I walk down in that valley 3 or 4 times a week with my dogs. The dogs find the occasional deer down there to chase after so everybody wins.<br />I never thought about making a fire there for lunch. Perhaps I&#39;ll take the kids this weekend for lunch and marshmallows.<br />Have a great Christmas<br />FarPointAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17081666.post-48633309443603380812010-12-13T13:15:36.738-05:002010-12-13T13:15:36.738-05:00Thank you Toyin, and thank you WolfCrafter! Really appreciate it.

FWIW, they also sell a spare blade for it - BUT it&#39;s supposedly a bit dodgy (I have no first hand experience though), so might be better to order a spare online if you want one.Paul (EnglishManInOntario)http://www.blogger.com/profile/18247852265257146710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17081666.post-23010622701104701812010-12-08T16:10:40.519-05:002010-12-08T16:10:40.519-05:00That is a super awesome looking vintage rucksack.<br /><br />Thankfully it&#39;s been cold here (By Florida&#39;s standards, at least) and I would love nothing more than to go out and fire up the old rocket stove, but we&#39;re under a HUGE wildfire warning.
