Gert OdendaalGood day to you Richard
What inspired me is the respect I have for the old ways when life was a struggle to survive from day to day ..our forefathers relied on their muzzle loaders to bring the meat home..the idea of everything had to be grown , build, made from their surroundings and they still had to survive nature ...much of the old ways is still relevant today...although we are living in a "user world" use and throw away..nothing is substantial or have quality today... to live along side nature in it`s purest form..that is inspiring...

Gert OdendaalRichard, thank you for the kind words, it really is much appreciated...at my age , live needs to be lived taking every day as it comes and searching for every small opportunity to acquire knowledge to live as if there will not be a tomorrow... I only wished I was this focused twenty years back...
