I've been living real clean and green lately.
I've been eating nothing but meat and I've been spending a lot of time in the wilderness.
First it was the mountains in northern Thailand, then it was the lakes of Texas, the mountains of Colorado, and the creeks of my hometown.
I've been doing my damnedest to get away from big cities recently and spend time in nature.
I have to say, I feel great. I'm healthier, stronger, and more energetic than I ever have been. When you get a chance to get away from the city I recommend you take it.
Today you can run any business from your phone. You can get wifi anywhere you go. The reason to be stuck in a city is gone.
Used to be, people had to go to the city to work in the factory or in the office. Today, if you are smart, your factory and your office is sitting in your pocket and you can take it with you anywhere you go, including the rivers, lakes, and mountains.
No reason to be glued to a stinky city today and, in fact, there are some pretty good reasons to get out of the city today. I will explain those reasons a little later, but first…
I haven't had coffee in a matter of months. Perhaps even a year. It's poison but there is no question that it helps you to write and/or create other art.
Tesla himself said that stimulants will kill you and we need them to do our best work. Damned if we do and damned if we don't, so I brewed some coffee and got to work.
I'm in the middle of building a big new project that should be a great new revenue steam. You can never have too many revenue streams, when one dries up you can live off of the other.
So many people are so damn lazy to create even one revenue stream when it's really so simple. The math works out like this:
Do the work once, collect the checks forever.
They would rather do the work never and collect the checks never and complain forever.
It's a funny thing, they all complain about money, they all complain about working a job they hate, but when given the secret key to wealth they choose to do nothing.
Too bad for them, but people can live any way they want to live. As long as I have dollars in my pocket I don't really give too much of a damn if they choose to have dollars or not.
Speaking of dollars, the US is a real weird place. Everybody is sick, everybody goes to the doctor to get some kind of pills to fix their malady, then everybody eats food out of a box or a can.
I say “hey” and tell them they'd magically be better if they started eating real food and stopped going to the doctor. Guess what they say? Nothing. It's like they don't even hear it.
They think they can harm themselves all day and night eating foodstuffs created in a factory and then magically get better by taking some pill.
You just want to scream: “Good god man! you have to fix the root of the problem. No pill is ever going to fix you eating trash.”
If you never change the oil in your sports car it's going to get sick and have to go see the mechanic all the time. If you put good gasoline and frequently change the oil in your car it will be healthy and last you forever. If you don't, it won't.
It's as simple as that but these people aren't really simple anymore. They do everything backwards.
When I order bacon at a restaurant they put bacon in the microwave to cook it! Can you believe that? They can't even cook the easiest food in the world, they put it in the microwave and nuke all the nutrition out of it.
If you want to be healthy here you have to buy and prepare all of your own food. If you don't you're going to be fat like a cow and sick like everybody here.
(Say what you want about Thailand but when you order food it is actually cooked and prepared and never microwaved.)
They say you can't get good grassfed beef in America but I have to disagree. On the trip to the dirty city of Denver I saw thousands of beef out to pasture. I only saw one industrial feedlot that was void of grass.
I saw many happy cows roaming around the fields eating their grass. Of course you have to pay an arm and a leg for the grass-fed beef that used to be free in your backyard, but if you want to be healthy you must pay.
Grandma grew up on a farm in Colorado. They kept beef, pork, and chicken as well as a vegetable garden. They had fresh real food everyday, now we eat foodstuffs from a factory.
All our animals today are castrated or female so the men never get to eat the good testosterone enhancing meat. We only eat estrogenic meat.
Someone told my grandma that testosterone spoiled the meat and that after the beef is castrated the meat tastes better.
My grandma said “When daddy wanted beef he would always slaughter a steer, it was the best meat.”
(A steer is a castrated bull so apparently the best meat is castrated meat.)
Grandma grew up eating real food straight from the backyard. We've all moved to the city and started eating industrial waste.
They say the world is overpopulated but it isn't. Traveling the world has taught me one thing: The world is much smaller than we think it is.
You run into the same people over and over again. The countryside is basically completely empty, people only live in the cities today.
A smart fella might buy some county land, some cattle, some goats, some chickens, a few guns, create a business online instead of wasting away in the city, and live a real healthy life the natural way.
Speaking of killing, I've been doing some fishing lately. These homosexual men go to therapy and they meditate and do all kinds of ridiculous things to wind down but what they don't do is go fishing.
