This is a simple camping stove I built a few years ago. I used it during the Na Pali Coast Hike when I was in Kauai. The stove works very simply and very effectively. Capfuls of denatured alcohol are poured onto the top of the stove and allowed to drain in. Once full, a few […]

I was experimenting with prolonged exposure photography at the campfire the other night and I got a few interesting shots. This image was shot with my Canon T2I Eos Rebel; ISO 100, 18mm, f/14, 30″, RAW image format. With a tripod I pointed the camera in a direction with little eminating light, I reached into […]

If you think you might enjoy fresh mussels at almost no cost and you’re not already picking them this article might be for you.
