Living is harmful to your health as every one dies from it. One of my favorite movie scenes is from Apocalypse now where the cook mutters insanely “Never leave the boat”. So, the concern for men and post menopausal women is that cast iron cooking may cause iron poisoning.

My dog came lock the door using this latch. I almost never lock the windows just so I can push through the screen.

Gently shake the handle while gently turning the key. Kinda like turning a key in a car to release the steering wheel lock.

You can buy special 1lb bottles and the kit to refill them. The kit includes a fill valve that attaches to a 20lb bottle and a stand to hold the 20lb bottle upside down. Some national parks no longer accept disposable 1lb bottles. I have 6 refillable bottles and keep several ready to go: stoves...

There are also bear fences for the outback. Which Is The Best Electric Bear Fence For Camping in 2025 I have one but never used it.

An old post from 2022 on my experience with a battery to run the AC. What Is The One Thing From 2022...

Older Honda 2000 generators struggled a bit to start the ac but the new versions work fine. I have a Lion battery set that runs the AC ok. I have a soft start on my garage shelf but never installed it as there were some reviews that indicated problems with it in a single a/c application...
