Our (humans) natural element is not the woods. It is urban or suburban.
Yes, humans used to be a part of the woods - in our hunter-gatherer days.

Hell, in hunter-gatherer days to have ADHD was a PLUS! But we do not live in those times...

Our natural element is the town, the city or the suburb.

Those on farms are running microtowns.

Anywhere else is not our domain.

It belongs to the animals we haven't displaced.

Weren't the towns, cities and suburbs once the woods before it was built up? what about the animals displaced then?

The natural element for leeches,beggers and losers does seem to be heavily urban areas often so he speaks the truth for his kin.
Unfortunately decent citizens also have to forge out an existence and to support them so many have to frequent the population centers as well while the rest of us forge on in the country still being bled dry by those who have collected in their natural element.

Well, the Taverner primitive's utterly free to ameliorate the situation somewhat, about displacing the animals.

He can make room for the animals.

I don't think I have to explicitly state what the Taverner primitive can do, to make it happen.

DUmmy Taverner has to live in the city, because it's much harder to buy illegal intravenous drugs out in the country.

He's also closer to the emergency room for when he gets a hot dose and ODs.

Speak for yourself. My domain is anywhere I say it is.
My choice would be to live in a cabin in the woods. Not to hear loud music, but to listen to the wind through the pines. To build a roaring fire. To drink from a pure spring. To eat the animals you have displaced.

Sure sounds a lot like where I live, Bubba. I'm about 10 miles outa town. I can see my neighbors house but only when the leaves fall. The bass in the lake are always good for a spur of the moment feast, and the Doe and her twins stop by once a day to make sure the apples that have fallen off the tree don't go to waste. Oh yeah, the moose occasionally stop by for a meal in the wetlands adjacent to the lake.

I think the Blue Heron hatched a whole mess of babies this year, as did the Sand Hill Crane, and the Ducks and Geese numbered well past 50.

Saw my first albino hummingbird in my feeders this year, along with countless others who stop by for my hospitality.



The occasional turtle that saunters thru entertains the hell outa my cats, and the garter snakes make great play toys.

The squirrels cuss at me every morning when I open the shop and keep me busy in the winter feeding them.

Lousy place to live, wouldn't you agree, TavernLeech? With all those displaced animals and all.

Heck I live in town on the Florida coastal area and we have Sandhills, Gators, Deer, Otter, Bobcats and all that displaced wildlife all around us. The poor refugee Sandhills will even come to the front door and hollar for my wife to come out and hand feed them because they're so scared.

Rover,

That is a nice stove setup.  How do you control the combustion on that unit? 

I can't tell if that handle below the doors controls your air intake, or if it's a cleanout.

I can't tell if that handle below the doors controls your air intake, or if it's a cleanout. 

You can barely make out the silver slide just below the front doors to control the combustion.  The handle below that is the ash pan.  What I like about this model is that you can actually use it with the front doors open and a screen attached for a fireplace like mode, side door also for easy loading of 24" logs.  Link below to the Jotul F600 Filrelight.

That stove heats the entire 24X34 cabin. Bedrooms at 62, living room, kitchen and loft at 70 no problem, on occasion it is necessary to open the windows when I stuff more than three sticks in there at a time. It really saves on Propane.

Better photo of the single combustion handle of the stove attached.

A big dose of attempted justification (failed) there.  I was kinda wondering when the (D)Ullards were going to start this nonsense.  The lIbErAls have been penning a few articles here and there, about the wondrous urban experience, how utterly superior they are in cities, blah, blah, blah, ad nauseum  :puke:

Looks pretty damn close to mine. Heats the whole house to the point I have to open windows. Course I have triple pane windows up here in the cold country. So unless it gets pretty cold I can heat the place with a coupla candles.


"Toots" is in Spokane still, so you can tell my house cleaning chores are pretty lax, heh, heh.
