I won't mention that the sand for the mirrors I had to carry by the handful (I couldn't afford a bucket) all the way back from Egypt by foot had to be melted and fused over a fire that I had to make from twigs from 300 miles away coz everything around the swamp is wet. Then I had to search for the phosphorous and process it just to make a match to light the fire . . . in 120mph winds while it was snowing!
