After finishing "The good Life" by dorian amos ( excellent book! ) i have been thinking about Canada more and more.
Don't laugh but i am giving myself a time frame of 4 years till my kids are old enough and i can do something similar.
So, during that time i will have to save up money and learn a host of skills that i will need to survive, No; why survive when you can LIVE with nature?
I realy should make a list of things to do but i have been thinking about hygene as in the top ten priorities whilst in the bush.
As i am talking about long term i thought it would be a good idea how to learn to make soap. I have read the recipe on here ( basically rendered fat, water and wood ash )but i need to know how to render fat from say a moose or deer.
google won't give me a straight answer so i was wondering if you guys know . I understand that rendered fat can also be used as a lamp.
Anyhow, thats the plan. It may be a flash in the pan or i may be being seen off by a bunch of you in 4 years with tear drenched hankies waving but it's keeping me busy in the meantime so wheres the harm?
It's good to dream
