Built from service, study, and real work
I built SalarsNet to make useful things easier to find.
SalarsNet is my independent workshop and storefront for practical AI, inner work, self-reliance, collecting, and honest commerce. The subjects are broad. The reason behind them is not.
The short version
This did not start as a marketing idea.
I spent 20 years in the Marine Corps and roughly 15 years leading the Silver City Gospel Mission. Those years taught me to keep promises, stretch scarce resources, and pay attention to what people actually need.
I formed Ranmon Inc in 2014 and kept building. I worked with AI, wrote about consciousness and spirituality, created Dreamweavings, collected coins, hunted for treasure, studied preparedness, wrote poetry, and ran a local store. For a long time, those parts of my work lived in separate corners.
SalarsNet brings them into one place. AI can help you protect your time. Inner work can help you protect your attention. Good information and well-described goods can help you make your own decisions. That is the thread.
People do not need more noise. They need a clear next step, a useful tool, and enough truth to make their own decision.

What I stand for here
Usefulness over noise
If an idea cannot help you think, choose, or act, it has not earned your time.
Truth over posture
Claims should come with a source, a test, or honest first-person experience.
Independence over dependency
Good tools should give you more control of your time, attention, money, and choices.
Care over pressure
No fear-based selling, fake deadlines, buried caveats, or shame dressed up as motivation.
A simple promise
I will tell you what I know, what I tested, and what I am still unsure about. Product pages should show clear photos, condition notes, limits, and expectations. Content should leave you better able to think for yourself, not more dependent on me.
A real place in Silver City
The local store keeps the work grounded.
Salars.net operates a small store at 31 Bear Mountain Rd in Silver City, New Mexico. It carries collectible coins and supplies, books, emergency gear, consumer goods, and seasonal locally grown food. Store visits are available by appointment; contact us before stopping by.
