Thunder 5 Ranch

Been a Good While since I announced that I was closing everything down and selling pretty much everything. That Was July 2020. A lot has changed in the world of MR. T5R since then.

Last May I purchased 40 acres and Cabin in the Ozarks in the foothills of the St Francois Mtn Range nestled in a valley in between 3 big hills at the end of a dead end road. It suits me :)

In August 2025 the Old Farm was sold and closed on. That was a kind of bitter sweet one. 20 years of me was there, the Thunder 5 Ranch was there, Dee's ashes are buried there. It just occurred to me that I was not going to be able to move forward with my life and would just stagnate there if I remained.

I met a great Lady in NC after I finished moving stuff from the farm to what is known as NewHome LOL. Lorrie and I have been together around 10 Months now and known each other longer. We are going to get married later in the Spring of 2026. After finishing the move from the Farm we started the moving her homestead from NC to Missouri my 300 mile round trips moving the farm was a cake walk compared to 2000 mile round trips to and from Coastal NC!

My life is that of a simple little homestead now and spending a lot of time exploring the Ozarks with Lorrie and planning out our 2026 Kayaking and Canoe trips on the Castor, St. Francis, Black and Current rivers. And honestly more content and happy doing this retired thing than I have ever been in my life :)

I do have a youtube channel that I occasionally upload a video to now and then if anyone wants to keep up with me.

Kamp Krap - YouTube Farmstead, Homestead, Prep stuff, keeping it real out here in the real world.
