Although i have spent a ridiculous proportion of my 60 plus outdoors, winter and summer, and have so far survived some pretty near misses involving weather conditions which can at times be brutal in both southern and northern canada, the first time i heard someone mention “winter camping” i kind of went, huh? Trapping one …
they got most of it right!
Even the most insane amongst us get some bits right. We do need a new world, just not a new world ORDER. Order, after all, is desired only by those with the insane desire to control our lives, those who think they alone know what is best for us. But if you consider the bumbling …
the mostly peaceful war
"Globally we are so far above the population and consumption levels that can be supported by this planet that I know that one way or another it's going to come back down so I don't hope to avoid that. I hope that it can occur in a civil way, and I mean civil in a, …

the climate is a fearsome enemy desperately needing to be tamed! There are those, some would call them short-sighted folk, or perhaps use less charitable descriptors, who believe it is hypocritical to take to the global media megaphone microphone and announce that we need to tighten their belts and stop burning valuable energy units and …
