Thanks for listening to the Southern Ground Hunting series, Local Legends. This week's legend is none other than Jeremy Aron of the "Do It Yourself Hunter". Jeremy hails from the great state of Mississippi and is no stranger to big public land bucks. As a matter of fact, you may have seen him on the outdoor channel years ago or even on his YouTube channel where he posts recent hunts. If you're familiar with Jeremy, you probably have noticed that he is always hunting new states, and also always being successful in those states. Not only that but he's doing it on public land. For Jeremy, it's all a part of his system and it should come as no surprise that someone with his resume in the whitetail woods would have a system for their success. In this episode, Jeremy lays out the things that he's doing that he feels sets him apart from other hunters, even in places where the hunting pressure on public land can tend to get high through the month of November. Make sure you follow along with Jeremy and his partner, Daniel, on their YouTube channel "Do It Yourself Hunter". Become a SGH Patron:https://www.patreon.com/SouthernGroundHuntingOur Partners:Spartan Forge - Use the code “southernground” at www.spartanforge.ai to save 25% on your membershipTethrd - www.tethrdnation.comNucanoe - www.nucanoe.comSkre Gear - Use the code “southernground” at www.skregear.com to save 15% on your purchase Southern Ground Hunting is powered by Simple Cast.

Movie 'POWDER' Commentary by David Hoffmeister - Online Movie Workshop.The awakening classic movie 'Powder (1995)' was chosen for this week's movie workshop. In the movie, the main character “Jeremy” is a shy boy with a gentle heart and a telepathic mind, and the ability to heal others. Yet Jeremy hides in the basement for most of his life, afraid to be seen, because the world is afraid of what it cannot understand, label, and categorize. Powers and abilities of the mind that go beyond accepted norms, as well as appearances that stand out, are both judged harshly. Yet, the development of powers, abilities, and appearances that defy traditional explanations are natural phenomena as the mind evolves beyond limiting beliefs. For Jeremy as for the rest of us, the greatest desire of our hearts is to go home, to go back to the Source of our Being.Listen to David's extraordinary commentary on this classic movie and the workshop themes after the movie.If you are interested to know more about the All Day Movie Workshops and how to participate, here is more information: https://circle.livingmiraclescenter.org/acim-online-movies.The online movie workshop was recorded on May 22, 2021, in Living Miracles Studio in Quantico, Chapala, Mexico.

This Kitchen Design Essentials episode has special guest, Jeremy Gates from Gaia Construction chat with Frances about some of the key mistakes people make when embarking on creating a new kitchen – and not really understanding the impact of these decisions. Jeremy shares his vast experience as a carpenter and builder on how to avoid mistakes when designing your kitchen, and how a builder can really assist you to meet expectations if engaged early on in the process. A very insightful discussion for getting your kitchen right.   SHOW NOTES Jeremy Gates Managing Director of Gaia Construction joined Frances in this episode to discuss kitchen design and mistakes, from a builder’s perspective. The biggest oversight that creates problems for builders from a kitchen design perspective; When somebody has a concrete floor and it’s difficult to get the plumbing in, or there will be damage to the current floor. If you put it in a induction cooktop, and depending on what your fuse board, you may need to upgrade it.  Communicating you have a water point for the  fridge Anything can be done but the implication is the cost. Being informed allows you to make the right decisions that matter to you. When designing kitchens, builders look at it from the practicality point of view and how it can be constructed. The best way to approach designing your kitchen Decide on a budget as it often decides which direction the kitchen is going to be. What are the finishes? Have you got a young family? How are you going to use the kitchen? Is it the hub of the home? Do you do lots of cooking? What are the appliances you want in there? Have a look  friends kitchens and what may also work for you. Work out on the appliances you need Do you need a wine fridge? Coffee machine Steam oven Double oven Cooktop size Think about storage and make sure everything is in the right place Engage with an expert Get people on your job that are going to share the journey with you, that put your priorities first. If you want something that they don't really think works properly, that's fine. Understand their reasoning, so you can make the right decisions. They need to listen and really understand what you're trying to achieve because it is your kitchen, not theirs. The best time to engage a builder Engage with a builder