Here’s a fellow getting a year’s worth of firewood together….in Sweden. It doesn’t matter that it’s in Sweden….just makes it a little more exotic. Putting wood up is the same all over the world, though….you cut, you split, you dry, … Continue reading
Another great video from the “Northmen” YouTube channel. This time, it’s a young guy who lives for a time without modern conveniences….like the video says: 240 days in 10th Century conditions. It’s subtitled….and…there’s a goat killing segment…so…if you’re squeamish about … Continue reading

I watched a movie called “The Hero” the other night. Pretty good movie. I like Sam Elliot. Something about the cadence of his speech. He could sell a butt-load of barbecue sauce with a voice like that. This is a … Continue reading
