And the second one, quite simply, is to find the most affordable gear. I don’t think this one needs much of an explanation.
Sometimes it can be difficult finding a product that fulfills both of the above requirements, so today we’re going to talk about one of them. An ..read more

In 1607,the first settlers of Jamestown Virginia were beset by a series of problems that left them isolated and without food for months.

Conditions were so brutal that they lost about 440 people by spring, of a party that totaled only 500.
