Uninvited Stranger Caught Me Off Guard!

n today's episode of Wranglerstar, an unexpected visitor interrupts my day while I'm busy building on the cozy cabin. This uninvited stranger catches me off guard and asks me for diesel. I was appalled because he had a truck with a brand new kayak and bike on the roof rack! My response? "Sell your kayak and buy diesel." Needless to say, he didn't appreciate my answer and moved on down the road.
Left in shock at his audacity, I started to reconsider his way of life. Could it be better? Roaming free, unburdened by job or family obligations, and living without the weight of mortgage debt. This encounter made me reflect deeply on what it means to live a satisfying life.
Join me as I puzzle out who might be living the more fulfilling life: me, a man of responsibility, or him, a man living more carefreely.
Don't miss this thought-provoking episode!

Offer a decent item for sale - like a wheelbarrel - for $20 - and you might get a few responses. Offer it free and your inbox will fill with people who don't even need the damn thing. I just gave away some filing cabinets, and the woman wanted to know if I had a lock for the one she was taking. I told her they sell them in stores. F'in freeloaders!!

With a bit of hesitation and a kind of stern look on my face I oblige him, as I walk up he doesn’t say “Hello” or “how’s it going “ no, no he says “Do you have a job for me?” Dumbfounded I said nothing and returned to my work.

I’m the same way. Approach me in a time of need and I’d drop everything to help. His attitude however, left a lot to be desired. I think you did the absolute right thing, sending him on his way. Like others have said, for all you know, he may have been scouting. I used to live literally with the Appalachian Trail bordering my back yard. I used to keep a stockpile of spare tent stakes, repair kits and even some spare tents I bought for cheap when I worked at a local sporting goods store (floor models). I did however, have some unsavory characters, not only trespass, but were unapologetic for doing so and almost ‘demanding’ my kindness. Those were people I said no to.

We all find ourselves in need of help at some point. However, the only proper attitude when asking someone to sacrifice his resources, time and/or effort on our behalf is one of humility and gratitude. Had this character adopted such an approach when requesting your assistance, Cody, I have no doubt that his outcome would have been a more auspicious one. To paraphrase Mark Twain, "The world doesn't owe you anything, it was here first."

A lone farmworker was approached in the field by 2 men on foot (Central Calif near I-5, early 1970's). They asked for water and while one drinker held the jug to his lips, he threw the bottle towards the worker and was simultaneously jumped on by the other. FFWD, my police chief godfather was telling my dad of two men who walked into the doctor's office sporting horrible slashes. The doctor called the police and while they were being treated an officer arrived to see what was going on. They refused to give any info. A few minutes later, the farmworker arrived at the PD to file a report of an attempted robbery. He got the best of them, swing his shovel like a battle axe and inflicted some serious injury.

@@ConnorAdamz I think Cody said the guy was a millenial...so YOUNGER than Cody. Being respectful of those older than we are begins with our parents.

To this day if I approach an older person...a police officer or fireman (who risk it all for others)...a person in the military I will call them "sir...or Ma'am) to show respect for them. In the old testament we read that Elihu, who was young, waited patiently for the men in the group to talk.

There's a kind of driveway proximity sensor that can be discrete and sends a pre-recorded voice message to a MURS band radio (multiple sensors can have differing zone numbers: "Alert zone 3"). That allows you to be alerted and not caught off guard. If it's family or neighbors? you switch channel and hail them on your private channel before they arrive.
