We are Backkkkkk
🌲 OFF-GRID BLISS – COAST RANGE, OREGON | 11.14.25**
Guardians of the Wildwood
Woke up to frost on the solar panels and Briggs barking at the sunrise like it owed him rent. 🐺🔥
We’re 1,200 ft up in the Oregon Coast Range. 27 miles of logging road behind us, cell service thanks to @Starlink , and 100% pure freedom in front.
Today’s log:
☑️ Fired up the rocket stove with Doug fir kindling
☑️ Harvested the last of the kale before the elk got bold
☑️ Rainwater tanks at 96% – thank you, Pacific storms
☑️ Dog tax: paid in full
☑️ Day 1 of a two-week break from the day job, wandering the ridges before the snow locks us in
This land isn’t just off-grid it’s *on-purpose. No HOA. No meter. Just the sound of ravens, rifle practice at dusk, and the occasional cougar scream that keeps us humble.
Who’s with us? Drop a 🪓 if you’d trade spotty Wi-Fi for wildfire coffee, a couple loyal beasts who’d take a bear for you, and Starlink keeping you connected while you vanish for two weeks straight.

Grok’d it
- There is no official confirmation from Amazon about integrating $XRP into their payment system as of 08:29 PM PDT on June 14, 2025.
- Amazon Web Services recently held a panel discussing potential uses of XRP for payments, indicating active exploration but not implementation.
- Reports from Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal on June 13, 2025, suggest Walmart and Amazon are exploring stablecoins to cut $14 billion in annual card processing fees, though specifics on $XRP are unconfirmed.
- The Ripple case study on AWS, updated June 11, 2025, highlights XRP's use in cross-border payments via xRapid, but this is unrelated to Amazon's retail payment system.
- Multiple users on X have challenged the claim, calling for evidence, with no credible sources provided to support the $XRP integration assertion.
Grok’d it
- The video in the X post, initially captioned as showing a protest in NYC, actually depicts an incident from Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2020, where a truck drove through a crowd of protesters.
- This event occurred on May 31, 2020, during a protest, and the Tulsa County District Attorney decided not to press charges against the driver, citing that the truck was attacked by the protesters.
- The misinformation about the location and timing of the video has been addressed by fact-checking sources, confirming it was not a recent event in Los Angeles related to the 2023 Israel-Hamas conflict but rather an older incident in Oklahoma.
- The broader context of traffic blockades during protests has led to legislative discussions, such as a New York bill proposing to charge such actions as "domestic terrorism," reflecting ongoing tensions and policy responses to protest tactics.
