Learn how to create a ventilated shelter for impromptu summer camping the same way our ancestors did — by watching YouTube.
Remember the days of mentorship and family? When we learned important life lessons the good ol’ fashioned way?

If techy lean-to talk sounds like a good coffee break conversation, here’s a new icebreaker for you.
