    Drying Tomatoes.

    Generally we just add them to stews Robson, though they are very tasty to nibble on :) For some reason or other we do not have many tomatoes this year, but normally there are so many that we simply have to bottle or dry them. Keith.

    Drying meat is a good way of preserving meat for the home & for trail food. I hope forum members pay attention to this, because it may become necessary in the very near future. Keith.

    I spent a lot of my youth in South Wales Tony, I had family there. I do miss those days being up on the mountain in the clouds. Of course it was coal then, not wood, my Grandfather & Uncles worked down the coal mines. I guess it has changed a lot since those days. Keith.

    I agree re the insulation swyn, definitely worthwhile. The weather is getting hotter here every year now & we are wondering what else we can do to keep the temperature down in summer. I don't think there is much else we can do. Keith.

    Good one Robson, I feel the same way about living in a forest in the mountains, I could not stand living in the city, or a town for that matter. Sounds like you are set up pretty good, come what may. I will be glad when winter comes around again, I don't like the heat. Regards, Keith.

    Very sorry to hear that Robson, a hell of a place to be. Leaves you with very little choice.

    Good one Red :) I have a large crosscut saw hanging in the big woodshed. Good to have a back-up :) Obviously I still have a felling axe & I have several block busters for splitting the logs. Keith.

    Paying the heating bill

    When I was a kid in West Sussex England I used to cut Elm down with a felling axe & had to drag the logs across fields which were sometimes flooded. My Father & I would then cut them into fire logs with a crosscut saw. I am getting old now, so try to make the work as easy as I can, but it is...
