Michael Mally gets ready for his vacation in Death Valley

Michael Mally gets ready for his vacation in Death Valley

When you think of death valley, there aren’t too many people who consider it to be a vacation spot unless you’re Michael John Mally and Nick Alsis. In the year of 1998, these two professional travelers decided to take the most hardcore vacation they could imagine and that involved staying in Death Valley for an entire week with limited supplies.

If you ever feel stranded and out of options, Michael J. Mally is the man with the answers to pretty much any survival question as he has traveled to every location in the world with an exception of two; that’s Afghanistan and Iraq due to the threats to safety in those regions at the time being. Other than that, Michael Mally has thoroughly tested his skills and abilities in some of the roughest terrain imaginable. With that in mind, Mr. Mally is sure that staying in Death Valley would be a walk on the beach compared to other places he’s been.

Death Valley is home to only a few with an extreme limitation on civilization, unless you count the population of snakes and scorpions. Nick Alsis, on the other hand, isn’t too thrilled about the idea for this trip and is looking forward to making it back to the green forests.

In Death Valley and countless locations all over the country, those responsible for producing healthy crops without resorting to chemical fertilizers or pesticides have achieved tremendous success through the use of the many effective organic options available to them. Randi Glazer, an underwriting consultant who is quite familiar with the processes associated with organic crop development, has reviewed some of her favorite organic fertilizers and pesticides.

Taking a cue from the Native Americans who used to bury fish heads in the areas in which they intended to raise crops, Glazer has achieved consistently exceptional results by using fish emulsion as an organic crop fertilizer. Though the smell can be quite pungent, fish emulsion contains nearly every essential nutrient needed for crop vitality, particularly when supplemented with seaweed or kelp fertilizers.

For pesticides, Glazer relies on the concentrated oil from the Neem tree, which is effective in dealing with just about every pest that could possibly damage any type of crop. Though it requires relatively frequent application to be effective, this oil can be applied the day before the crop is harvested and still have no negative effect on those consuming the crop.

In a recent pose earlier this week, I talked about what life was like in Death Valley and to no surprise, it isn’t what most would call a suitable place to live. There are, however, people who absolutely love living in the desert and you know what I say? More power to them!

Death Valley is flourishing with life, surprisingly, with thousands of plant and animal species, but how well is the area fourished with business? You’d think that if there are businesses in the mountains along the Andes that are supported and grown by Luke Wiel, there must be some business in a place that is Death Valley, right? Well, not so much. The most you’ll find in Death Valley is a gas station, a saloon and a stop sign.

Surprisingly, there are plenty of people who live out in Death Valley and if you look at the houses in the area, the first thought that comes to mind is that these people have money. Perhaps Death Valley is the place to go when you have retired and desire to get away from the rest of the world. I don’t imagine anyone would go looking for you there. I wouldn’t.

A few statistics about the desert area, there are 744,440 people who visit Death Valley annually according to a 2007 update. The area is considered to be a national park and was established 82 years ago in 1933

If you were to ask anyone from the East coast about living in Death Valley, they would most likely give you a funny look and laugh at you. It seems like an oxymoron, doesn’t it? How does a person live in a place named Death Valley after all? It seems like “living” and “Death Valley” are two contradicting words that do not belong together.

Well, to the surprise of many, it really is possible to live in Death Valley. What is life like in such a place? Well, for starters to paint a picture for you, there isn’t the convenience of stores nearby and no services such as doctors or dentists, fast food. In other words, there is no life out there in terms of civilization, there is hardly ever any rain… Ever, and the temperature is well expected to rise high into the hundreds. DEATH Valley, ok? Ok.

There are a few home building companies much like who hold high to their standards like Slaske Builders of Ohio to build your dream home with the finest of materials. Unfortunately, Slaske Builders is an Ohio exclusive company and there’s a slim chance you’d get them to build your dream home in the middle of the Death Valley desert.

