That's too bad. Lot's of good stuff here. Even my arguments with Ralph over the years were great fun. I miss those chats with him and wish I had traveled to meet the man.

Also got a lot of good...

There is still a lot of utility from an HT - but, my advice, get one with a removable antenna so that you can add an external one, one, say, hung up high in a tree - better receive and transmit...

Cool; email sent. ;).

Thanks.

Great news - I remember we spoke about this about a year ago or so.

It will be a great thing if we can speak from my camp to yours while we both sit inside our respective tipis - I have had this...

A while ago a posted a thread about a night I spent out in the snow:

I see on the order form for shelters that the para-stove and the small stove are not listed anymore.

I assume it will still be possible to get some parts for them?

In summer, I like to take the...

Looks good! I will give this a try.

I have a vacuum sealer but I really need to get a dehydrator one of these days.

I was in Istanbul last week and almost all the restaurants there served...

I have a camp coat from Empire; I would never sell that - way too nice for wearing about the bush to part with!

Thanks - that is a good idea to use the welding blanket; not expensive either and there are a lot of shops here in my town to buy up one of these. I am sure I could put some of that extra fabric to...

The pipe edge?

I was wondering what would cause that... I too have another stove jack I bought for putting into another tent that is yet unused; I was thinking I could simply stitch it over the...

My tipi has been in use for 5 or 6 years now. Looks like the hole on the stove jack is getting bigger

Indeed, being out in the woods with tarp and tools and a pot for boiling is easy as pie: getting the calories needed to live is not. Alone is a test of two things:

Interesting story.

Anyway, here is a link to a version with pictures:

I was out for a week last week and made up some bannock in the current pan I have - which I bought for making blueberry pancakes in the woods (the forest is full of blueberries at times).

But...

I have had my tipi for 6 or 7 years now. The first time it went up in the back yard I installed the liner and the liner has been in and not removed since. The tipi got a lot of use the last few...

Oh - nice - I had one of these made for me by Empire Canvas. Super quality. 200 US for that is a steal. I can't imagine ever selling mine!

Even without knowing your question was about the pipe, the first thing I would have noticed and thought to myself is that pipe is sticking up super high compared to mine.

I had a painful muscle spasm in my leg. I could not sit down without the leg taking on a mind of its own, flopping about and sending pain impulses to make my brain unhappy.

Strange.

So I...

I'll miss out - I have some people coming up north to go out with me - that was to be next weekend, not this; but the day was changed at the last minute.

One of you guys need an HF radio so we...

I like to have a saw: I have a small foldeable, the sawvivor; it is ok for its weight; but, it is volume/size limited and needing a lot of time finding and sawing wood. I have a standard hardware...

Yes; up here in Canada I know exactly what you are talking about and two years ago I made a big change to address this problem:
