    Diamonds and cold weather

    I've slept in my diamond's year round since 2005. sometime's with a fire some without. there's many a trick to it, bedding and insulation being the most important. a "good" fire in the front of the diamond by the front support works very well but,,,,wind play's a major role in how comfortable...

    Ol' Jeremiah

    the Mrs and I spent a day in cody and went through the buffalo bill museum on our way to Yellowstone 18 plus years ago, luckily for her it was before I was bitten by the ML bug or the vacation would've lasted longer there. I do wish to revisit that area again after reading about all I missed...

    camp box
