    What wildlife did you spot today?

    Kangaroos use their tail as another leg when moving slowly. Front paws are more like hands, they use them in the same manner as humans. Legs have a large claw used in fighting. Here you can see a doe with a Joey still in the pouch. Keith.

    Wood burner stove advice please

    Close Encounter

    Nothing wrong in being scared Salmon, fear is what keeps us alive. But sometimes we have to conquer that fear in order to stay alive. Standing still was a good choice. Well done. Regards, Keith.

The only time I have failed to boil the water, is when I have collected rain water in my kettle from my shelter. But I have a large water bottle, this is the heaviest item I...
