    Nothing wrong with the quiet life at all. Good to get away.

    Yup, Coffee, and it's all your fault. I even had to have a perking pot sent over. It was nice to finally get out and sleep under canvassy stuff for a couple of nights.

    Nice. I like that fire pit thingy.
    I had a compass, but without a map, it's just a cool toy to show you where oceans and ice are.

    I was pretty proud of myself. I managed to pack everything for 4 days camping (including food) into a medium ALICE pack. The only hanger-on was my sleeping bag.

    Looks like a great time. There's nothing like perked coffee as well except for a spot of tea now and then. I think there is enough "good stuff" in my junk pile to make a firepit thingie like yours.

    Cool Well...

    Looks great, even though I feel about coffee the same way Winnie feels about iced sweet tea! Winnie, do you know how to make "cowboy coffee?"....

    Cowboy Coffee according to the recipe I was given:

    1. Boil 1 quart of water
    2. Pour in 1 pound of coffee and let steep
    3. Take your bandana and use it to blow your nose
    4. Filter the coffee through your bandana into your boot
    5. Drink coffee from your boot

    Did you have another recipe in mind?

    So, did the Isles run out of tea or something? Nice that you didn't need a caravan.

    Didn't you know my middle name is Mary Poppins? LOL The firepits are provided free of charge at the campsite. The owner makes them hinmself from a disc harrow disc, wheel rim and some plate metal. He's a very handy chap.
