On Feb. 3rd,  In the mountains a couple hours north of Spokane, we lost our cabin in a house fire that led to an explosion stealing without warning just about everything we had ever had in life. The Red Cross was there right away to offer us aid in different ways, you can call Jeannie with the Red Cross (208) [phone redacted] if you would like to verify all of this. The Red Cross put two hundred dollars toward housing solutions and we hoped some of you out there might join in the effort to help us restore life back to some form of normalcy. 

We are humble goat herders who seek out the best health. We work with local landowners to bring regenerative practices to their lands. While maintaining a lifestyle that allows us to focus 100 % of our attention on our child and what we take into our bodies. This leaves little time for the pursuit of money for the sake of money and thus most of the time we have very little of it.

This is Sky Captain

We want our Sun to feel as if life is just getting better every day and there is nothing to regret as we flow onward in the river of time.

With the help everyone is providing we are doing that. Today he was taken to a crystal shop and got to pick an instrument (a replacement for the 5 of his lost).

That was all thanks to you folks (as we have almost NEVER gone shopping or attained such things in that way.) The support that has been shown is changing the story of our life hour by hour and reinvigorating our will to push on.

This is what was left of the washer.

Male Perspective

Watching your loved ones rummage through this

looking for little bits of what used to be something they knew is beyond heart breaking, Jarring.  The smell of it still lingers thick in the air for me. The sounds made as you walk through the seemingly un-terrestrial environment. The totally unexpected sound of a child's voice rising up in pride and satisfaction at some small insignificant item that lay untouched by flame. As you look up with pride you're also met with knowing that little man has no way of really knowing how this will come to affect his life. The pure joyful incidence of a child, your child. In a situation like this. Makes you make a weird distorted grin/cry that you instantly have real eyes you need to hide your face, your emotions and do so. Hands in your face, holding tight. Stumbling blindly you hold it in as best you can. Your breath, the tears, the feelings of drowning in a cloud of  Fear, anger, hopelessness, frustration and guilt wrapped up into a somewhat silent, mouth half opened drooling slob. 

Pounding at the snow at the unfairness of it all, crying at all the visions you're flooded with of all the things you did in your office, or in your bedroom or in the kitchen or all the other little things that you never really appreciated, not like you should have. Not till it was all taken away from you. As you start to thank your lucky stars you still have what counts the very most, those you love.  Is when remorse kicks in and you say to yourself what a dumbass I was for making mountains out of mole hills or that I even cared about this and that enough to take away from the peace and love in my home in anyway, or things that were left untouched, or unused  stuff that we had worked for years to obtain that we had not yet the clean or temperate space yet to use like heirloom, seeds of all kinds we had been collecting  for years waiting for that perfect time and place. We imagine now that perhaps for generations to come all kinds of plants and trees will pop out of this impact crater we once called our home.
All the things you cherished and thought were noteworthy to make your child a better man, make your life more full of health, like buying high-end certified clean & organic wholefood raw living vitamins but not taking them all the time. You know.. All the things you know you could have been doing better to show more respect to the gift that is your life comes up to bodyslam you like nothing else. Like the 55 gal barrel of walnuts you should have eaten a lot more of or the hand made goat treats “you could have given more to your goats had you not been stingy”.. You know, it goes on and on.. Tear by tear till one day there are no more tears left to give. That day is not yet today for me.


This fire rocked our world and managed (in large part due to a 40 gal propane tank that exploded) to burn up everything around our home as well, 

Including our stores of hand harvested, leaves and hay, for our herd of 12 and growing ( babies on the way within days)  mostly female goats that give our Sun their nutrient rich milk in return for a comfy life with us free ranging in the depths of the wilds where we wild forage alongside our loving animals as much as 50% of the year.
 
Wild harvested or bulk organic food. The containers melted to the ground, with most of its contents unidentifiable,
 
like a 55 gallon drum full of wild harvest black walnuts or a gallon jar of hazelnuts and filberts nuts all picked and shuked and dried with our own hands.
or a 50lb sacks of American grown organic dried corn, lentils, flax, chia.. whole food organic vitamins & storage food...
 
Most of this was purchased because we were invited to a small island last year to work our goats. During our stay were given a substantial food and needs allowance that we spent wisely, and mostly through mom and pop shops.
 
 
The Water Machine we had could cure all manner of disease and is the only registered medical device in the USA and Japan of its kind.
 
The air technology we had creates high quality oxygen in your home. I have a hard time understanding how we will ever have again these health gadgets. These things were going to be the base for our business; health services we offered through our system called Jacob's Ladder... also, they could purchase the technology and we could receive commissions. But not many can afford a $4000 hydrogen creating drinking water thing-me-do.  
Water Tech
 
and even if they have the money most can't fathom the advantage of Pure Air for Life's O11 oxygen. So no sales have been made, yet. These things were purchased for us by people who had helped see the light of health in other areas and so moved to help us further our health and business capabilities by purchasing those items for us.
 
