    The engineering of Roman aqueducts says much about the importance of water. After much struggling and learning, if I had to do it over again, the water supply to my camp would have been my number-one priority, just behind basic shelter. Having clean, flowing water was a game changer. (It’s not drinkable, creek water pumped to a barrel and treated with chlorine tabs, but still, nothing made such an impact in my quality of life out there. Not even the tent.)

        Naw, it’s just my forever hobby. Got 2.5 acres of mostly swamp with my inheritance. Pretty neat what I’ve carved out in 4-years!
