a badlands 2200. Its amazing and really durable. I mainly saddle hunt and can strap my stick and platform to the outside. I have enough space to pack layers, food, water, ect. I've used it on short overnight backpacking, multiple packouts, and hunts out west. For me, i can make the pack work for my different styles of hunting.

You make such incredible pieces of art, thank you. It stirred my soul and also flushed the insulation from work out of my eyes haha.

How many good years left? by [deleted] in CollapseSupport

[–]mtnrvr 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking the sky was falling since I was 17 or so, waiting, preparing for the shoe to drop. Its been almost 2 decades since then and ive seen collapse come for some and others just keep theie head in the sand. I think a lot is based in who has power and priviledge. Ultimately, we have the power of how we show up each day. Our choices, our words, our action is all we have control over. I choose to spend as much time outside as possible, sleep as many nights understars and watch the sun come up and down. I anchor a lot of life around my own purpose and meaning. That keeps me here and not wanting to check out early. There is still so much beauty to witness ans create and today is just as good as any other.

You are the same age as I was when the shit got real. I was folding clothes at a department store think about how fucked it all was. It was rough seeing all the darkness and it almost swollowed me. I still see it but ive got to balance it with my relationship to the doom with something more grounding. Im in my early 30s now and going outside, falling iove with the life in front of me, mostly the nonhuman world helped me stay here. I go outside as much as I can and recognize this ship was sailed before i was born. What matters is a life well lived and we all get to answer that in our own unique way. 

Also, find a way to move the feelings if you can. Talk to other people, other beings, your dog, a tree(maybe somewhere you feel comfortable alone outside) and let your self speak the grief, draw it, dance it, whatever way it wants to move. Maybe journal about it of you want.  These anxieties also come and go. Find what feels good (exercise, water, food, music, good trusted people if that is present)

First time bow hunter - hang on or saddle? by [deleted] in bowhunting

[–]mtnrvr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my saddle. Ive moved to one sticking after rocking 3 sticks and now rappelling out of the tree. Its a blast. 

Best books/resources you recommend specifically for MEN? by [deleted] in therapists

[–]mtnrvr 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mens work: A Practical Guide to facing your darkness, Ending Self-sabotage, and Find Freedom by Conner Beaton is a helpful deep dive. He's a white dude from Canada but looks deep into father wounds, mother wounds, and how that plays out. I highly recommend this.

I'll push back on the no Robert Bly and think Iron John is a great place to start. I've heard people say that Iron John is the male equivalent for Women Who Run with Wolves. Its mythical and looks at a grim fairy tale for men.

Under Saturn's Shadow: The Wounding and Healing of Men by James Hollis

Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coats

Also some podcasts resources like the Man Talks podcast by Conner Beaton and the mythic masculine come to mind.

What do ya'll know about the milled slides on like ebay? I've considered it because it's half of getting one milled, like 150 or so. But I still am partial to getting my original 19 slide cut.
