Other than the large number of Ex hippies in the southern bits yeah VT
is definitely a libertarian place in the classic, don't fuck with me or
Ill shoot you in the face and they'll never find the body kind of way.
Montana is the same way.

I love winter myself, but I Don't currently own a 4x4 or snowmobiles.

Actually I really like the cleveland area. I know that sounds weird, but
since they've spent so much effort rebuilding the place I think it's
become a pretty nice area to live.

I did some gunsmithing classes just for hobbyist purposes when I lived
in AZ. I'd love to get a certificate though I don't think I'd want to
make my living doing it. 


I also work in in leather, metal and wood. I do general craft work but
most often I make traditional (and SCA legal or LARP legal) armor and
garb. I also do leather and wood... Toys... For friends. Once again I
don't think Id want to do it for a living.
