Re: ideal fires

Hi Tombo,

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you were starting a comp, what I meant was I didn't want to sart one unwittingly.
I know why I find it so rewarding to gather wood, because the smells, the sights, the creechurs, the lichen, the moss, the bryophitic glory of old deciduous woodland just grabs me by all the senses, and I can get lost for hours just 'being', with a nice fire to look forward to when it gets chilly later on.

I do like the radiator next to our flushing toilet tho ;-) Off topic alert...back to ancients and time on their hands. The whole 'outdoors' life is more itinerant and, er, organic. It just sort of falls in to place. You can't help being 'connected' to nature, as you're governed by it, and working with her is so much more rewarding and enabling than working against her. A marriage of heaven and earth depends on what one considers heaven. It's all in the mind and heart I guess.
