When the temperature drops, stay at the site, we feel much colder than the city. Since September, each time when we arrive, we need to light a fire inside the woodstove. I've learned how to maintain a good "hot spot."
We will collect a small bunch of dry leaves or tree branches, make them into a smaller handful brunch and put inside the stove, light up a small fire with a lighter. Keep collecting small dry tree branches and keep adding to until we see the stable flame. Then we usually add a bigger chop wood, about an arm's length and wide. It will keep us warm for at least 2 hours.
Louie told me that's why a man will work hard in the countryside since summer to collect the wood until winter. Otherwise, like himself, he needs to purchase a lot of $500 worth of dry wood, which can only support his living for one winter.
Wow, we need to chop more wood; then, I realized that we only have no more than 15 big wood left in the hunting tab!
