Yeah, great to be back DFZ. I know lighting a fire in rain is a good skill to have, but learning it while you're tripping balls up high in a mountain with a complete stranger that is stressing you out beyond any reason is not the way to do it.downwardsfromzero said:Great to hear from you Nydex!
In addition to what has been said above, forgive me for adding - lighting a fire in the rain is a skill well worth developing. Had you taken a dip in the lake beforehand it may have given you more of an incentive towards success
You could have a point there. :lol: Had you succeeded, it might mean that due to the resultant conditioning you'd only ever be able to light a fire in the rain if your were up a mountain tripping balls while a stranger is stressing you out, and that sounds rather impractical in the long term. Speaking from experience, I'll still stand by the bit about going for a swim first, however - perhaps rather not while tripping, of course.Nydex said:Yeah, great to be back DFZ.

Alpaca farming seems like a very worthwhile stint, undoubtedly. It's not an easy life, but it has its advantages over comfort-saturated life in big cities.downwardsfromzero said:Thanks for sharing the pics of the lovely scenery, it made me long for the mountains while briefly considering giving it all up and taking up alpaca farming instead.
Are you back home now, or is your adventure still to continue?
