I am still alive, still sober some how and not locked up either, just really been going thru it. I'm sorry I have been extremely quiet on here for awhile now. But as most of you know. I've been going thru a divorce. I had to leave the house may 1st.
I've been living out of a tent since may 1st. My health has gotten pretty damn bad, I was literally a few steps away from organ failure. I could barely walk 3 steps or speak a sentence without becoming really exhaust or extremely fatigued. My weight usually Flux around 220lb. Currently I am at 158lbs and it's fu***ng disgusting.
I do not currently have proper access to my shop which is/was the garage that I turned into my wood shop. Even if I did, i wouldnt have room to work as it now houses ALL of my belongings. I'm desperately trying to build a small 20x20 home to not only live in, but so my lil girl has somewhere safe and a place to be free to come to on my weekends with her. I absolutely refuse to let my lil girl see me living out of a tent, especially as long as I have been. I started the small home at the end of April, yet ive barely made much progress.
We also got a s**t ton of rain this summer which has slowed down any good chance of work down to hardly any, I also got hit with a dual eye, massive stye infection 4 different times as well since the end of April. There was a point in mid/late may that I had 11 styes in the right eye and 9 in the left at the same damn time, it cause the whole bridge across my nose to be as swollen as my eyes were. And trying to ride a motorcycle with swollen shut eyes absolutely sucks. I'll include pics of everything. Weight-loss (the beardless pic is of me at my rock bottom) the other 2 and the scale pic are from 1.5 maybe 2 months ago and ive lost ALOT more since then :-(, the heathen hut, swollen to s**t eyes, etc etc.
I'm desperately trying to have my hut up before winter comes, at this rate it is not looking like a reality. That scares the living s**t outta me, because at this weight (which I haven't been since I was 16, my rock bottom weight in active addiction was 170 and I'm below that) and health level is just trashed, I won't make it threw single digit temps this winter will bring. But any progress is progress. I will continue to move forward to the best of my abilities. I will either have this heathen hut up, or I'll die trying ๐ข.
Now I am designing and building it (the pic of a finished lean-to is just a visual example of what im aiming for), so I can have a small primitive workshop on the side of it. I'll be pretty much off grid, which I'm absolutely ok with and how I grew up for the most part. I just have to get there first, if I can. It will be a 20x20 lean-to cabin, with a 12ft front wall and a 10ft back wall, along with a small bit of loft storage, and im building it mostly from pallets and whatever donated building lumber I can get my hands on.
Sadly I do not have a pot to p**s in anymore. So I've tried to collect and gather as much free material as possible. With that said, if anyone local has any kinda lumber they don't want and are willing to let me have, and if you could possibly deliver it since my truck isn't legal. Then I'd be awfully grateful.
One of the very first few friends I made when I moved to PA back in 2015, offered me a bit of space in his 5 acres of woods, as long as I could collect and build something. I'm about 30ish min from my daughter, which I couldn't go any further then an hour from her, I'm glad I'm not an hour away cuz I'd never be able to make it to and see her smh already struggling enough being 30m away. I'm trying to be as present as I possibly can for her. So I started construction and my dear friend helps when he's able to. He's just as broken as I am. So if anyone is willing to lend a hand, or hel even give me pointers. I will accept without a 2nd thought.
I still have a few orders left to complete, and I gave you my word. So I WILL get them done as soon as I can. I worked on orders all the way up til it was my time to move out as of May 1st, because my customers were waiting, they were wanting and I gave my word. But that backfired on me greatly, because I shoulda used that time to look more for a roof over my head. Now that roof is priority above all else, otherwise I won't be in this realm to uphold my word to those few remaining customers to get them their orders when I'm able to fulfill them.
When I say I do not have a pot to p**s in, I mean that as serious as possible, being as transparent as possible here. My truck is down because the registration and insurance is dead, my vulcans registration is dead. All I have to get around is my sportster, which I can barely keep gas in its tank. I still need ALOTA materials as well. 8 Windows, metal/tin roofing sheets, wood stove, installation, house wrap, and some other things.
I apologize, but I HAD TO turn the notifications off for my business pages because it was all becoming to much, and several refuse to feel empathy towards my s**tty situation, never asked for pity. Just a bit of empathy was all. But getting yelled at and drilled when I worked my ass off to the best of my abilities up until literally the last day, when I coulda tried harder or had more time to find a safer living situation was just stupid on my part. But I gave you my word, and I hold to that like iron on my honor.
As I've said since day one when I launched this business. I want the world to know my fu***ng name. But with loosing literally EVERYTHING, that's just not a reality anymore. But I learned that with a pack, it's possible for the world to still know who the nordic wolf is. I wanted to help my community as best as I could, even tho it seems as if im failing at everything, one thing I am not is being a man. Only way I know how to do that, is by helping make better men for it. I am still very much (6y10m) sober and with everything I've been going thru, I have no clue how. But I am and that says something, I still have my honor, my recovery and my love that I share. So in the loss (legally) of my business Nordic Wolf Custom Carvings L.L.C, I started Nordic Wolf Brotherhood [MM] (