I think what upsets me the most, what keeps nagging at me all the time is how cool it was for our Sun to be eating such a wide and varied amount of nutrient dense foods that we ourselves had either grown, wild harvested or urban foraged with our own hands out here in just about the healthiest land in North America. All that hard work just flushed down the toilet.
 
The fact that he has to eat substandard food and drink incorrect ph water, or that the VOC's in the air coming from all the synthetic crap around us now (that our cabin burned down and our Pure air for life portable Air filter was lost) we just have to suck it up and not whine about the devastating health effects.. It breaks my heart that so many are ignorant to our basic needs for correctly formed correct pH water not only for drinking but a whole other pH for bathing.. What happens to a plant or a fish or a pool if you give it the wrong pH water? What happens to a child?

When will the right to thrive be a thing? It would be nice if we had agencies in charge of that type of education or technology. I feel like so many people are given that much harder of a time in life because of things like this. Much like the overweight person who switches to diet soda is hindered even though he's reaching for what's right.
Our little man, Forrest, is time and time again pointed out as one of the strongest, well behaved, kind, happiest, most cognitive child they have encountered in their lifetime. He reads both by word and by interpretation of photos, counts and speaks in multiple languages, spells, writes, draws, sings, plays guitar, flute, harmonica, hand drum and will oftentimes be found building something or climbing a tree while he is singing or humming. Making his life as comfortable and healthy as it can be is our full time life. He loved his assortment of thousands of hand picked videos in several languages in his 8TB hard drive, seen on a screen that blocked blue light.
The laptop was the last thing still burning.
 
Really our only source of entertainment and education as we did not own a TV and home school.
Everything we knew, up in a flash and reduced to one pile of smoldering ash
We may not have much else at this point, but having each other is really all we need.
 
For those of you with the heart to have read this far, Thank you, Love love love. May the Earth Mother guide your feet and may the Father of all always light your path.

Any of you that help out will be sent more of our story, details on how we managed to escape this fire, what caused it and how we all handled it. as well as daily highlights on what's going on with ur life as we transition.

The money you donate today will be split up into various categories (unless you state your donating to a certain category in your comments as you make your donation) of things based on our immediate and most pressing needs. Here is what we have come up with so far and where we are at in obtaining those individual goals. You’ll find what was purchased with the money in the updates of this gofund me as things come in.


Organic wholesome Foods and Seeds -$2400 

( $500 of this goal is reached so far ) $0 spent so far

For several months till the summer is back around ( about 4 months) and we can really stock up on food supplies through wild and countryside foraging again. We normally don't spend any money on food and obtain all we need from the land as well as under utilized local gardens, fruit and nut trees. As for seeds, we had so many beautiful heirloom varieties, to cover all our needs and an army more. Heard of Moringa? A super tree, a miracle tree that grows yards (7ft) a year. And Matcha, and Hemp, and Nigella... Barrels of more traditional stock as well. Uprising Seed Co is a favorite. And our locally sourced fruit seeds, apples, pears, peach, apricot, cherries... May they rest in peace.


Child's clothing & Bedding- $2000 

( $600 of this goal is reached so far ) $44 spent so far  Order is on its way -Organic Pjs, Wash Cloth, Blanket

We really worked hard to make sure that our child had organic clothing and it's important to do so. The chemicals that are coming off our clothing are beyond what most are willing to comprehend and combined with other forms of glyphosate exposure is leading to some horrible things for us but even more so for the younger generations. Take a look for yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo-kSxHNSDQ

It's imperative that we get our little guy back to organic everything as soon as possible. He even had organic sheets and comforter as well as a 40% silver flat grounding sheet. We had a set of these things for our bed but the best we had gotten for ourselves thus far was organic socks.. That's because organic clothing is VERY expensive and just about any time we got a little cash that was what we purchased with it, as well as every time we had a chance we visited the 3 local clothing banks and tidily looked through their offering of childs clothing for Organic clothing that our Son could use. We would really luck out. But nowadays most of those places are closed due to the.. Well you know what..


Childs Toys, entertainment and educational supplies ($2500 for 2022)  

( $450 of this goal is reached so far ) $0 spent so far

We had things like a couple 8 terabyte hard drives that we could download videos from youtube and other platforms to so that our Son had a fully customizable library of thousands of videos separated by dozens of categories including a hefty language section that included counting & reading in 5 of the world's linked languages. A projector, work booklets and cool hand held learning toys and high end learning packages from the likes of Kiwi Co and others.


Adult clothing and bedding ($7000) 

($400 of this goal is reached so far) $0 spent so far

In a world of dreams and fluffy stuff we too could have organic clothing and shoes with non toxic glues in them. We had splurged for bedding for ourselves last Christmas but beyond that we had some wool outer layers. We may one day yet again (after 6 years of sleeping on all manner of uncomfortable albeit natural surfaces with achy backs this year we finally managed to make ourselves a wool stuffed mattress from local wool we had obtained) sleep on a non toxic bed with non toxic organic bedding but only time will tell. We are all wearing shoes that are hand me downs. New ones would be great.


