Pretty soon you are going to run out of tree in your attempt to retreat & thus escape your red squirrel invasion. I'm on pins & needles with anticipation re: how you shall manage this. Jimbo While PK doesn't pack a sail for canoe travel, I think I spotted the makings of a hot air balloon when he was pulling one of his tarps out of a bag. I didn't know you could power one of those with a red pine fire!! dd

	Still don't comprehend this red pine for firewood obsession. I think it is one of the worst forms of wood- right up there with birch as an ineffective form of fuel (at least birch when split and dried for a year offers a level of BTU's worth the labor for wood stove fuel). Red pine rots on the tree. Rots as soon as it hits the ground turning to punk. Jack pine and white pine are far superior for combustion and ease of gathering. When dead they dry to bone on the limb, shedding bark and concentrating resin. Cedar (via driftwood) for beauty and snap and fire fragrance. Jackpine smoke is the scent most evocative of camping in canoe country

	Ah, PK, I'm just curious, but is today's POD what you were humming or singing about almost everyday in our camps a year or so ago? It was a familiar tune with odd words that I never really understood... until today. I believe you called it: "Like a Bridge over Squirrely Waters." Hey, nice bridge! Well worth your making a song about it, albeit a somewhat strange one. Jimbo

To be able to identify the type of tree from sniffing the smoke. That's impressive, or just too much time in the woods!
