Minuteman

Hey all! Ed "Minuteman" here! Glad you're reading and following me on my adventures! Most of you may know me by ed.ventures603 but for those who don't, nice to see you here! I hope you find inspiration entertainment and some laughs from what I share. I am a lifelong adventurer. I am also a self defense instructor. I have been blessed to have grown up in New Hampshire thus having nearly unlimited access to The Whites and a litany of other treasures in the great northeast region.
