Not only an essential safety item but also critical if you need an emergency cup of coffee 😉

The only consistency with Washington weather is that it’s always changing. I’ve developed a love hate relationship with the rain. 😎

Great information delivered in a fun, clear way... Excellent... It sure is funny when people come by when you're filming.... I had a couple stop and watch for 10 minutes before I even knew they were there, Lol... Great Work Buddy 🙂✌️

Excellent list! I typically carry a sandwich baggy full of lint as my fire starter. I live in NW Oregon and would love to meet up sometime. Have a great day!

I’ve heard of the dryer lint trick but I haven’t tried it yet. I just might have to do a load of laundry and give it a shot. Thanks for the tip neighbor!
