fireman 10,774 Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Just now, king said: ive never heard of doing that with worms before it sounded a bit mad.bet it was cold in the winter was it. Had a good wood burner that kept in over night so just as warm as any home really and stoke the fire up and i could have the tarp pulled back and have a open end/lot out into the world and be cosy warm inside..The worse weather is constant rain as it puts the outside fire out and just makes everything hard work,the cold is easy,put on a coat or put a log on the fire..
