Really quite ingenious! Well done, that man. If I were young enough to be thinking of camping that rough I would definitely be out in the backyard cobbling such a set-up together.

My own RV desires are much more modest. For some reason my wife and I are both enamored with teardrop trailers. This particular model is made within forty minutes of my home (traffic willing, of course) and comes with an amazing variety of options. Again, I have no connection, etc., etc. But...
The Great Wall as we see it today, even the non-touristy part Blackthorn was able to sneak up on, is a later version. The first wasn't even 'a' great wall but a collection of walls put up by various kingdoms to act as both a barrier against the northern horse nomads and each other. They were...