Grandpa went fishing and he wasn't homosexualized like these “dudes” today. Fishing is the real meditation for men.
You came back from war and you have some made-up illness like PTSD? Go fishing. You'll get better.
You're some estrogenized rat stuck in a city and you're going crazy? Go fishing. You'll get better.
Lift weights too. That's pretty much it. Eat real meat, lift weights, go fishing. Have children too. They all lied to us about how much of a burden children are.
They say children will ruin your life and we fell for it. Children are a blessing, not a curse.
You know what I've learned in this world? There is no sunshine without children. Have a bunch of them and take them fishing.
Everything is fine, fella. That's the truth. Stop worrying about bills and buying stuff and just go live your life the way you want.
Just don't listen to the way they tell you to live: “Get a job, go into debt, pay bills, BUY! BUY! BUY!”
You don't need much but a fishing pole, a pocket knife, and a phone or laptop with a simple internet connection.
What good is working that job if it robs you of your soul, your time, and ultimately your life? Especially considering that making money is so easy and all you're doing is making your life hard.
Spend 8 or 10 months (or 5 years or whatever) building a business and then spend your life free. That's the life you were meant to have. That's the life nature wanted you to have.
We are not supposed to live in prison cities producing goods for the masters. You are meant to produce only for you and your own.
They've conned you into thinking your own people are the enemy and that the masters are your friend. “Produce for the masters and fuck your family” and you fell for it.
A fishing pole will feed your family, a job will rob your family.
“But I have to work a job to feed my family! Money doesn't grow on trees!” Money doesn't grow on trees but wood does, wood is how you build a house.
Food is in the lake, river, and ocean. It's also running around out there in the wilderness. Real food is free. The food you buy is made in the masters factory. It's industrial waste and you eat it like a pig eats slop.
Real food is free! Shoot the animal and eat it. Turn over rocks to find worms, put the worms on a hook, put the hook in the river, catch a fish, gut it, make a fire, cook it, eat it.
Free, you see, everything good is free. You pay for poison. You pay for your misery. You pay to be a slave.
You spend all day making products for the master, the master gives you some dollars and you turn around and buy products giving the money back to your master.
You work for shit. People who live out in the forest live in luxury and you live in poverty in the city. You pay for water. Look around you guy, water is free.
They have convinced you to pay for what is abundant in nature. They put chemicals into your water and make you sick and retarded and you pay for it.
You are an animal and they treat you like an animal. They are predators and you are prey. They are wolves and you are livestock.
It's.
All.
In.
The.
Mind.
And if you aren't the master, your mind is weak and you have no power of will.
To make your willpower strong, start saying the magic word.
The magic word is not abracadabra, the magic word is…
“No.”
No is the magical word which says: “I refuse to lose. I refuse to be a slave. I am the master of my own destiny.”
Yes is also a magic word. “Yes” says: “I know exactly what I want. There is no confusion in my mind.”
Start saying “no” and start saying “yes”, these are the 2 words of power. With each word you add, you add weakness.
- Weak: “No, because blah blah blah”
- Strong: “No”
- Weak: “Yes, because blah blah blah”
- Strong: “Yes”
See the difference?
Yes?
Good. Now I must go. Your lesson in liberty is over, cut the chord to the master and become the wolf you were born to be.
Come back to me when you are free.
I'm going to go fishing and when I come back I'm going to see how much money I made while I was gone fishin' in the mountains.
That's it for me.
Until next time.
Your man,
-Victor Pride
Big cities are a damned if you do, damned if you don’t kinda thing.
I have been living in Mexico City for awhile. Here in Mexico you have 180 days on a tourist visa before you have to exit the country. Last stay, I was in Mexico City for all 180 of those days.
I decided to spend a few days on a very small island off the coast of belize. It took 40 minutes by speedboat to get there. After the 2nd day, my body felt like new. I was waking up with the hardest erections of my life. I was waking up with the rooster on the island and sleeping like a baby. I felt really damn good - and strong. The clean caribbean air, salt water, and sunlight made me feel like a million bucks.
When I returned to the big city the erections and quality of sleep went away. My body was instantly polluted.
The good thing about the big city is that it’s motivating. I see rich people everyday and the most beautiful women you can imagine.
The convenience of having things like amazon prime delivery, pizza delivery, and lightning fast connections are great.
I love being here, but after I take what’s mine I’m going back to that island for awhile.
Great comment, Blayde.
Every article is like an adventure.
Thank you, mentor.
