Diana Whynacht – Mrs. LFM

My incomparable Wife Diana – She who I routinely refer to as Mrs. LFM – is my muse and runs a one woman show as Large Fierce Mammal Webmistress, Editor in Chief, Photographer, and Research Department. She contributes behind the scene, even if only by giving her stamp of approval, to all the content that gets published here, and occasionally contributes articles in her own right. This tends to happen when she holds particularly strong opinions on a matter, the subject is best treated from a woman’s perspective, or both.

Diana was born in Poland, but came to Canada with her family when she was four years of age, and grew up in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. Beautiful, brilliant, fierce, determined, tenacious, and absolutely competent in everything she does, she joined me in running Whynacht Security & Survival in 2003 where she works as our consultant in surveillance technology and IT security. A gifted dog behaviourist, she has been training and rehabilitating dogs since 2002, and continues to do so professionally with our other organization, Golden Mountain Dog Solutions.

All this and she’s a phenomenal cook fluent in three languages. She’s my reward for something!

Eric E. Noeldechen

Eric Noeldechen is a passionate outdoorsman with a cool last name. His advice on pronouncing it – Noel ( Christmas Noel) De ( De-triment) Chen ( Shen). Others pronounce it KnowElDeChen (at least that tells you where put the acCENT so it gets on the right syllAble). Having gone through life with a last name like Whynacht, and Mrs. LFM having the maiden name of Kleszczynski, we both understand the weight of the cross he bears.

When I asked him for a bio to fill this space, this is how he explained himself: “Father of three. Heavily involved in Scouting and bringing Scouting back to what it once was; i. e., Outdoorsmanship.
Naturalist Outdoorsman/Fisher/Hunter/Gatherer, Artist (Metal Sculptor), Apprentice Bladesmith and Amateur Hugelkulturist.”

To that, I would add that Eric makes some hellishly good Concealex knife carry systems.

The picture Eric supplied came with his personal observation, “Kind of everything I like rolled into one…”
