Every day from my front porch, I watch the pair of Hawks that live on my land. Every evening, I see a beautiful own perched in one of my trees. And every night i see fireflies.

Having no neighbors definitely has its benefits.

It's a great book. Im surprised anyone on this site even knew what I was referencing. :cheers:
My grandpa was a redass.

We used to make traps with lard from butchering. Trip the trap when it was full of blackbirds. We'd kill so many we'd turn the snow red.

No more blackbirds issues.

No, but I have The Anarchist's Workbench by Christopher Schwarz.
I'm ready for tomorrow.

Here in Oklahoma, it's legal to run over protesters if youre blocked in and you fear for your safety.
Screwdrivers, SAE and metric sockets and wrenches, drill and drill bits, hammer and a few pairs of pliers will go a long way.

But I say that as someone who "collects" tools and probably has $40-50k in tools.

ETA--My pro tip woodworking tool that is not stupid expensive, is made in the USA, will last a lifetime and get you hooked on nice tools is a Lie-Nielsen "102 low angle block plane. A little work of art made of brass that I use on nearly EVERY project.

If youre handy, dont be scared to mount one yourself.

I ran 12 gauge Romex, installed a disconnect box, used a 3 1/2" or so hole saw, hook it up, put in a 240v 20 amp breaker, charge the line set and youre in good shape.

I put an 18k BTU in my woodshop and it works perfectly for temperature and humidity control. No issues with my big machines with cat iron surfaces, my planes, chisels or whatever.
Good. Im tired of my taxes paying for someone's 3rd chainsaw.

Hot damn. There's one scheduled in Durant, Oklahoma. I might take a drive into the town on Saturday to see how many handfuls of people show up.

Durant doesn't give a frick. Still has a Confederate monument outside the courthouse.


My wife sent this this Facebook screenshot from people from Durant talking about the protest Durant, OK.

I agree. But there's way too many low T "moderates" that think you belong here if you pick vegetables or can lay down shingles.

Nah every one of them can leave or be forcibly removed.

Florida is barely the "US" to me when it comes to wildlife and climate.
The newest vehicle I have is 6 years old. The oldest of the four is 21 years old.

I drive them until they go to the salvage yard.
I dont care about gig jobs going away. Those "contractor" positions are generally for people who are too lazy to shite, shower and shave and get a real job with a real schedule.

re: 1031 Exchange

Thanks. I think the values line up pretty well on paper, just different. Ones much more per acre than the hunting land.

re: 1031 Exchange

Yeah I will talk to someone if it gets further down the road.

The two properties aren't really similar. If I were to do a 1031, the only real estate I'd be interested in is a hunting ranch. I could say I "plan" to log it or lease hunting trips to generate revenue, but that's not my real intention.

I want some more hunting land and I want to not get butt fricked on capital gains, so I was hoping to kill two birds with one stone.

1031 Exchange

Posted by El Segundo Guy on 6/10/25 at 8:35 am
Im in the preliminary stages of exploring a 1031 exchange purchase for capital gains relief.

From what I gather, 45 days after selling, you have to identify up to 3 properties and close within 180 days. Is that correct?

Would a hunting parcel count as a 1031 if I "want the property to appreciate for potential future gains" be enough to suffice? I wouldn't be logging or leasing any of the new parcel.

Also, what if the new land was a higer pric3 than the sold land? Would it still provide capital gains relief and I'd just cover the rest of the balalnc3 on the new property?

I was hoping to spread stuff out over 2-3 years to minimize capital gains burden, but it doesn't look like that will be feasible. Im not worried about closing times, loan funding, etc. Both transactions would be stroking a check.
