    Are there wolves where you live?

    Leantos and the like...

    A primitive but a useful immediate shelter if one has to use one. With a little bit of time and determination (did I say skill) you can make an effective shelter that could protect you from the elements. And then again the modern camper can do something like this... What ever you do...

    Happy camper

    ..."Who's afraid of the Dark?" It's all in the conditioning that starts from a very early age. It is fostered by the fears taught by others and they stay with us - especially when one finds themselves alone. Really...what are you afraid of ---> and why?
