My new post at Art of Manliness is up, here’s a sneak peak, read full post here:
Thinking about men I admired, it dawned on me that most had a quiet contempt towards any excess of material possessions. Their expertise and confidence were displayed by the fact that they did not require much to live successfully. They could just as easily get along for a week in the woods with nothing but a knife as they could living in a posh suburban neighborhood with all its amenities. Possessions had no control over the trajectory of their lives. They were not gadget junkies, seeking their fix from the latest Best Buy sale. They were in control of the things they owned, not the other way around. Real manliness meant freedom from the bondage of material goods.

Hi Cam!
Hope you doing well.
I read the entire post on the Art of Manliness site, it was great! I really enjoyed reading it. It made me want to go home and get rid of all everything that I don’t need! I always enjoy reading everything you write
@ Miss Kenz,
Hey Kenz, thanks for reading it and for the comment! Are you excited for ski season to start again? I hope the Schaefer family can get out there for a ski vacation sometime in the next couple years. Hope all is well
I love your last principle, to hold on loosely. It’s befitting.
