Progress Photo – Bucked Up Ambassador – Deer Antler Velvet

I guess you could say things are going pretty well. I am now down 90 lbs. from my maximum, I’m below 10% body fat, I got a small(so far) sponsorship from TheFeed.com and am now a Bucked Up ambassador!

Bucked UP makes products with the deer antler velvet which contains IGF-1. IGF-1 stands for Insulin-like growth factor 1 which is supposed to aid in muscle, bone, tissue, repair and growth. I used their deer antler spray for quite awhile and do believe it to work, I’m definitely getting more now that I’m an ambassador and want to review everything! Here is a link to the deer antler velvet spray.

Bucked UP makes a bunch of pre-workouts, and I can say without a doubt the ingredients in them do work. Ingredients such as , L-Citrulline, Caffeine, Creatine, Beta Alanine etc. Amino acids like L-citrulline and Beta Alanine are proven to work, they are the first supplements I really started taking lately and some of the ones I take most commonly. L-Citrulline for vascularity , blood flow, circulation and thus muscle building. Beta Alanine gives you tingling skin but helps to prevent lactic acid build up and fatigue allowing you to go further. I have taken this stuff after cramping to keep going.

There are several other ingredients in the Bucked UP formulas each of which I will be talking about later, but for now I’d like to compare to what I do at home. At home I have probably 30 or more bags from BulkSupplements.com , 6 or more of which I would need to use to “recreate” most of a BuckedUP preworkout mix. I usually would spend a couple minutes doing this, and the cost of all those bags may end up in the hundreds of dollars yet would be hundreds of servings… My concoction wouldn’t have the deer antler velvet and certainly wouldn’t taste as good. I’d recommend orange juice or something as a mixer haha! I’m going to upload a video soon showing this process, and the ease of just using bucked up instead. However Bucked UP does sell L-citrulline by itself… Anyhow here is a link to a sweet deal they sent me that I’m allowed to share with you all! You get to pick your own free samples to try, and your own shaker cup color(yes ladies, they have pink).

Time lapse from mountain farm magnificently captures the Milky Way

I didn’t choose the title on this one but if they’re gonna feature my videos I’m cool with it! This is another time lapse composed of like a thousand RAW photos. These types of photos allow me to use the camera sensor on the gopro to it’s fullest for the largest possible resolution while also giving me more freedom to edit. It takes a lot more time to do it all, but I think it’s worth it and sets me apart. I load each photo in to Adobe Lightroom, edit and export them all at once. How I edit them will probably have to be another article. I feel that I am still guessing and changing things up to however I see best or want to try out. After all I don’t even have a 4K TV or monitor here. I have a 2K monitor that is faster for gaming and I am shooting this in 5k! This leaves a lot of guess work and this type of video gets so big that I cannot actually watch it at all on my computer, it just will not load.

Milky Way season shall be upon us soon. The sun shall no longer block the brightest part of the milky way in a month or so and for several months. June or July may be the best time to take photos and hopefully I’ll be around to do just that. Heck I might even buy some real astrophotography equipment.

I hope you enjoy this video, let me know what ya think!

These Katahdin Sheep Keep Having Twin Lambs In The Snow!

Like humans, often times sheep do not plan their pregnancies. Further it appears our herd must have had a pregnancy pact, as they are all birthing twins now. These Katahdin Sheep come from Maine and are suited to climate worst than this, but still it would be ideal to have the rams separated until you are prepared to have pregnant sheep. This way you could have the lambs in a warmer time of the year helping better their chances at survival. I think we have about 6 newborn lambs right now and likely more on the way. Here are some photos and a link to videos and such for the lambs/sheep.

Here’s a time lapse of the sheep doing their thing outside of the cabin. This included a night portion of the sky, but it got cloudy and snowed the camera over.



Newborn lamb calls for mama!



Okay, last one, another time lapse but in this one you can see the process of moving the sheep from one paddock to the next. Usually you may not use this type of fencing, but we’re being careful as we just got them on this property. Stars included!

GoPro 9 Raw 5K

Gopros have a setting to capture your photos in the fullest size it offers, 5568 x 4176 for the gopro 9. That’s 5K, more than the 5K option for video as well. No sharpening, color or temp changes, nothing. This is a few levels above the normal 4K options you have for time lapses etc and leaves you the most room to make those edits yourself. I recently just bought this 5 TB external HDD and it came with 4 months of adobe photoshop and Lightroom for free. So I am going to try to take full advantage of that trial. Basically I am shooting the time lapses and having them all saved as separate images, opening them all in Lightroom, exporting them, putting them back together in shotcut and exporting as a video. Maybe I will write more about how I do that stuff, but for now here are some photos and a video I made from this process.

