HOW TO BUILD A CAMPFIRE

AXES

I grew up slinging an axe to split wood to heat our family home during the bone-chilling cold winters down south. I was young, so I don't remember the brand of axe or where it came from, I just remember it being a double-sided axe. My dad taught me the details of wood splitting and when the axe would not split it, I would use the wedge and sledge hammer.

Since I am outfitting my rig for expedition status, having a good axe on board is a good idea, so I am just doing my research and it seems everthing is touched by technology these days and sametime, there are the classics that are great as well.

I came across this article:

Awesome book so far as I have just started reading it. The big surprise has been the history of the "GRID" itself - General Electric. Good stuff!

NorthFace Mountain Sneaker

2010 Edition of the NorthFace Mountain Sneaker.
I bought these at Sierra Trading Outlet August 2011 - yep, I'm cheap and look for the sales!

First impression - COMFORTABLE! These are going to replace my Nike ACG's and will be more of my day-to-day work shoe and the Teva's I just purchased will be my in-the-dirt work shoes.
