I love the new off-grid blog! Sounds quite painful, the shaving thing, but I can understand not wanting spiders and other insects living in it. Good thinking about filling your head with as much information as you can about local plant and animal species, since you'll probably find yourself in a challenging situation where you'll need to know immediately whether something is a safe or a hazard, i.e. is this safe to eat or should I be running like hell? Everything you learn now will be worth 10 times the effort when you're out there - that should be a motivating thought. Hey Hugh! I love the new off-grid blog!