My Favorite Protein Smoothie Recipe For Muscle Gain And Weight Loss

Webster dictionary defines “smoothie” as: “a blended cold drink designed to make you super swole with the benefit of losing weight fast.” In my opinion they are a great meal replacement(when made correctly) in which you can implement any other healthy ingredients you want, the options are unlimited. You are able to dial in the exact nutrition you want or need. They’re quick to make and honestly very tasty(depending on what you add). I believe the blending aids in digestion as the mechanical aspect is already done for you and done more efficiently. Here are some of my objectives in creating a smoothie, you can click the pictures of these products I use to buy them on Amazon and I may receive a small commission.

My objectives

Protein: This is primary for me, I want the protein to help build muscle and burn fat. With a good protein powder you can easily supplement your protein intake in literally seconds without having to cook a bunch of meat and chew it all day, and worry about how much fat accompanies it. This saves a bunch of time without having to worry about whether it is ready to eat or if it has gone bad. Aside from smoothies you can put protein powder in water, milk, pancakes, and a ton of other tasty things. It’s also cheaper than basically any other source of protein. The protein below also contains BCAAs , creatine and other great stuff.

Creatine: Creatine helps you build muscle as well as many other benefits throughout your whole body. I have recorded my results personally and know that it works. It’s cost effective and basically the most popular and safest workout supplement you can get. Creatine is normally found in meat and fish, but requires even more meat or fish to get than protein does, making it great to supplement. The creatine below is mirconized to help absorption in your body.

Fruit: I don’t usually eat fruit. But fruit is a good source of some vitamins, fiber, and carbs that are better for you than other sources of carbs. Smoothies are an easy way to incorporate fruit in a tasty and quick manner. I don’t have a link for this, I get frozen fruit from the store. personally I like blueberries and bananas for fiber, anti oxidants and the taste.

Calories: To effectively replace a meal and have energy for your days or workouts you’re going to need more calories than just protein and fruit. But you don’t want just any calories. For this I add milk and peanut butter and likely a touch of honey, which contain some fat, protein, carbs and magical stuff(honey).

Ingredients:

  1. 1 scoop of protein powder
  2. 5g of creatine (2 tsp of the powder above)
  3. 1 banana
  4. 3/4 cup of blueberries or other fruit
  5. 1/2 cup of milk
  6. 1 Tablesoon of peanut butter
  7. 1 Tablespoon of honey
  8. 1 Teaspoon of ground cinnamon

How to prepare:

You can literally just throw all these things in a magic bullet or other blender and chug it down. Personally I make it the following way.

  1. Fill the bottom of magic bullet cup with blueberries and the banana
  2. Pour in the milk (the amount may need to be adjusted to leave room for the remaining ingredients)
  3. Add the protein, creatine and remaining ingredients with the honey being the very last to add. The honey tends to sink to the bottom of the cup and will take longer to blend if it is not placed on top of everything.
  4. Screw on the blades and blend! The magic bullet is great for this because it is made for a single smoothie and is easy to clean. Just blend it till everything is mixed and drink it from the cup or transfer to your preferred container. Rinse the blades and cup asap to make cleanup even easier.

Summary:

I love these smoothies, they give me the energy and nutrition I need in a short amount of time. Personally I have lost about 25 pounds in the last couple months drinking these and going on walks as well as other exercises. If you have any allergies to peanuts, you could use other nuts or hemp seeds or nothing. The milk can be replaced with almond milk, other milks, or just water.

GoPro 9 Horizon Leveling and Hyper Smooth 3.0 On A 4 Wheeler At Shamblen Farms

Here I am testing out the GoPro 9 Horizon leveling and Hyper Smooth 3.0 with a 4 wheeler on and between Shamblen Farms etc. I would like to have filmed more but the 4 wheeler didn’t seem to be running as well so I had to throw together what footage I had. There is far more land and better shots to take, which hopefully I will be able to do later. Surely I will! I also have footage with a UTV etc so stayed tuned for more! This camera is amazing, without these features the video would seemingly be unwatchable and extremely shaky, even on a paved road… the tires are very knobby and bikes generally vibrate quite a bit. Thanks for watching , subscribe to my youtube for more and have a great day!
