Holi-Swaps ID1007 - This is mainly for campers or back packers, but it's a good homemade fire starter. You will need some newspaper, string, a candle, and a 35 mm film container. First, cut the newspaper into strips about 1 inch wide and as long as you want. Then roll the strips into a bundle and tie it with the string. Now you have a roll. Melt wax over the paper (be careful). After the wax has hardened, place it in the film canister. This is a great way to store it. Now when you want to use it, just take the waxed paper out of the film can and tear it slightly on one end and light the torn part. It will burn really well and get a decent fire started. The wax will act as a fuel and burn for a while. Just don't light it while it's in the plastic film can - the fumes can be dangerous. Use common sense and it will work great. It is great for someone who wants to save money and space. Richard Doyle ID252 - When you go ballooning, wear sturdy shoes (water resistant hiking boots or tennies), long pants, and layered clothing. It is no colder in the balloon than on the ground, so a light jacket is usually enough. Some people wear a hat for the radiant heat and foam ear plugs to reduce the burner noise. Hot air balloons are unique from all other forms of flight because there is no physical sensation of movement or perception of wind. You are traveling with the gentle air currents that layer the sky. In contrast to standing on a building or structure, there is no fear of height, because your eyes have no linear perspective to judge distance from the ground. Balloons usually travel at heights of 500 to 1500 feet, similar to the surrounding hill tops. You are often welcome to participate 'hands on' with the set-up, inflation, and deflation of your hot air balloon, so it's a good idea to bring a set of gloves. Visit Wine Country Balloons for more information. Scott van der Horst ID2088 - You don't need to tow a caravan, or even own one, to enjoy a caravan holiday. Many places have selections of static or pre-placed caravans that you can rent for your holiday. Visit sites like Brixham Holiday Park for more information. Alex ID2171 - As a way of saving money on this year's holiday, consider a 'home swap'. With home swapping, you swap homes with someone else for an agreed period of time, and spend a holiday in their home while they holiday in yours. No money changes hands, and home swaps can be in the same country or anywhere in the world. Get more vacation tips and information about holidays in Britain at British-Holiday.info.
