buildings like this July religion is listening to beautiful rain let's office right over my tent I tense not quite in the middle imposed the back creating that livingroom space in front I have some oak logs burning good ember base don't worry about that that's solid it's on the edge of my top underneath my living room so have some protection there as well when you get a little set up not too shabby a little bit of rains in the woods and I have a good full living room set up a little place to sleep I like to use this Kelty tent during the summer when I have to worry about ticks and stuff I've gotten some pretty bad bites of either taking medication things like that like really bad bites that got infected so I use these little vestibule tents as a Kelty get myself a bucket but sleep in with the net all enclosed and chick seasons done in the winter and I'll pull out all the things sometimes it's lay on the ground sleeping bag in a survival blanket sometimes I'll use a la bouff of canvas wobbu I like that a lot pays on a summer sometimes - I'm feeling daring and I want to go to an area that I know doesn't have a lot of tips that I've never wanted to take that particular place I have a few campsites that I have that I've used in the past some sites I can get away with just sleeping on the ground right on my blanket

[Applause]

then my flyer is protected doing well and I could be cooking right now if I wanted it I have decided I'm hungry very late but I feel like having something to eat I have something off mix drop it into a cup of water and a half kind of like an oatmeal

it's nice to tell my stomach mmm late at night

hottie bit off mix light rain falling completely no effort abducted fire nice logs one thing you have to do is push them in every once in a while don't have to even put any more fuel on like staying up late gives me a chance to have less distractions so if is bless dear ailing me around then I have a chance to cycle through thoughts and emotions and things that are kind of hung up floating around reflect back on things think about past conversations this is fantastic nice feeling to be perceptive from the elements right have a stable five and I carried this this house on my back I didn't take a lot the very like 10 3 4 pounds something I thought plenty big enough for me go top over it so I'm sweetheart that's just about it later though

I find maple sugar a waste in coffee cuz I just go through tons of this stuff and if I want to just this much maple sugar I'd be pretty bummed out because it's a lot of work to make it right on right on right on right on right on it comes a coffee a joyous occasion
