When I booked a 2 month stay at a remote mountain hideaway, it seemed love the perfect escape from reality. Things have never seemed the same after COVID, as well as I felt that getting back to nature would help recharge my batteries, so to speak. The cottage was small, however nice, with running water, plumbing, as well as electricity. There was no wireless or cell service, however that was part of the allure… How could it be an escape from reality if I had my iPhone beeping all the time? Then the ice storm hit, which knocked out the power as well as the heating, as well as this fun little getaway got pretty dangerous. Thankfully there was a fireplace in the cottage, so despite never having chopped wood before, I had no choice. The fireplace had been the only heat source this cottage had for decades, so I knew it must be genuinely effective. I am a current boy, genuinely dependent on technology, so I had to face the tunes as well as become more primal if I wanted to use the fireplace. Even without the central furnace or a space heater, I had the means to keep myself sizzling as well as safe. I chopped wood for an hour, as well as then realized that the fireplace would require a lot more wood. I never knew how abruptly logs would burn in such a big fireplace. My mountaintop retreat did not go the way I had planned at all, however somehow it was just what I needed, but chopping wood as well as tending the fireplace made me feel love a real man.
