  1. My favorite magazine - Charlie Ritchie does a good job with that one. I've written several articles in the past for it - it is well worth reading, especially if you like to spend time outdoors. If you haven't seen it yet, I also highly recommend it.

  2. I am considering purchasing the 4 volume set. At $45.00 including shipping, I think it would be a great deal. Vol. 1 and 2 have been combined into one book. Vol.s 3 and 4 are separate books.

  3. I have all three issues myself, that last one is good! Ritchie packs in a lot of little factoids / hints in odd corners, its kinda fun hunting around the ads and seeing other little tidbits that aren't articles but still yet teach. The front issue feedback columns too are great.

  5. Yeah, I'm ok. I have just been reading everyone else's blogs and fiddling around with my gear. I am also working on several posts related to my gear, I'm just not finished yet. Thanks for asking!

  6. Just received the July / August issue - houseboat article is very interesting reading. I always thought a houseboat along a little used waterway might be a good way to BO and stay safe. Food nearby. No paths leading to your home. Yeah, not too bad. Never having done so, there are probably some downsides.