My pleasure, Vlad.
“There is no sunshine without children”
This is the truest thing ever written………
Amen to that
Uncle Vic,
Do you use any of these Adobe programs like photoshop for example?
I actually want to know how you edit your blog pictures.
They look very beautiful.
Kind regards,
Jamo
Check out Canva. It’s free and simple. Plenty of tutorials on youtube also.
Badmin does most of the artwork, he uses photoshop.
Couldn’t agree more Victor.
Recently I went on a two week vacation into Switzerland. It was simply amazing. I had the energy to walk around mountains all day and I ate raw meat in the evenings. Wonderful!
I will be starting to build my own income stream very soon.
Good luck with your projects and see you in Walhalla someday.
My man.
Cosigning this. Switzerland is probably in top three most beautiful places on earth. They’re very free there in every sense of the word.
First direct voting for everything. I don’t care about this as government is for suckers but its nice that people can vote on what they feel strongly about and there’s no lying.
Secondly each canton or district is utterly unique has its own cultural identity and traditions, even down to the cheese they eat its all different. And when I mean cultural identity I mean native Swiss. Swiss Italian areas are so different to Swiss German areas, or Catholic and protestant and so on.
Third they actually had a plan in up until 2013 where they’d destroy all their own bridges and entrances to the country if they were ever invaded. They even went so far as to mine every single bridge. They are so self sufficient and know the value of the land so well they would risk isolation than let it fall into the wrong hands. Now they’ve replaced the mined areas with special drones in the event of any kind of invasion.
Fourth the people are amazing and kind and the women can be gorgeous. Swiss Italian women have a sexiness that can’t be beat. Swiss German women make a man broody and want to settle down and have a lot of children.
Fifth it’s expense to live in deters anyone but the best. I visited my friend and if I didn’t stay at her place my trip would have been super expensive.
Sixth a lot of local products and natural products for food consumption, water is pure.
Seventh is something you have to go there to experience but you just basically feel like a happier person.
I love big cities but I also mourn the quiet and peace of the forest once I´m there.
Your article is a masterpiece like always. Need to go back to work so I can live the life I want. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Alexander. I like big cities too.
Well said.
Thanks Louie.
I agree, if you want real freedom to live the good life, decide to walk out of the rat race and create a future for yourself by harnessing the power of the internet. Anyone in the western world is capable of achieving this. I am living proof.
Thanks to wisdom from artists like yourself, I have created a freedom that seemed like a fantasy 5 years ago.
Now, I do what I want, when I want, with whoever I want.
I work because I want to not because I have to. I am in control of my destiny.
Good health, a purpose, and a couple grand in the bank each month will afford you this freedom.
The only thing I disagree with is the ptsd comment. Having lost 5 friends to ptsd after combat, I can assure you it’s not as simple as “go fishing.”
Otherwise, great article.
Cheers
Ace
Great comment, Ace.
I echo the same sentiment about ptsd. When your brain is injured from an IED blast, while your also getting shot at everyday, it changes you. If it wasn’t for my dad I don’t know if I would have made it. He was a seal in Vietnam. There was no hiding the dark place I was in, he could see right through it all. He intervened hard in my life with all the right tools. We just did a father/son pistol competition yesterday and took hom first. Life has been good.
Vic,
I contemplated sending this in an email but I thought it would be better suited as a comment in this post as it perfectly fits with what I want to say.
I stumbled upon B&D back in 2014. At that time in my life I was busting my as at a well paying managementjob that was extremely demanding and had me on call pretty much 24/7.
I wasn’t exactly miserable but I certainly felt like something was wrong in my life…something missing…and I felt sick to my stomach when I considered that I would have to be confined to this lifestyle until I could maybe retire as an old fart who wasted the best years of his life working to make someone else rich.
Your writings spoke into existence all the feelings that I had and struck a major chord with me. I wanted more purpose, I wanted to build something great, I wanted my own success, and I wanted FREEDOM.
I signed up for BADNET and created a website.
It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. And my website now make more per week than that management job.
But it took time….2 years before the money came. And it took creativity to get the money coming my way.
I wonder how many people sign up for BADNET and never see it through because they don’t stick with it long enough to achieve the success?
Ya know, looking back, most of my earlier articles were pretty much B&D rip offs and I want to apologize to you for that. Seems to be a whole bunch of that going on with other websites. People see a winning formula and want to join the band wagon and I’m sure that’s just human nature. I did it because you work impacted me so much and it was the only blog I had read other than JohnDoeBodybuilding.
