Great guyline idea
Earlier this year someone showed me a great way of pegging guylines. It's so simple that it can be done with one hand even with gloves (with some practice) and it has the added benefit of clea...

Re: Sounds you've never heard before
My vote is for a fox or maybe a pair of them. Second guess would be an owl of some kind--they can get really rowdy, especially during full moons and in mating season. Bobcat maybe--I'm not su...

Re: Re: Pole for a pyramid shelter

Re: Re: it doesn't exist, but you should invent it
