that used to be on Trapperman.

He was sort of an "in your face" sort of guy guy and made some adversaries. Anyway, he's been gone from tman a couple years now.

Anyway, I still talk to him on a regular basis. The tempo got changed within the last 10 days or so and he finally contacted me. He had a bad fire but he and his dog made it out ok.

Most tman people who interacted with M probably didn't know that he had been living in a camper for a good amount of time and had multiple vehicles in his temporary spots. He ended up having a fire get started in the camper and basically nearly died getting back in to it to pull his dog out. He's staying in a friend's "fixer up house" in a nearby city so has a place to stay and even though he lost his trucks, he picked up another old Chevy with some "metal".

M is not a "spring chicken" and I'm going to send him some "metal" pieces, along with some household stuff. If you want to reach out and talk to M, he can be reached at martingoodwin56@gmail.com. He told me that I could show his e-mail.

I should say he bought the old Chevy with some "recovered metal" found in the burn area. Good thing that stuff doesn't melt at typical house fire temps...

I like Mr M. He got the shaft for being honest.
I commend him for saving his dog.

Dang , glad he made it

I always liked his posts

Thanks for sharing

Yep , he was on our side .......too bad someone was offended

… maybe someone smarter than me can get a a go fund me deal going

Agree

Thank you guys for caring. He's an interesting dude.

As expected, the camper burned quick. An electrical short towards the back caused his external generator to cut out before he smelled smoke or saw flames. He was outside for about 2 minutes checking on it when he saw flames from the back end. He wanted to save his dog but when he opened the main door of the camper and stepped inside, the smoke and heat knocked him down. He crawled back to the bed area where he figured the dog would be hiding underneath, which the dog was, and grabbed the dog's harness (it typically wears a harness), and M was able to back crawl his way out of the mess.

I told him, and he agrees, that if he would have been dozing or sleeping, he and the dog would be dead. Sometime minutes and seconds count.

That would be terrible to lose virtually everything your own. Kudos to Marty for saving his dog. I hope he can recover.

I liked that guy also. Hate to hear about him going through that fire, glad he got the doggo out, at least.

Hate to hear that...glad hes ok

Any idea of the size clothes he wears I was looking for something last month and realized how much stuff I have in totes that I never wear. The same with shoes I’ve never worn. I’ll send him an email and see what I can find out.

Sorry to hear this about Marty.

Some one near here lost their life to trying to save their dog. Just a week or two ago.......jk

Sent him an email asked him for a needs list and size ideas will pass on what I find out when he responds.

I'd be happy to chip in on a donation if someone can put something together.

Ol dad

I also sent an email to Marty, we will be waiting a reply.

I have lots of spare clothes, in XL I will never wear or need, some new, some very good used. some boots size 11 & 12 That would be great to get us a size and address to ship too.

A great idea for a go fund me page for him if someone knows how to set that up.

I just as soon send it directly to him personally if he has a permanent addess to send too. If he is living off grid he may not or just have a post office box.

Direct payment or PayPal is a good way to avoid the fees and tips they give themselves. Plus you’re not putting your info out there to be sold a bunch of times.

I just had a contact with Marty. We are getting together some things he said he can use and will try to get them packed and shipped in a day or so.

He wears size XL shirts/gloves and size 34/36 medium length pants, I assume that his briefs would be medium size? Socks shoe sizes, boots size 11 Medium.

This is what I got back so far from Marty along with Bobs info we have a starting point.

Is my PayPal account address.
