Remembering the old camp that we hunted from for forty-some years, the new camp is like the Taj Mahal... and it does look a lot nicer too.

The Vermont Castings stoves are the prettiest ever built. Back in the day I used to visit the original factory in Randolph, Vermont. I became friendly with Duncan Symm who designed all the stoves, of which the Resolute was one. It was the smallest in the line. He showed me the mahogany templates he carved to make the original molds. They were beautiful. He designed the stoves using early American furniture as a guide. All the stoves were named after trans Atlantic sailing ships.
