Midweek trip in the French Ardennes

[Ruud]

We made a midweek trip to Monthermé, France, a great place to set up camp. I made a few short videos which I'll post below:

Nice videos, thanks for posting; only, whats the guy doing in the background of the wood processing vid, it looks rude

that's me sawing a birch tree into piece with just a Laplander folding saw, we had a hard time gathering dry wood, since it had rained for a whole week.