I eventually found my own voice, and found my own formula. That’s when the success came. And I absolutely love creating content that I know people need and want.
What is unusual is That other things started coming to me when I found B&D. I started reading books on financial freedom and getting out of this wage slave mindset that so many people are trapped in.
I found a book called Rich Dad, Poor Dad and found out about real estate.
You teachings lead me there though.
Today. I have a successful website that brings in good money, has allowed me to make connections with other entrepreneurs all over the world, and brings a shit load of happiness.
I created a property management company and a real estate rental business that brings in damn good money and is my main focus now. There are a ton of online tools that make this easy as hell! ( website called cozy that collects my rent check and does all my background checks)
I CAN OPPERATE BOTH MY WEBSITE AND MY RENTAL BUSINESS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WITH MY PHONE!!!!
And it’s way easier then that management job.
So for the time being, I’m still building those two things up. But I plan on retiring from the wage slave management job in about 2 or 3 years.
For me this means retirement at 34.
This means getting to spend more time watching my kids grow up and doing things that really matter like picking them up from school everyday.
This means being happy in life.
Thank you Vic for doing what you do. I may have never found my path had I not discovered your work 4 years ago.
Thanks again
Scott
My man! Thanks for the great comment, Scott.
Awesome man. Could’nt agree more!
Thanks Cody.
“It’s a funny thing, they all complain about money, they all complain about working a job they hate, but when given the secret key to wealth they choose to do nothing.”
I meet people like that all the time, and when I show them how they can make money online with the skills they have, I get excuses.
Hey Vic, great article. I have a question. Before you talked about avoiding marriage & kids. Now you are preaching about having kids. What changed? And are you planning to have any? Kids are not a burden but they are definitely expensive & limit your freedom. Once you have them you can’t just pick up and leave to travel anywhere whenever you want like you do.
Anything I said before is also true. 2 opposites can be true at the same time. Marriage and kids is a nightmare and there is no sunshine without children.
I guess you have to avoid starting family until you are successful man.
Im saving all the money I can. Working on my business. Leaving to another country because America has no feeling of belonging anymore.
“America has no feeling of belonging anymore.”
This is unfortunately true.
You are horribly wrong about eating meat and you will destroy karma of thousands of people who follow you blindly. You will destroy your karna also for many reincarnations followed by this life where you will become factory farm animal and will be killed with more brutality(with interest)
Stop spreading evil by promoting meat eating
Like I said, veganism and vegetarianism is a religion.
Hahaha.
I tried being vegan and I was posting comments like this 6 years ago. After I started eating meat I became sane and calm again.
And after eating raw meat after your post on it I felt I became superman. My senses became stronger and I became super calm.
I have yet to try ‘bull meat’ but that day will come very soon.
To the vegan speaking of karma: Good luck with sustaining your diet, your day of reckoning will come very soon.
“After I started eating meat I became sane and calm again.”
I don’t bother to argue with vegans as they are not sane or calm. Here’s a very nice example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obhOrf-6LYk
Wow. That is one scary video.
But those people choose it themselves.
Survival of the fittest
DAMN
I aint going on a diet that makes me look like im in chemotherapy
Source for Everything I said was Hinduism. Not veganism as you are saying. And power of karma is beyond imagination . I stated all this because I have seen you understanding and writing about hindu philosophies on this site. Law of karma does work and if you kill or pay someone to kill a bird or an animal you will get pain and misery. There is no other way about it.
Eating meat or not. Everybody will feel pain and misery. Everybody will be death. That is the truth. You want to live without pain and misery? How can you progress as Human being?
You are insane if you think not eating meat will make you life no misery no pain.
Without pain and misery you are weak.
There are no other laws than nature’s laws. Aninals also kill each other. Not for sport but for survival.
If you eat all the meat and treat animals right you’re actually gaining good karma.
The energy and power of meat will make you strong so you can do lots of good in the world.
Hey Vic,
Great message as always!
Quick heads-up… A steer has been castrated.
Thanks Tusco.
This post is another.

Damn! Hell of consistency … always the coldest blog …. heaps of thanks Vic
What a great article. I agree with all you have written.
Great blog. This is exactly the lifestyle I’m carving out for myself. These days cities are starting to look and function as prisons.
