"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not , when I came to die , discover that I had not lived. "----Henry David Thoreau.

"The wilderness should now no longer be considered as a playground for vandals, or a rich treasure trove to be ruthlessly exploited for the personal gain of the few," to be grabbed off by whoever happens to get there first. Man should enter the woods with the awe of one who steps within the portals of some vast and ancient edifice of wondrous architecture."---Archie Grey Owl

"Many a child journeys this high to be different, planning to get from the mountain something their natures couldn't get'em down below, that comes to nothing. Ya can't cheat the mountain pilgrim the mountain got its own way".- Bear Claw Chris Lapp

"Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late".-- Benjamin Franklin

If you feel that ya should have been born in the 1750-1850 era, go to or would like to go to mountain man rendezvous, act like calamity Jane, Pocahontas, Sacajawea or had a crush on Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett or Grizzly Adams then I'd love to hear from ya. It seems from what some gals have told me, is that I give the impression that I live in a cave, living on rats an sour grass an humming bird eggs. LOL well thats not the case. An yes I'm house broken..... But I do live a primitive way of life thats not for every one. Since 1994 I've been running my school (Lone Wolf Wilderness Skills) full time in CA and for a few years 1999-2003 in the mountains above the town of Northport, Washington state. Unfortunately this once beautiful state of California I grew up in as a youngster huntin & fishin has just turned to hell, slowly but surly they're closin off the back country, the lowlifes have now gone to the mountains to spray paint their crap on the signs (photo above), trees and rocks. The litter and trash is just everywhere, and it seems like the only folks they want to have guns is the cops and the gangs since they're tryin to take everybody elses away. So I plan to move back up to NE Washington, oregon, N Calif or AZ. I'm open to purdy much any of the states with the freedoms that are no longer in the former great state of CA, and live in a tipi. But would also like to build a old style log or a A-frame cabin as well, hell since I'm the first of my family to be born in the USA maybe I'll move up to Canada where most of my relitives are. I worked on cattle & horse ranches for 18 years and was a bullrider for 7 years. I'm also very much into the American Indian ways and life style so I really love the outdoors and all that its about. I prefer to live the self relient life style and live off what I grow, catch or hunt. I don't care much for crowds or to be around a lot of folks very often, unless its a pow wow (which I go to from time to time), gun show or a rendezvous (which I go all the time). I'm honest, kind, loyal, trust worthy, 110% commited when in a relationship, have a great sence of humor as well as a purdy darn good cook. Love animals of all kinds but my favorite are horses and dogs. I havn't had any horses for about 8 years or so and thats way way to long, so that has to change real quick. I finally broke down an I'm havin A buddy of mine Juan Lara of Juan Lara saddlery, make me up a pre-1850s style saddle so I'm gettin closer to gettin them horses lol. I now only have 4 dogs, my favorite one was killed by a mountain lion over the memorial day weekend of 2006. And no I didn't see it happen or I'd have a mountain lion rug but way more important I'd still have my dog. And Xena the dog that started this bloodline 6 generations ago is now gone aswell, I had to put her down on april 29 2007 do to cancer, they are trully missed and forever in my heart. And yes they are pitbulls as ya can see by my boy chief & his daughter Wa-sha in their photos on here. As far as my faith does I'm spiritual but not religious. I'm who and what I say I am, If any of this sounds good to ya please feel free to give me a yell. I was also reminded by a buddy that I should say on here that I have tattoos, so that if ya don't like tat's its better ya know now....

Which one are you..the dog or the wolf ?

The Dog and the Wolf
Discouraged after an unsuccessful day of hunting, a hungry Wolf came on a well-fed Mastiff. He could see the Dog was having a better time of it than he was an he inquired what the Dog had to do to stay so well-fed. "Very easy, guard the house, show fondness to the master, be submissive to the rest of the family and you are well fed and warmly lodged.

The Wolf thought this over carefully. He risked his own life almost daily, had to stay out in the worst of weather, and was never assured of his meals. He thought he would try another way of living.

As they were going along together the Wolf saw a place around the neck where the hair had been worn thin. He asked what this was and the Dog said it was nothing, "just the place where my collar and chain rub." The Wolf stopped short. "Chain?" he asked. "You mean you are not free to go when and where you choose?" "No," said the Dog, "but what does that mean?" "Everything," answered the Wolf as he trotted off. "Everything"

LADIES PLEASE read my whole profile before ya make contact, I know I said that I would answer all emails that I got but thats not the case anymore, If I don't write ya back its cause I read your profile an it has nothin on there that would tell me that we would be a match. If ya have no plans or interest in livin this type of lifestyle or we don't share any of the same interest on your profile, we have nothin in common so don't be suprised when I don't email ya back. Sorry about the change of heart but I'm startin to get way too many emails that I don't even know how to respond lol....after I get through readin I sit back an think....what am I suppose to say to that.

I also learned that some of the gals on here added me to they're favorites list, not because they have any interest in me but because they find my profile interestin. So I ain't gonna send the first email cause ya added me to your favorites list, So if ya wanna chat with me then ya don't wait for me, send a email off if your interested.
But on the other hand if I put ya on mine, then I'm very interested an I'm workin up the nerve to email ya or I didn't get the chance to read it all but something caught my eye an I want to get back to it later.


I know this ain't got nothing to do with a first date. And I know that I most likley won't find the type of gal that I'm looking for around here. So thats why I'm willing to move outa this state or at least this area. So I don't care what state you're in if ya think we've got a shot let me know. I prefer that after a few emails that we talk on the phone, I've been caught up in the endless email deal one too many times, since I type with 1 hunt & peck finger it take me forever to type lol. I'm also not interested in anyone who drinks on a regular basis.



So getting back to why I'm on here to begin with lol. What I'm looking for is a gal that has most of the same interest that I do. The most important is the primitive way of life The mountain man life style. mountain man rendezvous, historical trekking, and things that go with a pre 1850s life style. I seem to get a fair amount of emails from gals that are into the civil war reenactments. And there's nothing wrong with them or that, its just I ain't a reenactor and it has nothin to do at all with what I do or who I am. Here's a weblink to a group that'll give ya an idea of what I'm looking for just to save every one a lota time. Keep in mind that ya don't have to be in this group just this type of gal. This link will work now.
