  • That’s worse than my story, sorry they had to go through that.

    I married my wife while I was living in her country, Georgia. Then I came back to the U.S. and started the process for her to come. It took 17 months. I didn’t need a lawyer for it. We did later try to get a visitor visa for my mother-in-law and it got denied. I always say that if I had it to do over again, it would have probably been cheaper and quicker to fly them both to Mexico and then cross the border.




  • I have a few ratchet straps I’ve never used for anything. Same with some rope I bought, but we’ve only been able to camp a few nights in the past month. I’m hoping to a lot more in the next year. I just bought a cheap folding saw and an axe. I want to buy good quality equipment, so I’ve been watching video reviews,etc looking for good options for axes. I’ve found that brands like Fiskars, Estwing, Gransfors are good choices, to name a few. I’d like to have a longer,heavier maul for splitting and then a smaller one for kindling.

    I have a long list of things I want/need. Right now, near the top of my list after axes are: more tarps, better lantern(s), percolator coffee pot(currently using a kettle + french press), a coleman stove perhaps, and a bigger tent and a bigger tarp that I can tie to some trees and put my tent and chairs under if needed. And new boots!

    edit: should add also my iron skillet! I love it a lot more when camping than using at home.