Hate to sound negative here but you ain’t going to achieve none of that in England. We’re just way too overcrowded now and government are hell bent on cramming even more houses into green belt to create more mortgages for banks. Just a small patch of land will cost you a fortune, cheap land in the middle of nowhere will be barren as sand. Nonetheless I like the idea of living in a house out in the country away from all the traffic, pollution and all of the people caught up in the same trap. I dream of it everyday and am trying to learn online trading stocks/options/derivatives as a way of escaping my office job and making the dream happen. My main 2 challenges are finding the right learning material online in the trap laden jungle that is the internet, and finding the time to do it around my job and trying to get fit, housework, cooking and shit etc. I don’t watch TV anymore, I don’t socialise anymore and fuck me I refuse to go to shopping malls to buy shit I don’t need!
I personally would not get into day trading or “gambling”. Been there done that, made a decent amount of money, then last it all, plus most of my capital. Youll never beat the market. If you want to try, I recommend you open up a FOREX trading account, then fund it with 2000.00 , and start with small positions. This will give you a feel for how the markets trade. and that’s all youre doing with trading…Youre capturing a movement, either up or down. It makes no difference what you trade, currency, stocks, bitcoin, lumber..Its all the same. I suggest you start a tangible business, what do you enjoy, what are you knowledgable about, what gets you excited..start small and see where it goes..Best of luck!
Yet again, a work of art.
The coffee has done you good, Vic.
Oh yeah, bring back the Full Color Godcast. Pretty please. It was perhaps the best podcast I’ve ever listened to.
Thanks Victor.
It’s very interesting to hear you echo the very thoughts that have been heavy on my mind lately regarding the insanity of urbanization and the freedom of the country. With internet connectivity available damn near anywhere in the country you can now have it all, and yet the masses are still pouring into the cities literally by the thousands every single day. Almost every metro area in the country complains of a housing crisis with double digit year over year increases in the real estate market. Many cities are on water rations. And yet there’s more wide open space than ever.
Beyond the other million good reasons to ditch the city, the contrarian investor in me sees what the masses are doing and automatically wants to go the other way. For the price of a luxurious box in a nice urban neighborhood you can annoint yourself lord of your own country estate. You can rule your own domain in the literal, physical sense and suffer no neighbors, no noise pollution, no air pollution, no water pollution or rationing and provide for yourself all the essentials of the good life directly from your own dirt. This is the ancestral good life, the life that used to only be available to the noble class, and the life that all the major players across history would fight to the death to maintain. Now days you can simply walk over and buy it for a relative pittance.
Peope talk a lot about the horrors of what AI and robots are going to do to society: they’re going to take all our jobs, and leave us all penniless in the streets (of the cities we’re trapped in). People worry about economic collapse, or war with Russia or China, or civil war, or a thousand other doomsdays. The people that worry about those things probably live in cities or suburbs. They aren’t lords of their own domains, they’re in someone else’s domain and worry that the lords that prevail there might one day decide they don’t need them anymore. And in the near future, they probably won’t. So where would you rather be?
The irony of all this is….
once you start making LOADS and LOADS of money, you get to a phase where you realize you don’t really need to buy much. You start spending less and therefore you “save” more… (although you can spend anything you want and not worry about money because you make so much money)…
but why buy something that doesn’t give you return of value?
Only buying worthy investment and the biggest worthy investment is YOU, Inc.
Try drinking mountain water, BIG difference … you can actually taste the real minerals from the water…
Drinking water from water bottle you buy at grocery store? No thanks….. Once you start drinking mountain water, there is no going back.
The food we eat today has less nutritional value than the food generations ago. Soil is also losing quality and there is readily available (many carbs of empty nutrition fast food) that only makes you full and tricks your body into eating more and more to try to gain some vitamins and nutrition —… only to get you more fatter and fatter) …
You can work for your boss all you want (the world does need positions to fill for workers) but think about this… the boss will give you all the credit for your work (making you “feel” good), and give you feel good names like “operational manager” or “marketing executive” or something along that line to give you some feeling of importance with such ‘titles’ but you realize you end up with same pay and having to work for more hours.
easy to complain, harder to change
we have all the convenience we have today where you can order any food you want to eat online and now even get uber driver delivery giving you outback steak right to your door, have access to money making tools on internet, watch anything you want with click of a button, read anything online (without having to go to library), do all sorts of stuff… easy but yet people are depressed and tired. If you make something so easy and readily available, people are going to be lazy. Of course they have to be working BUT working FOR THEMSELVES…
Men cannot lose the ability to “hunt”… Men love working, it’s just that we are not meant to work for other people. We are meant to work for ourselves and our family. You can lie to your face all you want by saying you need to go to a job to feed your family but what you are doing is robbing away your time from your family. The time you could have spent more with your family, you fill that by working so you can make more money not realizing that you are actually losing money that way because your pay is same (you contribute more to the company than what you are worth —- the whole point of employee anyways), lose time and your time to be spent with family is gone… so ask yourselves honest question… is that something you call it good for the sake of family? …
When you can get basic shelter, basic food, why work for other people? …
That’s no wonder why you can write inspirational articles. You experience a great life, Victor.
