I haven't quite finished reading it yet but I'm enjoying the story so far. As you say it's a good old fashion adventure. The book was recommended by a guy called Dr Aaron Asay in a Youtube interview a few months ago. He's a covert medic and a Major in the U.S. Air Force who immediately rushes...

We're currently passing through the tail of a comet so keep your eyes peeled for any unusual phenomenon in the sky over the next couple of days.

A quick update. I tried the EDZ merino boxers and like homesicksteve found them to be too tight. I did also buy some EDZ merino vests and fingerless gloves which both fit well and are comfy. Their products feel good quality and their customer service department were helpful. I have now bought...

High chance of aurora tonight.

An excellent wilderness survival novel.

LOL. Yeah right. :D My forecast outlook has not changed at all but the time frame for it most certainly has (my predictions often have a habit of being way too premature but ultimately still correct). It's looking far more likely that we'll have to wait for another two or three months longer...
