A Bear Et My Kayak – Part 1
Pistol Creek Longhouse June, 2022 It had been three years since I had set up my first big longhouse – enough time to forget what a pain in the ass it was and for it to sound like a lovely idea. Why not take a couple of weeks off, set up a forty-foot longhouse on...
Making a 12′ Drop Cloth Tipi
Making a tipi can be tedious; it involves sewing numerous strips of canvas together until you have a large enough piece to cut your pattern from. Buying a pre-made cover is expensive, for the same reason. For several years, Billy Maxwell has been telling me...

Easter Longhouse.

Atomic Lighter – Rechargeable Plasma lighter
I bought this for a fly and camp outing last year. I wanted a reliable ignition source which was safe to carry on an airplane. This is also wind proof and really nice for cold weather, when butane lighters become unreliable. It recharges with a USB charger. I wrapped...

Good Morning
6/17/26 5:30 53F (11.6C) Calm. The sky is still dull blue, waiting for the spark of sunlight to appear. With luck, the rabbits should begin nesting. I have been working on the hutch, pulling the arbor back upright and bracing it in place, but I need to build...

Good Morning
6/15/26 6:00 53F (11.6C) Blue sky, still air. Sprayers are whining, birds are singing. Walter is up at the fence, barking. The chickens are still cooped up. I can hear the rooster chasing the hens around inside the henhouse, insisting on his due. Good morning....