I’ve lived on a farm for a month in Turkey (Sinop). We eat nothing but fresh meat, milk, egg and fresh vegetables from the garden.
Also, wrestling is our ancestor sport. I know how valuable things we have in our culture as I got older. Wrestling makes you a hell of a strong guy if you do it in a young age. Basically builds up your foundation.
My father is 68 years old, and he still beats me in arm wrestling. He looks like 45 and has giant forearms. Because he always ate natural and did nothing feminine. He took cold showers, loved swimming in the sea. He fixes every stuff mechanically. He doesn’t shit in modern toilets, he always squats down.
But, Turkish men are getting feminine too. I was 20 that I realized how feminine I am. Then I started to fix this shit. I am still fixing it. Your blog is a great fuel in this process. Actually, it inspired me to quit my job and create my own blog…
I sincerely thank you for being a MAN, unlike those effeminate ladyboys.
Great comment!
Nice article.
Is there a was to get Access to your Full Color Godcast? „Like G-Eazy said, none of this is happening by accident“ loved that one. Do i want it back? Yes.
Thanks Floriao.
Victor,
You have a way with words that fires people up and fills them with a call to action.
Many thanks, may the best of your today’s be the worst of your tomorrows.
Thanks Alex.
I got a vicarious thrill just thinking about the life you’re living, Vic. Wish my online business was mature enough to allow me to head to the mountains at will.
Diet is a topic, like almost all others, that most folks respond to in a “black or white” fashion. The truth is in the gray. Interestingly, people on either side: “Vegan only!” or “Raw beef liver only” tend to be deluded or even outright insane, as in the case of the malnourished vegans in the video you posted or someone like Sv3rige.
I’m a vegetarian who makes sure to eat milk and eggs (and plenty of butter) so I know I’m not compromised nutrition-wise. As an experiment, though, I decided to try the vegan diet in a remote village. After a month, I expected to feel weak and lethargic with only raw fruits and vegetables, but instead, I felt superhuman, even better than I had in my big city home eating meat and eggs almost daily.
I’m beginning to think that while nutrition is important, the etheric atmosphere around you is paramount for good health. People who eat raw meat and/or raw veggies and raw milk derive Mother Nature’s sustenance as she meant to give it to us, devoid of the molestation we call “cooking” or even worse “pasteurizing”. Add to that the myriad beneficial bacteria found in raw vegetables, milk, and meat, and everything really makes sense.
Ultimately, I think everything comes down to inflammation. Processed crap and processed environments inflame your body, which in turn leads to every illness on the planet. “Doctors” can come up with 45,324 different names for supposedly separate illnesses but this idiotic piece-meal approach, which is what you find in the USA, is essentially what causes all of our problems.
We do have a real issue in terms of mineral deficiency though; but as Vic has written before, if you’re taking zinc supplements, you should mostly be OK.
The hedge fund managers have figured out the game of life. They spend their mornings working in the big city, soaking up the energy of 10,000,000 hungry acheivers handling more money than Croesus, and they then get on their helicopters and jet back to their villas in the Catskills, where they enjoy fresh food and quietude.
Many blessings!
Viktor
Thanks Viktor!
Hey are you still in Colorado?
You’re articles have aged well and I’m glad to hear you’re still going strong.
Negative.
Just wondering. I’m here visiting family. You have inspired me to go on my own travels from Southern Europe, to Vietnam and many more to come. For that, thank you.
Usually I like your articles but sometimes you write some stupid bullshit like “meditation is for homosexuals”.
But I guess you’d rather go fishing in your husbands yacht than meditate or do something that is beneficial to a ton of people.
Cry more.
What happened to John Doe? He hasn‘t posted in over a half year.
Taking a break.
The country is great and all, but the big city is where the puss* is at!!!
