Exciting News!

My Beautiful Bride and I have been invited down to Florida to visit a friend, outdoor survival practicioner, and fellow blogger...my friend Molawns!

Next April, Molawns will be our guide to experience Florida's scenery, culture and history before we escape to Myakka River State Park to explore, hike, kayak, fish and practice a some subtropical bushcraft & survival skills.

As we face another long, cold winter, T. and I will take great comfort in researching, planning and preparing for this once in a lifetime adventure together, and we will be sure to share it with you upon our return next Spring.

It's really nice to have something to look forward to.

"late autumn - the first snows"

Get out the winter kit now, Mr. B...