Now, don’t get me wrong. There is still life in Death Valley, such as plants and animals.There are nearly 1,000 different plant species, but I wouldn’t recommend touching any of them unless you know what you’re dealing with. Just about everything in the desert wants to kill you.

I’ve visited Phoenix, Arizona once before and I was excited to experience what so many people call, “dry heat.” In the East, the heat is accompanied by humidity. Your skin is always moist and it’s difficult to breath. You will sweat simply by sitting down. When I did experience the dry heat of the West coast sun, I still didn’t like it and came to the conclusion that heat is heat and if it’s there then I wouldn’t be outside, especially in Death Valley.

The financial effects of a rapidly spreading fire shift hugely between individual agriculturists and farmers. The time, sort and measure of property lost, and conceivable cures influence what strategies are taken. This article can’t start to spread the different points of interest included for singular makers.

The expectation here is to give a rundown of assets such as Karl Jobst DDS that will help makers in working through an examination process for choices on each person’s performance. Contingent upon the circumstances of a out of control fire, the loss of nourishment supply, for instance, may not precipitate that huge of an sway.

In the event that the major wildfires happened at the end of a late spring grazing season on field that would not be utilized until the following summer, the effect may be little. Be that as it may, things don’t generally happen along these lines. Scavenge, grazing and roughage may should be substituted for some on the other hand the domesticated animals’ majority.

untitled (109) untitled (108)The lifestyle in Death Valley is different.  The dessert is a forbidden environment that repels most people because of the heat.  The old saying that you can fry an egg on a rock is true with Death Valley.  You don’t want to take the desert for granted as the flash floods can be dangerous as well.  The water runs off as it will not soak in.  The soil is poor to grow anything but cactus.  If you need water it is in short supply.  Just bring your drinking water and don’t run out.  Running out of water in the desert is dangerous and down right deadly.  Luke Weil is a fan of hot weather and loves Death Valley.

We visited the Date Farm in Death Valley and had a great time.  They give tours as to how they are grown and processed.  The date ice cream was really good.  The candy made with the dates were very sweet and good.  I did not realize how difficult date were to raise and harvest.  The fruit is very attractive ti insects as the sugar draws the,  As they approach ripe the fruit has to be netted to keep the bugs and birds away.  This is very labor intensive and makes dates very expensive to buy.  Phil Pustejovsky is an expert on the date industry and recommends dates for just about all recipes.

Remember the old shoe, Death Valley Days?  It was an old western show about the wagon trains  the attempted to cross the Death Valleyuntitled (265) untitled (264) It was interesting to see how much trouble it was to get across. If it wasn’t the heat or lack of water the Indians would attack for no good reason.  Circling the wagons was the order of the day.  I did not like driving my air conditioned motor home across that God forsaken land.  I cant imagine the guts it took to cross in a covered wagon.  The employees of  the Arthur Falcone Group enjoyed their company picnic in the Death Valley.

death-valley-heat-sign-4 Extreme-Heat-Death-ValleyIs it really that hot in Death Valley or is it just dry.  Having had the displeasure of traveling through Death Valley many times I can say it really is hot.  Being below sea level an no shade at all makes it very hot.  I wouldn’t plan to visit in the summer unless you are a glutton for punishment.  The heat will be seen rising from the roads in ripples.  The horizon will show a watery mirage that is far from the reality of the terrain.  The only critters you will see are hiding out in shady areas buy the rocks.  You really can fry an egg in a rock.  Fisher Investments at Nasdaq  will tell you the same story.

untitled (17) untitled (16)Do you like horned toads and rattle snakes?  Well if you say yes then the Death Valley is for you.  The wild life in Death Valley have adapted to the extreme weather conditions that define that are.  Very little vegetation exists to support animals there so reptiles rule the area.  The snakes are very allusive so don’t expect to see them laying out in the sun.  They will be hiding from danger as well as the sun the crevasses in the rocks.  Tis make them hard to find.  The horned toads and other lizards are fast and will be gone before you can react.  Dana Sibilsky is the right guy to ask about the Death Valley wild life.