Great piece. I travel all the time. Workout twice a day eat twice a day spend time in nature every day. Sprint every day. No coffee no dairy shit. No alcohol. No tobacco. No meat. I’ve never felt sooo fucking energized in my entire life.
But i don’t know what’s your problem with meditation. I do it every day for 1-2 hours. My mind has become so focused. I am so concentrated and calm and collected at the same time. Whatever i put my mind to, works out easy. Women have become a fucking nuance coz i swear they walk up to me all the time, asking me out etc. My sleep quota has gone down significantly. I sleep about five hours. My eyes pop open and i am ready to go. Full of energy. If this is homosexual then it’s good to be a faggot.
Nice article. Thankfully I’m in a small city in Georgia. Ten minute ride I can be in the middle of nowhere. I agree with the fishing especially fly fishing. Hunting is also a must. Ive always liked eating bucks better than does its a gamier taste.Hell I shoot squirrels with my 22 pellet rifle in the front yard to throw on the grill every so often. There is now a goat in the backyard and there will be more along with chickens, quail and rabbit. Garden is growing my wife is canning and cooking and our 1 year old daughter is healthy and active. Yes kids I thought were a curse but coming in a room and seeing her little face light up and say daddy or dada makes my world brighter. Reading to her and having her outside with the animals or garden is something I can’t quite put into words but great. I will be 37 soon and already this year started a business that im focusing on and will eventually be out of the field, then im starting another in houses, then another in cars, then another in goats. Thanks Victor and to all those who smoke weed fucking stop it!
My man!
Thanks for helping those of us who knew better get back on the path.
New devlopment. I’ve been asked to head up our local youth wrestling program. Ages 5-12. Surprisingly they are paying me well for two nights a week. After much thought on where it fits into my schedule and the difference it could make I accepted today. There are stipulations I am putting on the highschool and middle schools. First I need two kids fom both schools to join me for each practice. They must learn how to teach and become mentors. Also there must always be two at the four tournaments the team will be attending. Secondly the coaches will help me find kids that are diagnosed with add or dyslexia and boys that are stuck in single mom homes first. I would like to ask you a few questions on a matter that might help these future men. Prehaps in a email.
so beautiful to see different personalities find the same path, Michael Mason, goldmund, me
It’s true. When I went hiking in the Colorado Rockies I got a chance to taste a stream. People will always tell you, “don’t drink that, you can get sick!” but in the winter where there is nearly no wildlife at 13,000+ ft, I think it’s okay. (Plus, it was winter.)
Drinking that ice-cold water was the most satisfying experience. No bottle of Voss or brand-name water, even those $10/bottle waters can match that.
You can learn to discover yourself in the mountains.
That’s great you’ve given up coffee. Do you still take kratom?
Dear Victor.
I’ve tried to get on the boldanddetermined email list with my home email adres but so far I’m not receiving the B&D newsletter. I’ve sent you a Pm. Can you add me manually to the email list?
Thanks in advance!

You keep nestling information about coffee in your articles – would you dedicate a post entirely to caffeine? Thanks!
Great article as usual and very much as I see life. So ready to leave the big city life behind or to a large degree. With costs absolutely skyrocketing in the cities and suburbs and even getting into the city from the burbs, folks should seriously considering moving for good. The net has changed all. It is so not normal to work for some dude in an office after commuting one or two hours or even more. Totally disturbing, exhausting and money limiting in most cases.
President Trump mentioned the costs of housing have gone up way too much due to insane levels of immigration over the years. Pre 1965 we were letting in about 250 thousand people per year. Now we are well over 1 million per year and that is just legal immigration. Then throw in all the kids they have. Most move to the predictable areas when they immigrate here. Cally, New York, New Jersey, etc. Housing cannot keep up for all the demand and prices skyrocket. Throw in all the foreign buyers as well. Then infrastructure cannot keep up, either. So you get to pay more to live worse in the big cities and surround burbs.
Through much of America’s history what did people do? They got a piece of land, worked the land and occasionally went into town to buy and trade. The commute from their working the land was about 50 steps away.. lol.. Now it can be enough to drive a sane person insane. It is not normal and totally stupid today. Thus, the areas where it’s away from the main cities and burbs is far smarter, cheaper, relaxing and can be done in this era as you say simply through a phone or a computer at home. People change as they age too. What you did at 28 you no longer can or want to do at 40 or 50. So much of life is wasted on commuting, worrying about paying the mortage or rent. In a short life? Screw that! Great article as usual, Victor!
