For those who may be new here, my name is Brian Daniel Eisenberg. I am currently riding out the pandemic in the Greater Seattle Area. I own 40 acres of forested land at 3600′ elevation in the Tunk Valley, a place I call Iron Mountain Ranch, near Riverside, about 45 miles from the Canadian Border in North Central Washington State.
Before the Pandemic, I was living off-grid and spent most of my time working on my homestead and forest management program. This started in late 2014 after a wildfire burned the entire valley. I was living up there full time off-grid until the pandemic hit, when I decided to come back down to the Puget Sound to help support my folks and sister and her family.
This is my story…. it is long and convoluted and filled with hope, despair, joy, pain, and everything else that comes with the human condition. I will continue to expand on this as time permits.

Today was a good day. 02/02/2021 New hardware to setup another Pihole ad honeypot. #blockalltheads 02/02/2021Liquidated my entire crypto and stock positions on the Robinhood platform and have redeployed into new dollar cost averaged positions in $BTC, $ETH, and a nice bag of defi alts that are locked up in my Ledger Nano x. Ready for #altszn #crypto #bitcoin #ethereum #altcoins 01/25/2021. Fire destroyed the home where the last two pics below were taken. Sad to walk by, but nice to know that despite such tragedy and loss, nature finds a way to persevere . It was clear that the owner took great care to tend to this and a few other planter boxes. 🌱🌿01/25/202101/25/202120210121_212121.jpg
