I’ve a big thank you out to Toolman Tim Cook for inspiring me to write this post. If you’re not familiar with Tim, he’s on The Survival Podcast Expert Council, a fellow Firestarter on Fireside Freedom with me, and he’s got his own podcast and show. Now, back in April, Tim did a surprise livestream…
