This is a friend’s Tibetan mastiff and it’s annoying feline companion. That little cat constantly harasses the dog but the mastiff doesn’t flinch. The dog’s now 8 months old and weighs 45 kilos. It’s probably the best natural guard dog I’ve ever encountered. Since it was a little pup it has guarded and been aloof.
I had a great night last night at my friend’s, Jan’s. He has a cool weekend cottage in the hills outside Bardejov, overlooking the forest. He had a group of his friends over, a really diverse bunch, and we had a good time. Slovaks know how to enjoy their free time and incorporate nature with it without forcing the issue to the extreme. It comes naturally to them.
My name is Edward O'Toole and I live in one of the wildest, most beautiful parts of Europe, in the Carpathian Mountains of Eastern Slovakia. Life is an adventure - both physically and metaphysically...
I've been living out here for the last 22 years, along with my wife, 3 kids and Jack Russell.
My main interests involve bushcraft, prepping, survival and wilderness living (self-sufficiency and self-reliance), ecological, green, smart and natural solutions, motorcycles and motorbike club life, writing and art (I have 7 published books), and exploring the paranormal.
