The Firekeeper Ledger

A place to help keep the Timberline fire burning.

Every camp needs a fire.

At Timberline, the main trail stays open for everyone. You can walk in, find a chair, listen to the stories, and sit near the stove without owing a thing.

But if a scene, a character, a line, or a podcast episode has given you something worth keeping, you can help keep the fire burning.

Buy a Log for the Fire is a simple way to support Timberline with a one-time gift.

Every log helps us keep improving Timberline — the stories, the podcast, the images, and the world growing around Tahoma’s Shadow.

This is not a tollgate.

It is a way to toss a little wood on the fire.

Choose What to Bring

$10 — 🪵 Buy a Log for the Fire 🔥
A good solid log for the Timberline stove.

$25 — Bring an Armload
For readers and listeners who want to carry a little more wood into camp.

Around here, the warmth matters more than the size of the log.

Monthly Firekeepers

For those who want to support Timberline month after month, there are also monthly Firekeeper levels.

Forest Keeper
Help keep Timberline rooted.

River Keeper
Help keep the stories moving.

Mountain Strong
Help Timberline stand steady month after month.

Monthly support helps us continue creating and improving stories, podcast episodes, images, character pieces, logging terms, and reflections from the world of Tahoma’s Shadow.

No extra rewards are promised with Forest Keeper or River Keeper. They are simply a way to stand with the work and help keep the stories moving.

Mountain Strong supporters will receive a personalized, signed copy of Tahoma’s Shadow once the book is released. No release date is promised yet.

To receive the signed-copy thank-you, supporters must be active at the Mountain Strong level when Tahoma’s Shadow is released. Please enter and keep a current email address and contact information at the time of payment so I can reach you when the book is ready.

For supporters outside the United States, international shipping costs and any customs, duties, taxes, or related fees will be the supporter’s responsibility.

Thank you for helping keep the fire warm, the stories alive, and the Mountain standing strong.
