"The USA in 1900 wasn’t a backwards country. In fact, it had one of the most advanced economies in the world. The Industrial Revolution might have started in Britain, but by the Great Exhibition in 1851 the British were amazed at the variety and quality of things being made in the USA. Even so, if people could do something themselves they generally did. They didn’t hesitate to take on big jobs, either – many turn of the century DIY projects were a lot more ambitious than putting up some new shelves in the den. In this book we’ll look at some typical projects our not so distant ancestors were familiar with, and which can still improve our lives today."

The cabins in finnish national parks are free to use and always clean. We love it.

Spiace ammetterlo ma i cugini francesi il turismo lo sanno fare meglio di noi.

Trovate lo stesso labirinto su uno dei pilastri della cattedrale di Lucca o a Chamois, nel cuore delle Alpi.

Un mazzo di fiori per l'8 marzo.

A Chamois, il comune dove si vive senza auto, è tornato per la giornata internazionale della donna il labirinto 8.3 dedicato all'altra metà del cielo.

Riproduce un labirinto disegnato nella prima metà del XII secolo.

Auguri!

First overnighter in 6 months.
Picked up a used tent a few weeks ago and finally put it to work in the snow and sub-zero temperatures.
Clear skies. Stars everywhere.
Exactly what I needed. ❄️⛺️

Yes, You Need to Clean Your #WinterGear Before Storing It for the Season

"As we move into warmer weather, it’s time to tuck away cold-weather essentials, including winter coats, boots, mittens, and bedding. However, stuffing stinky or stained items away for months is a surefire way to permanently damage them. Dirt, grime, snow, salt, and ice can ruin your winter gear and even attract pests. Here’s why and how to wash six winter essentials before storage."

[...]

It's important to clean off corrosive salt and dirt off of your snowshoes, skis and other winter gear before storing it!

"Winter footwear includes boots of all kinds—galoshes, hiking boots, moccasins, snow shoes, and everything in between. They tend to pick up more than slush and mud. Salt and bacteria can be much worse. "
