The Aroostook River
For three months of 2009 I lived in a remote camp with two companions in the northern woods of Maine, USA.
Living conditions were very basic.

“How could you live in such a place?” might be a question that comes to mind.
In reality I was living in a vast, inspiring space called the Northern woods.

If you go to a wilderness area, such as the Northern Woods of Canada (above photo), you'll be guaranteed to bring one thing with you - your own body.
Memorising a set of measurements based on various parts of your body is a very practical and quick way to measure out many bushcraft projects (see example below).
A good example of using the human body to measure up, in this case, a lean-too shelter and long-log fire (Drawing: Sean Fagan).