early on so you can start seeing realistic costs compared to your budget. It's good to have an idea about what's realistic in terms of what your expectations are. Avoid building a kitchen without joinery design The cabinet maker’s job is to build what is drawn. To do their job properly it has to be drawn properly as joinery drawings, so it’s easy to review, quote accurately, and adjust if needed. The drawings are essential to provide details such as drawer handles, depth of our drawers, exact measurements, and materials. Best way to work with a builder For Jeremy, the first meeting is at no charge. Once you engage the builder it will be for a fixed fee treat your builder as a professional. Ensure they are qualified, and consider their vested interest when giving advice. Things that clients can do at the detriment to themselves and the end result They design the kitchen themselves and end up paying They under-capitalise in their kitchen, which is just as bad as over capitalising! Eg. Not making the best use of space in your kitchen. Not being aware of products that are available, that can improve the design, functionality, durability, and aesthetics of the kitchen. Number one tip for those who want to renovate or build a new kitchen Find a designer and a builder that have the same priorities as you. Somebody who is on the same journey with you and your kitchen. You have to be comfortable with the people you're working with. You've got to keep focused on the fact that it's your journey and that you are able to relate to the people on your team. If you don't actually get along with them or relate to them, you're never going to get the proper outcome anyway.

Jeremy Floyd was born and raised on the South side of Chicago, is a person who refuses to quit, aspires to inspire others, and hopes to make as many people possible smile in the process. Jeremy is someone God brought from self-hatred and big mistakes to finding purpose realizing God can take broken vessels and make us whole through Jesus Christ. Listeners on the show today will be challenged and inspired to walk away from fear and motivated to step into their God given purpose in this life. Introduction to Jeremy Floyd (3:00) Jeremy moved from Chicago to Minneapolis in 2009. He has a twin brother that passed away at age 13 and another brother six years older than himself. His life has been the epitome of never giving up. Having faced abuse, brokenness, and deep grief, Jeremy learned from a young age to be a fighter. Growing up amidst the chaos he also realized that he could distract himself and others with laughter. Light in Dark Places (4:30) God will still allow good to come out of dark places. Our gifts can be used and cultivated in the darkest of times! Jeremy has done a lot of suffering in life and through the trials it taught him that sometimes we have to fight, claw, scrape, get down and dirty before we will rise up again. His Ways, Not Our Ways (5:45) God is intertwined in every single detail of our lives. Through the years of suffering Jeremy went through in life, he came to a place where he was ready to surrender fully to God. Jeremy did not want to know God based off what others would tell him, rather he was desperate to know God for himself. Becoming A Son (6:30) There are over 7 billion people on this earth, and how amazing is it that God would be mindful to each of our hearts!  Jeremy shares God seems to be making up the time now for what he didn’t have with his dad growing up. True Identity (8:00) True identity comes from God. As we discover who God is, we discover who we are. Going hand in hand, as we discover who we are in Christ, giftings are also discovered within! A Quest For True Love (11:00) Jeremy searched for true love in places like drugs, sports, alcohol, self image, and sex for a long time. In his adult years he came to a point where he knew that he needed God more than anything else in this life. A Deep Cry (12:30) God is always in pursuit of us, He will answer our cries. God is Good (14:30) God is good and he always will be good. Jeremy desires to live the rest of his life helping people believe again and finding their true purpose. Find What Matters (14:30) As believers we are created to go against the grain of the culture. We are born to live for the Kingdom of God. What are you doing for the kingdom? A Strong Voice (17:00) Carrie takes a moment to thank Jeremy for being a strong voice, helping pave a path for others to follow. The Solution (18:00) Jeremy believes the only way many issues will get resolved today is by turning back to Christ. There is a difference between saying that you are a “Christian” and living ones life out as a believer. Wrestling (21:00) After fighting back and forth being frustrated with God and wondering why he’s had to go through so much suffering in his life, Jeremy remembers a voice saying “I can’t take something from you that you never wanted to give up”. In that moment Jeremy said “I surrender” and believed in