I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1310 - To Surpass 17,000 HP with My HPUD Powerup, and So Many Great Pools! - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, February 27, 2026

I live naked and barefooted, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i, and I have for more than 7 years now. Although there are many challenges, I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I just realized yesterday (or possibly the day before) that HPUD is just about here once again, which means that I'll be powering up close to 85 HIVE either at some point tonight, or tomorrow morning, and with it, I'll blow past 17,000 Hive Power. Not a bad way to start the month. All the extra HIVE from curation (in place of HBD) has certainly been adding up quickly, and I think this is the most HIVE that I've accumulated in a month so far.

I still haven't accepted new HP leases yet, even though I want to do so, because I'd still like to keep some kind of balance between my delegated and undelegated HP. I really need a lot more daily SWAP.HIVE for my layer-2 investment adventures, however, which is mostly focused on seeding and growing liquidity in a notable array of very good diesel/liquidity pools, and holy moly are there a lot of great pools, with some very interesting new ones recently coming onto the scene (and others coming soon). This makes it more than a little challenging with low investment liquidity, and with staying focused on increasing liquidity in a pool at a time to a good level before moving on to the next, but I will say that I do pretty well with the resources that I have.

I've always been good at bootstrapping income streams, even when starting with almost nothing (which takes time, of course), but good amounts of investment liquidity definitely speed up the process immensely. That's what I'm doing for the We Are Alive Tribe, with Ben's investment assistance, creating and growing income streams, and the accumulation of useful and valuable assets (whether they can be used in pools or not).

There are some well-run projects that manage groups of excellent pools, with the returns being so good that I do my best to get some solid liquidity in all of them, like the CENT and CCC pools. There are also some super interesting new (or soon-to-be) groups of pools which have moved to the top of my list of new pools to add, like the LBI and the HSBIDAO pools. What's so cool about those two tokens is that even when they are in their respective pools, they both still earn their holding rewards. I just saw that a HSBIDAO:LBI pool has been created, too, which would suggest that both tokens would also earn rewards in that pool, which would be more HSBIDAO, and LEO for LBI (LEO Basic Income). That's a pretty sweet deal, and on top of that those two assets would also keep growing in the pool from pool fees.

There are 7 LBI pools, and at the moment I'm in 3 of them on my account, 3 on @aliveandthriving, and 1 on @heartbeatvault01, so I've got a ways to go yet. So far there are 2 HSBIDAO pools, the above-mentioned one with LBI, and HSBIDAO:ECOBANK, in which I'm slowly growing liquidity, with another new pool from the UNCOIN-GLITTER-PIXYDUST project coming soon for HBSIDAO and the soon-to-be-launched PIXYDUST token. So yeah, I need a whole lot more investment liquidity for all these pools!

Yesterday, Friday, after finishing up most of my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks by a little after 1PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session went beautifully well, we wrapped it up by around 6:30PM, with me heading afterward to the new kitchen to heat myself up some food, and to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, before returning to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done quite late, by around 10:45PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed by just after 12AM. I woke up just after 6AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in the new kitchen, then heading back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 11:45AM, so it's a lovely time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's manifestation of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2026 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!

Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!

Vote for @bradleyarrow's Witness Node!

Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
