    Then you will love this one Odyssey thanks for sticking with it, had a few hiccups that got in the way of getting what i wanted to get done, all sorted now though. When you're alone in the wilderness you sometimes find moments of true peace, it is at times like this when I feel I could stay in...

    I did find remains of loads of stuff like smoke houses and smoked fish processing building, i figured all the 'plantation like' trees in perfect rows was all about producing the wood for the smoke houses, i read loads of info boards here and there in the area which were showing the smoke houses...

    Aye Dave it was that first night of heavy snow that brought all that orange down with it, i remember noticing the transition of noise through the trees change overnight, a 7mph wind rustles through trees covered in orange and green leaves, that same 7mph wind ripped and tore through them very...

    Canoe Tripping Across the Planet Earth in an Old Town Katahdin Under Captain Bod

    The next morning i woke to a really bright sun and the world was filled with orange, more orange than i have ever seen in my life, so i grabbed my camera and took a walk up the portage between Hitchins Pond and Low's Lake to build an appetite for breakfast and take it all in

    Question: Never Boat Alone

    My plan, my pace, my route choice, my own company, the solitude, to escape from the constantly being available thing of modern day, to escape from other people talking, to hear myself think and finish a sentence or two in my head without being interrupted, a mind enema that flushes out stress...

    wood gasifier stoves

    Ferro rods...

    I don't buy bulk but buyer beware, there are loads of shady far too soft ones out there on the market, you grind down them with your scraper and it gouges through the rod giving hardly any white hot sparks for the amount of material removed, they also snap easily when cold

    I've had a look at several and either way it is several hundred bucks lighter in the wallet and so far have not been able to find one to suit me needs, essential it is 1.
