You can get this kind of scenery in the Ozarks!

May have to plan a trek on the Ozark Highlands or Ouachita trail. Adn all would be welcome,,Arkansas is pretty central.

Very cool! I have never slept in a quinzee or igloo, but we used to do an annual snow camp in our wall tent. We would stomp the snow down to pack it into a floor and set up the tent. We had a woodstove inside so it was pretty comfortable. I have been much colder camping in the rain versus snow,,I'll...

Today I just got home from a great experience. I have posted here before about the Roman fort and celtic village here in Arkansas, well this weekend we started another celtic longhouse. There were some modern tools used like a chainsaw and "mule" utility vehicle to tow logs out of the wood...

Sorry it took me so long to get this posted, but with illness and the holidays,,you know. I now present a beautiful hand carved birch drinking noggin from Udwin. Enclosed I also found a letter detailing the year of Aistan Bear-foot. I know that this noggin will serve me well in my travels and aid in...

Ringulf, I am glad that you are happy with yours. I was nervous because there is so much quality work here.

Udwin, I greatly appreciate the wooden noggin you made, it will serve me well. I also enjoyed your letter.

I am felling under the weather today so I haven't taken any pictures yet.

Mine went out today. 20th sounds good!
