Gentlemen, this has been an on going discussion in not just our community but in society as a whole. We have seen trends, traditional attire, we have seen men dressed more feminine and ladies dress more masculine. Does this affect our lives and society as a whole ? When people dress more non caring or more complacent in their attire, does this affect their judgment and actions? I would love not only for you to place your poll vote but also your comments on what you feel. Gentlemen, lets respectful ofI each others opinions and listen to their opinion in this matter. I personally feel it had a huge impact on how a person acts, and responds to situations and in society as a whole, This is coming from years of working in all types of of communities and living in different parts of the world. But especially here in the United States working in different environments and around different classes of people. This is not about race, religion, ethnicity, or gender.

You never share photos while a military exercise is ongoing due to operational security. This photo was taken last week at an undisclosed location in Sweden where I did some training as part of the Swedish Homeguard. I am wearing the M90 splinter camo inclement weather uniform, Salomon boots, Outdoor Research gloves and Snigel Design beanie. The rifle is the venerable AK4 in its latest configuration (AK4C) with a Spuhr adjustable buttstock and Aimpoint CS red dot. But more importantly, this marks the end of our journey together. With the upcoming membership changes I will not be able to partake in this community for much longer. The picture represents me fading into the shadows in pursuit of new hunting grounds. I wish you all the best and Antonio the best of luck with his pursuit of a qualitative and purpose-driven platform for male development. Godspeed / Fridens liljor

It’s taken six months, use of AI, hard work, dedication, sacrifice and effort, but I’ve finally reached my weight loss goal. I was 117kg (peak heavy), and today I hit (and got under) 77kg. Between March and May, I was facing the prospect of cancer - by middle of May is was blessed to have been given the news I had been given a second chance and all would indeed, be well. I took the opportunity to run with that second chance. And today, almost six months to that calendar day, I’ve finally achieved what set out lose - 40kg/6st 4/88.5lb. That’s the combined weight of my two kids, and 34% of my body. My body and brain feel better, I can dress better (hence finding this community) and now anything feels possible. Look after yourselves, invest in yourselves, and remember that true wealth is health.
