Montana man, 63, who has no family spends his life traveling back and forth across US on horse-drawn carriage at 3mph and has just started his fifth trip

Since 2009, Lee Crafton, or Lee Horselogger as he prefers to be called, has been traveling across the country in a horse-drawn carriage, and now he's on his fifth trip.

His journey started in 2006 when he lost his ranch in East Glacier, Montana after 27 years and dropped out of his Ph.D. program. Lee took his life savings of $75 and a couple of horses and decided to explore the nation, traveling at just three miles an hour.

Needless to say, Lee is not your typical 63-year-old.

But one year prior to his career change, Lee was diagnosed with Lymphoma at age 48 and had a tumor growing in his neck. Weary of chemotherapy, he opted for more naturopathic herbal treatments. Believe it or not, his tumor started to shrink and his cancer was gone.

His cancer diagnosis ultimately served as a wake up call, reminding him of his humanity and what he wanted to do with his remaining time.

'If you're unhappy and you're under stress, you're not going to get well,' he told the Seattle Times in 2009. 'What the cancer did is it kicked me in the ass,' he says. 'About all I can say is it woke me up. It got me doing things I should have done years ago.'

In 2009, Lee had a 50-foot-long horse team and wagon. Today, he has one horse left named Jessie, who travels at 3mph.

But what motivates this horseman? As he told local ABC affiliate WPBF - why not?

**SNIP**

Despite not having any money and only enough food for his horse, Lee did not get discouraged and instead raised money for the materials to make a new carriage with the help of a GoFundMe and selling his own merchandise.

During covid we had two cancer patients taking Ivermectin have their cancer readings drop drmatically. Their doctors made them stop using it and readings went back up and one died.

AMAZING... and I believe it. Most doctors don’t have a clue!

I really should. Need to drop some weight.

I may start my initial weight loss program.

All the wrong things. I’ve made it a couple of weeks. 15 lbs gone. NEVER hungry. I’m wondering if I can do it for 3 weeks and trim off 20-25 lbs. It’s cheap, too. Dirt cheap (it’s not dirt, though, LOL).

I’ve done it twice. Weight comes off reliably.

BUT you eat the same thing, every day, twice a day and nothing else.

(though I’m thinking possibly adding unsalted popcorn, celery sticks, carrot sticks)

Over 80% of the people in the US have received at least one Covid vaccine. On top of that, they have received every other recommended vaccine.

Yet people are not dropping dead like flies.

Doesn’t our continued failure to drop dead undermine the antivax fear-mongering claims?

A couple of thousand people per week are still dying from Covid. But, to date, the number of deaths that can be verified to be linked to vaccination is still in the single or low double digits.

As of April 13, 1.2 million people in the US had died from Covid. The numbers are no longer being updated daily.

I believe the true effect of the vaccine is being purposely hidden or obscured. Of course! you can’t expect those same agencies responsible for producing and promoting the vaccine to come out and willingly (honestly) attribute complications or adverse vaccine events (remember the stopped updating that?).

I’m not saying the Covid Vaccine is causing direct quick deaths but I’m not convinced one bit that the multitude of anecdotal incidents of myocardia, etc. aren’t mid-long term effects, either.

And, as far as the 1.2 Million deaths go, there are other things to consider like hospitals being paid extra money to ‘treat Covid ailments,’ diagnoses by opinion of symptoms (vs actual verified clinical testing), etc.

I would think he would have to be - at least $500-$700 a month.

It’s noted that blood type played a role in how severe covid was for people.

People with AB or A blood had the most severe reaction. However those with B or O blood had a less severe reaction.
Those of us with O- blood had the least reaction towards covid, basically not needing the vaccine at all.

People with O- blood are almost a slightly different species of human than the others, because they tend to get less touched with illness than everybody else. I don’t think it is because they are necessrily healthier than other people, just less compatible with viruses than most other people.

I interpret Covid as a stressor in most cases. It’s just one more stressor on top of your other health stressors and, for some people, it’s one stress to many and they pass on.

It’s why, for healthy people and those under 80, were hardly affected by covid for the most part.

I’m sure he got a pile of money when the careless, speeding driver rear ended his wagon, demolished it, and threw him and his passenger down over an embankment. His whole story sounds like about 75% horsesh#t to me.

Do you know their treatment plan, i.e. frequency of Ivermectin, etc.? Thanks

$75 dollar life savings?

FTA:

His journey started in 2006 when he lost his ranch in East Glacier, Montana after 27 years
I'm guessing he lost more than the ranch in trying to keep it.

I can get it. It was a combination of IVM and vitamins.

Only if it's easily accessible. I don't need it (thank God). Just more info I would keep in my file if I did ever need to access it. Thanks again.

Sort of a modern day Don Quixote, with his faithful horse Rocinate. It’s kind of sad that he has no social roots anywhere in particular, and I question him walking that horse on hot asphalt here and there, but I admire his sense of adventure. Just stay far away from the crowded urban areas as much as possible. Some group of feral “teens” would take him down like a pack of hyenas felling an antelope.

Ivermectin kills cancer cell reproduction at a much earlier stage than the immune system detects a cancer. I take 1x 12mg a week as a prophylactic.

True story: about 10 years ago on a business/film trip from Dayton, OH to Nashville my friend and I saw on a side road to the freeway a former hotel converted into an “Adult book store” and (obviously) pleasure palace.

Going down the road in its direction was an Amish buggy.

Follow-up: There was a GIANT metal cross a short distance from there. When we came back, after a storm, the cross had fallen and it’s beam went right into the aforesaid pleasure palace.

I moved to current property with 6 horses & 3 dogs.

5 horses are gone & all the dogs.

I DID NOT EAT ANY OF THEM.

OLD AGE.
