I liked the idea that the timber would be split by sweat rather than petroleum...<br /><br />The Kelly Kettle is a joyous thing to use - you know how we English are about our tea... <br /><br />Fresh boiling water everytime.<br /><br />No need to carry fuel because the Kelly Kettle uses whatever is there; dried grass, leaves, stems of dried nettles or hogweed, twigs or wood split to get to the dry fibres inside... It boils two and half Imperial pints of water in four minutes on a windy day, on calm days it takes about six or seven.<br /><br />The hammock is a special treat on hot summer days when the fish are waiting for the glare to ease and the flies to put in an appearance.<br /><br />http://141207.blogspot.com/2007/12/dreaming.html<br /><br />Regular RodRegular Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04412350204961563932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725820531987570568.post-7135223514357898222011-12-21T18:14:28.949+00:002011-12-21T18:14:28.949+00:00"I must not neglect the opportunity right nex..."I must not neglect the opportunity right next to me"...great reminder, on so many levels.
