Dave Hakes’ - Island Mode

Aloha!

You were most likely directed here from my website - http://dhakes.com - and you are here to support my blog. I'm raising funds to spend more time writing for you. I write on current events, digital life (mostly 4th Amendment issues), gear to help you prepare for either your next camping trip or the next emergency (whether natural or man-made) and fitness/exercise. The more funding I receive the more time I can spend testing gear, gathering data and writing...

I do not want site sponsorship:

I do not want to be told what to test

I do not want to spend my time on someone else’s idea

I do not want to be told what to write

If something doesn't work well I want to let you know about it - if something does you will definitely know about it...

These funds will help me adjust to a more consistent posting schedule instead of the random posting schedule I have at the moment... I'd like to have a post for you every Saturday but at the moment I do not have the time for that - help me make the time...

I am a retired Live Event Production Manager/Technical Director. I am not liberal. I am not conservative. I am a Christian Native American Veteran who (along with my wife of 21 years) happens to be the father of 6 kids. Please go to http://dhakes.com and read a few (random) posts from the last few years and get a feel for what I write and whether it is worth your money to read more…

The only place that I am placing/advertising a link to this page is on my website. I am attempting a true crowd funding. I am truly leaving it to other folks (my readers, friends, family and community) to take this viral - come here, donate and provide links to this page - or not…

Aloha,

Dave