his heart God could take a weak yes and turn it into a strong yes. The Pursuit (22:30) Carrie elaborates on the importance of knowing God based off personal experience rather than the experience of others. We are not meant to ride on the coattails of other people and unfortunately there are people in the church who have yet to receive this revelation. It wasn't until Carrie was challenged to go and share her faith to the world that she realized this for herself too. Rise Up Church (24:45) God is not a genie in a bottle, He is worthy of our full hearted pursuit and devotion. God is loving, but there are also things God hates. Everyday we are in a spiritual warfare, it is time for the Church to stand back up! Walk Unchained (29:00) Jeremy has chosen to embark on a walking journey from Minneapolis, MN to Santa Monica, CA starting June 1st, 2019. He will launch from the adult teen challenge center and the entire walking experience journey will be recorded. To follow along on the journey click HERE. The Vision (30:00) Jeremy had a dream of walking across the states since he was 10 years old but knew he wasn't old enough to go quite yet. At age 13 his twin brother passed away and knew that his parents for sure would not allow him to walk after that either, for they didn't want to lose another child. Fast forward years later, this past fall Jeremy found himself in his car praying and worshipping, and in that time received a vision from God revealing his calling and reminding him to do the walk across the states. Moving Forward, Looking Backwards (32:45) Often times God will prepare us for future endeavours without ourselves realizing it. Jeremy reflects back and sees how often he walked to places and had often asked himself “why do I have to walk so much”. Now he reflects on those past experiences and realizes there was always significance to it. Childlike Wonder (33:00) We were created to open our hearts to God. We were made to believe God could use broken people like ourselves to do mighty things in this world today! Known (36:30) In order to know our true selves, purpose, and giftings, we need to come close to God because he created us in the first place. For Jeremy, He discovered that he loves to make people smile and help people operate in their purpose. When he is making people smile and helping, that is where he feels most alive. Find Your Purpose (39:00) Jeremy cannot imagine dying and not doing what He was created to do. This walk is the start of a lifelong journey empowering and inspiring others to latch onto God and to find out what their purpose in this life is too. In this time of walking he will be making stops at rehab centers, youth homes, vlogging, and sharing the raw and real moments of everyday life on the ground.

Universal Harvester (Farrar, Straus and Giroux) Jeremy works at the Video Hut in Nevada, Iowa a small town in the center of the state, the first a in Nevada pronounced ay. This is the late 1990s, and while the Hollywood Video in Ames poses an existential threat to Video Hut, there are still regular customers, a rush in the late afternoon. It s good enough for Jeremy: It s a job, quiet and predictable, and it gets him out of the house, where he lives with his dad and where they both try to avoid missing Mom, who died six years ago in a car wreck. But when a local schoolteacher comes in to return her copy of "Targets" an old movie, starring Boris Karloff, one Jeremy himself had ordered for the store, she has an odd complaint: There's something on it, she says, but doesn t elaborate. Two days later, a different customer returns "She's All That," a new release, and complains that there s something wrong with it: There's another movie on this tape. Jeremy doesn't want to be curious. But he takes a look and, indeed, in the middle of the movie the screen blinks dark for a moment and "She's All That" is replaced by a black-and-white scene, shot in a barn, with only the faint sounds of someone breathing. Four minutes later, "She's All That" is back. But there is something profoundly unsettling about that scene; Jeremy's compelled to watch it three or four times. The scenes recorded onto "Targets" are similar, undoubtedly created by the same hand. Creepy. And the barn looks much like a barn just outside of town. There will be no ignoring the disturbing scenes on the videos. And all of a sudden, what had once been the placid, regular old Iowa fields and farmhouses now feels haunted and threatening, imbued with loss and instability and profound foreboding. For Jeremy, and all those around him, life will never be the same. John Darnielle’s first novel, Wolf in White Van, was a New York Times bestseller, a National Book Award nominee, and a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for first fiction, and was widely hailed as one of the best novels of the year. He is the writer, composer, guitarist, and vocalist for the band the Mountain Goats. He lives in Durham, North Carolina, with his wife and sons.