Raw, living wholefood organic & certified clean vitamins and minerals( $4000 for 2022)

($300 of this goal is reached so far) $50 spent so far- order of Shilajit is on its way

 Now more days than ever it's important to supplement your food intake and most people know that. For children this is an vitial need. It's said that the human body is in need of no less than a combination of 60 vitamins, minerals, essential fatty and amino acids to maintain normal biological function. Otherwise you're dying from over 1 or more of 300 known degenerative diseases. For the first time this last year we had spent a large quantity of our available funds on such things only to have them burned up in the fire. We will be happy to share with you what we have found to be some of the world's most important supplements as we have the money to buy them and share these purchases with you all. 


Electronics ($2200) 

($500 of this goal is reached so far)  $28spent so far ordered an Alarm Clock & SD card

If you got this far you are aware of some of the electronics we are in need of already. We are in need of a good quality desktop, and a few other gadgets that would allow us to do thighs like get the internet way off-grid. Put up some game cameras and perhaps look into, pick up another ham radio ( the only legal way to live off grid with a child). Printer and scanner please please please please. We would love to keep posting more photos and videos but today the 17th is the last day I can use a friend's camara and so until we can get one there's not much I can do about that. For sure we would love to be talking photos and video for our own memories


Off grid Life support tools ($5000)

($250 of this goal is reached so far)  $50 spent so far -ordered Activated Charcoal

Living out in the middle of nowhere like we do can put you in a pinch in a hurry if you're seriously injured somehow as medical help is always an hour or two away. Being able to pick up a sat phone and call in a chopper is a mountain families only way to maintain that safety connection to the modern serjical world. Emergency helicopter flight if needed prepaid for 3, a sat phone, GPS, medical kits, ect.


Tools ($8000) 

$150 of this goal is reached so far)  $0 spent so far

Battery operated tool set, shovels for dirt and snow. Conveyor belt for moving dirt etc. small/ sluice for mining. 6 inch dredge for gold mining. With these things we can get back to harvesting various things from the land to help pay for things long term. We would also be interested in a partner who may be willing to go in on equipment worth more money if someone wants to make a larger joint venture out of this that could be an even better long term deal for our family.


Health equipment /medications ($12,000)

$1000 of this goal is reached so far)  $0 spent so far

Water tech ( 2.5 pH water kills aids and mrsa on contact ), Air tech ( what's harming the trees does not mess with us), EMF protection 5 g what? Fa-geta-bot-it with your help we will have that handled again and you can find your own devices here.

Art supplies ($500)

$220 of this goal is reached so far)  $10 spent so far ordered Prismacolor Pencils

Shelby has grown into an amazing artist over the years and now we are watching Forrest start the same journey at a much younger age, it's amazing. We also need some basic things like sign lettering and paint.


Musical instruments ($4464)

$150 of this goal is reached so far)  $10 spent so far on a simple flute for our son Photo in updates

We love playing and learning new instruments, especially Forrest. Finding him miniature instruments is one of our funnest goals in life. Your help to catch up with that would be greatly appreciated to say the least. We have always wanted Tibetan singing bowls or hang drums..


Home & off grid appliances ($5555)

$350 of this goal is reached so far)  $0 spent so far

The best juicer in the world had nothing but 304 surgical grade stainless steel that touches your food. It's called the Angel Juicer and costs 1700 bucks for their new model. We will need a new mortar and pestle and funnels and a chopping board. We had a ton of non toxic stuff to dry/dehydrate foods, stick blender, sprout jar lids etc.


Books and other miscellaneous fun and important stuff ($1664)

$25 of this goal is reached so far)  $0 spent so far

We have a lot of books we lost that are just invaluable to us like “the Theory, History and Practice of Natural Hygiene” or our books on Ayurveda.


Personal hygiene( $1500 for 2022 )

$300 of this goal is reached so far)  $200 spent so far

Things like organic soap, neti pot, ear candling supplies, enema kit ect.


Emergency heated Arctic shelter ( 6000 )

More milking goats & other goat needs.. ($4000) 

$50 of this goal is reached so far)  $0 spent so far

More milking goats means more milk for our family 


Crystals ($4444)

$50 of this goal is reached so far)  $0 spent so far

The assortment of crystals that we had managed to a mass would have amazed you. They were wonderful to be around and an assortment of classes could be taught using them and we did just that. “I spent the night before our place burned down sleeping on the floor of my office after working on a free educational documentary all night.. How I often wish I had slept next to all the crystals we had on and around our bed.” Philip


Business supplies ($3600)

($150 of this goal is reached so far)  $0 spent so far

We had several wholesale distribution accounts for products we purchased most often or that we really wanted to help others have. Companies like ww.goldenratioproducts.com  we would love to get the products we had replaced and set up a “restart” order. The products not only increase our ability to thrive but also provide much needed funds every now and then. Again we would be open to partnerships.
