Life in Hawaii’s Lawless Jungle, Explained​

Apr 13, 2026 #hawaii #documentary
Hawaii's Big Island is a trip - most of the island is this lawless jungle land where people live off the grid and make their own rules. We spent some time with a resident of Hawaii's Puna District to get the inside scoop on the way of life.
Here's the original Hawaii video we did on Puna: • I Investigated the Most Lawless Jungle In ...

All the Businesses are Dying! - A Walk through my Neighborhood​

May 9, 2026
A rant about greed and laziness.
The Post Apocalyptic Inventor tours a neighborhood in Cologne, documenting the recent trend of small businesses shuttering at an alarming rate. Through a walk within a 500-meter radius of a personal workshop, this exploration highlights the growing issue of vacant, deteriorating real estate and the rising costs that prevent new ventures from taking root.

Money-printing, gushing into the hands of the Financialist Class.

That is why. Moar money chasing a fixed supply of goods...prices rise.

I haven't watched the vid. Does this woman want moar Rent Control? The class that's rigged the securities market seems to think that EVERYTHING can be managed...wage and price controls, trackable crypto, limits on where **THOSE PEOPLE** may wander about. Cutoffs on cars - when we push a button, THEIR cars will STOP!

So, I'm not interested, anymore, in either the insane price rises, or what might be done to make Gnu Yuck liveable.

It can't be. Time to burn it down.
 
Does this woman want moar Rent Control?

Nah. She travels to different neighborhoods and tells some of the history of the place. Also goes into different businesses and talks about them.

Join Me for a Drive Over the Mackinac Bridge​

Drove across the bridge recently, and just happened to capture it on video.

Shee-itt.

I used to have to drive over that...to get to my bank. Or an ATM that took my card.

For a thrill...try riding over it on a heavily-loaded motorcycle. I did it three times. I almost got used to it...almost.

Most experienced riders aren't spooked. I was no n00b, but somehow I couldn't get comfortable.

The First Road to Reach the Arctic. Edge of Nowhere, Tuktoyaktuk.​

Aug 24, 2024
A trip to the Arctic Circle, is a bucket list trip for many people, but regardless of planning, prep and vehicle, is always a challenge. You can reach the Arctic Circle in North America, Asia and Europe, but here in North America the routes are limited. In Alaska, the Dalton Highway crosses into the Arctic Circle, but it does not reach the Ocean. The Dempster Highway in Canada, starting just south of Dawson City Yukon, runs northbound 1000 km through the Northwest Territories and ends in Tuktoyaktuk, the northern most town in Canada accessible by vehicle. Tuktoyaktuk is the very end of the road, and is situated right on the shoreline of the glorious Arctic Ocean.

When planning for this trip, we were told about all of the challenges, the risks and the remoteness, but nobody told us about the beauty. From start to finish, the Dempster Highway is an unbelievable experience. Having travelled 54 countries, I have a deep desire to travel abroad, soak in the views of foreign lands and foreign culture. I am so fortunate to be able to travel extensively my home country, but the desire to travel abroad is one that I cannot seem to shake, until encountering the Dempster. This Highway filled every bit of travel void for me. Km after km, the views of the Yukon and Northwest Territories hit me like those of a foreign land. Emi and I sat in silence most of the travel days, absorbing the views and letting the road do the talking. I am so very thankful for the opportunity I have to travel and work the way that I do, but like anything else, it is something one becomes accustomed to. The Dempster Highway on the other hand, was a trip I couldn't possibly have prepared myself for.

Amazing views aside, if you're planning a trip to the Canadian Arctic, it is incredibly important to prepare, because if you run into trouble, help is not on the way. The entire Dempster Highway is unpaved and poorly maintained, with only three fuel stops and only one mechanic shop. The road is built largely with broken shale, which can be very hard on tires. With a plug kit, a compressor and some basic tools, the trip to the top should be no problem. All in all, we had an unbelievable drive to the top, and I am so excited to be chasing stories in Tuktoyaktuk.

Canada USED to have a culture that was rooted in its environment. A culture of hard work and self-reliance, because of their low population density and severe weather. On my own trip to Alaska, 36 years ago, I found, on the Stewart-Cassiar Highway and the Alcan, some interesting people and outlooks.

And some interesting government involvement. On the Stewart-Cassiar, when you found a gas station, YOU STOPPED AND BOUGHT. Because those stations were planned and subsidized by the government - every 250 miles or so. Essentially the government (not sure if it was provincial or federal) backstopped the cost - picked the location, paid for construction, hired the family (always a family) to run it. And no, most times, there was no town there.

And with the hard weather and low pay, came a hard-boiled attitude. June 22, first day of summer (longest day, the sun barely set that night) I pulled up to an isolated station about 200 miles from the Watson Lake junction with the Alcan. I was of course low on fuel, from 250 miles back. It was a pleasant afternoon of sunshine, but it was 10:30 at night. Sign said, hours, 6 - 8.

There was nothing to do but spend the night there. So, right there at the pumps, I shut down, made up my bed in the back of my truck, and turned in. I had food and water, didn't immediately need anything else.

With the light, I didn't sleep well. Up at 5, bright sunshine, I slowly work out of the truck, walk around to get the blood flowing...and exactly at 6, out comes a boy about 12, to pump gas. "Yessir, what can we get you." As if I'd just pulled up.

I got the gas, and some fresh coffee, and headed on.

Point of all this is...Canada has had YUUGE migrant inputs. Canada before all this "immigration" was only 36 million, TOTAL. Turd-Dew wanted to import 40 million non-whites. Where did he get this idea - Davos, maybe?

That's not gonna work. Low intellect, the kind you find in Somalia or Ethiopia or India, doesn't go well with a harsh climate and need for self-reliance. Canada is not only going to become a Failed State - it is one now, in the early stages of failure.