Nice comment. Totally agree with you.
Yes this is so true. I love going on vacation to a quite place full of clean meat and green everywhere. It refreshes me mentally and spiritually.
Very good.
I’ve been looking into several different skills and ways to diversify my income and have multiple cash flows (including several you’ve mentioned) because my gig in construction feels good to be productive and contributing, but it don’t cut it for what I need in life.
Are you living in the USA again?
This country has its problems, but every good native son like you is an exponential positive on the freedom it was originally designed for.
Take care and stay winning bud.
Thank you for this, Victor. I haven’t been on your blog in a while… today I come back and I find one of the best articles you’ve ever written.
Been thinking a lot of the same things lately. I long for nature. Cities are perverse. Too many people, too much competition, everyone is in a bad mood. We didn’t evolve to live like this. Who the fuck wants to be a nobody among millions of other nobodies. The traffic, crowds, noise, pollution, the PLASTIC and CHEMICALS everywhere — makes me want to puke.
We have gone too far. Civilization seemed like a great idea on paper, but I’m not impressed with the results. Now they want to unleash A.I. and genetic engineering. Once they open that Pandora’s Box, there won’t be no going back. I’m not scared or anything, just sad. We don’t need any of that — what we need is clean air, the sun, to move our bodies and talk to people we can trust. Who can you trust in a city?
I used to love big cities. Perhaps I still do. I had a great time in Saigon a few months ago. But I’m getting sick of the plastic everywhere and the cheap foodstuff. I’ll enjoy the city life for a few more years, but in a decade or two I know what I’m going to do: buy some land, some livestock and some guns, like you said. I was literally thinking the same thing.
Also, kids. Goddammit I want to get some girl pregnant. I don’t even care whom, any girl. I just want to have sex the way it’s supposed to happen. Condoms, pills, all these things are perverse. Useful, but perverse. I turned 30 last month and it all seems so vapid now. Where are my children?
We’ve got it all backwards. No wonder everyone is unhappy in the West, and increasingly in the rest of the world. The more we run away from Nature, the more we are harming ourselves. Demigods we are not — we are animals too. I’m telling you, chimps and bonobos have it better than us. They stayed true to their form while we went down this crazy path.
I don’t need money… all I need is clean air and good food and sex. Ironically, you can’t escape the city and find your island without money. So you need money in order not to need it. (Am I making any sense?)
Anyway, to hell with everyone. Especially their politics. Everything is so silly. I’ll be gone for a few days too, there’s a mountain in Romania I want to hike.
Thanks again for a much-needed article.
“We are not supposed to live in prison cities producing goods for the masters. You are meant to produce only for you and your own.
They’ve conned you into thinking your own people are the enemy and that the masters are your friend. “Produce for the masters and fuck your family” and you fell for it.
A fishing pole will feed your family, a job will rob your family.
“But I have to work a job to feed my family! Money doesn’t grow on trees!” Money doesn’t grow on trees but wood does, wood is how you build a house.
Food is in the lake, river, and ocean. It’s also running around out there in the wilderness. Real food is free. The food you buy is made in the masters factory. It’s industrial waste and you eat it like a pig eats slop.
Real food is free! Shoot the animal and eat it. Turn over rocks to find worms, put the worms on a hook, put the hook in the river, catch a fish, gut it, make a fire, cook it, eat it.
Free, you see, everything good is free. You pay for poison. You pay for your misery. You pay to be a slave.
You spend all day making products for the master, the master gives you some dollars and you turn around and buy products giving the money back to your master.
You work for shit. People who live out in the forest live in luxury and you live in poverty in the city. You pay for water. Look around you guy, water is free.
They have convinced you to pay for what is abundant in nature. They put chemicals into your water and make you sick and retarded and you pay for it.
You are an animal and they treat you like an animal. They are predators and you are prey. They are wolves and you are livestock.
It’s.
All.
In.
The.
Mind.
And if you aren’t the master, your mind is weak and you have no power of will.
To make your willpower strong, start saying the magic word.
The magic word is not abracadabra, the magic word is…
“No.”
No is the magical word which says: “I refuse to lose. I refuse to be a slave. I am the master of my own destiny.”
Extremely powerful.
You’re probably the best writer in the “Manosphere” that I know of.
Thank you
I am fortunate enough to live close to Tasmania and fully agree with this article. We are not meant to live in a concrete jungle.
