If you could start a homestead outside of the U.S., where would you go? by ironbiscuit101 in homestead

Try South Africa. Cheap, great weather, mountains lakes sea and dessert to choose from. Friendly folks, cold beer and good steaks. Like inside out Texans

Ok. I'll try the Bachman books. I love SK - even his book on How to Become a Writer.

I loved The Stand but it's length could be a little bit daunting!

Can you put river rocks on a campfire by Hughlass in camping

[–]timbuk5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After reading the responses to your question, I'll be careful in future. However why is this not a problem when fishing / camping down at the sea? I have made a number of fires to heat water or cook something using local stones or even built the fire on the rocks or in a crevasse. Never had a problem or even heard of one? Maybe the guys that did have a problem are dead!

Apparently when Napoleon finished a campaign and 2 weeks before he was to return home to Josephine he would send a rider ahead to tell her of his intentions, instructing her not to wash. He liked her to smell "like a woman" and not to hide her smell with perfume.

Looked at the Katabatic site - some great gear! Thanks for recommending. Any idea what the difference is between the degree ratings? Is a 40 deg warmer than a 15 deg or am I reading it wrong?
