I know it sounds crazy but the older I get the more I try to make realistic goals. Starting small and working your way up a little at a time. The tortoise and the Hare. No sense burning yourself out spinning wheels for a goal you can't reach only to be disappointed. At 54 years of age I choose the tortoise pace and determination. I usually don't focus on material things. I have no car payments. My home is older and from circa 1930. I don't need anything in life to be happy. However this is a need and somewhat of a luxury that I've wanted for awhile since I am pumping more money in my old bike than its worth. Not to mention it's a practical use for someone like me so I look at it as just that.
I am hoping that Steemit will help me reach my short term goals while also meeting new people and creating friendships in a wonderful community! Once I reach these goals and have established myself more in the Steemit community I will set my goals higher. In the mean time I am enjoying Steemit and helping people along the way. I plan to give back a lot also. I believe It will help others and Steemit as a whole! Be sure to check out my blog for the upcoming giveaway of 10 bushcrafting/homesteading (Foxfire) books. Thanks!

Ok one of my two first SHTF Steemit goals is this bike! I've always wanted a "FAT BOY" Fat Bike and this one just floats my boat! The first time I ever rode one I was hooked. If you haven't ridden one give it a try. These babies make the trails smooth as butter. To me it is like the Cadillac of trail bikes. I think this would be an awesome bug-out bike in a bad situation. When I say SHTF- For me that is Stuff hitting the fan not the other expression.
So this is one of my 2 starting goals along with a "BOB" trailer to pull behind it. Fat bikes vary in price ranges and most have to many accessories. I am interested in a bike with "Bluto front forks" hydraulic disc brakes and a few other essentials. That's it. Pricing for the lower end on this bike are around $2500.00 and can range upwards to $7000.00 easily. Uhhhm yeah a bit much so i'm keeping my goals on the low end.

I love hiking, camping, trail riding and bushcraft so this fits right in to my lifestyle. My old bike has seen many miles and truly seen its better days. I mean you can only use so much duct tape and rubber bands and eventually you need to break down and get a new one.
My second goal is a Go Pro camera and a few accessories. Can anyone recommend which one would be good? I only think there are a few Go Pros so it shouldn't be to hard to choose.
Anyway, what are your short term goals in Steemit besides helping others?
In case you missed it.
