I guess you live in a big city so visiting rural areas on holyday makes sense. We can ride to areas like that from home so tend to take some trips to bigger citys sometimes. Off to Copenhagen in two days, just a short trip. I am making cowers for the B`s to make them look more sivilized than they do in "Dimpa" bags.

Visiting small villages as a tourist can be nice for sure, but living in small places can sometimes be a challenge

Sounds like a challenge! More than once have I asked myself WHY did I choose the lighter sleepingbag ?? The tric is not to be alone in the sleepingbag. Nex time try to hunt down a hairy Scotchman with a woolen kilt to keep you warm . I remember experementing with a fire innside our Tipi tent. Think it was in a grill or something. Both the dog and my son escaped under the tent into fresh air and I was stubborn and stayed in the tent trying to make it work..


Tell me about it next time you go there, I`ll make you some proper woolen socks to keep your feet warm- but I only knit in the winter so early warning is recomended!
