We were out of propane and low on food the other day (no luck fishing), so Phill digs out this scary torch* and I dig out the freeze-dried backup-to-the-backup food.

The scary torch has also heated the water for coffee the last three mornings (hats off to Phill who managed to boil the water and not burn himself with that thing, (all three times, before ingesting any caffeine)….nothin’s easy.

* Phill tells me the scary torch is fueled by “map gas”
