First got introduced to them back in 1990. RE: GPS and compasses. The New England Region has many areas which are not GPS friendly as I have discovered in my wanderings. Similarly, there are also places, due to the high content of iron in the ground, where compass readings get a little weird. One should learn how to navigate without the aid of either. Local area knowledge is essential! I find it amazing when I talk to people who have no idea of what's right down the road from them. The Delorme atlases are excellent!

Here's a funny story that happened last winter. FYI: our family has heated our home for over 50 years but my wife is a newbie. We place our ashes in a metal bucket and let it sit outside for several days before we move it to a bag. Several times my wife gets antsy and wants to rush this process only to have our neighbor call and tell us the bag is on fire. OK, now she does it one better. This time she puts the bag into the garbage can I come home one day to see smoke coming from our garage. My heart is racing as you can imagine and when I open the door thick smoke billows out for hours. What happened is the garbage can smoldered and melted. So, I purchase another one and plead with her not to put the ash in the garbage until "garbage night". She follows my advice and takes it up to the top of the road. Well guess what? No lie, the neighbors by the road called us to let us know our garbage can is on fire. Morrow of the story: follow the advice in this blog because it's the only way to go. <a href="http://www.woodstovesguide.com" rel="nofollow">Wood Stoves Guide</a> You covered just about everything in this post.

Those videos were very interesting. The gov does seem to make up the laws as they go, and MOST people are too scared to stand up and question their authority. Great post.

I have already printed this out and will pass it on to my friend. I'm impressed with your lighting tips. I also say that lighting a fire is like cooking.. i have a real strange way of doing it - but hey it still burns so who cares. Would you be interested in writing a follow up post to this on our new blog? Send me an email you would. Wow what an amazing post! I have already printed this out and will pass it on to my friend.
