But what if he needs to blend in when the next deer hops into the truck?

While I of course didn't purposefully intend to offend anybody, nor would I ever actually employ nor condone actually doing so, I do apologize for being a bit crude in my attempt at levity.

fair weather chicken - Watched it, at your recommendation. I enjoyed it a lot and agree with your assessment. It definitely left me with more of a determined resolve rather than inducing a sense of dread. Thanks! rhoda_bruce - I also watched this after your recommendation. Overall, I really...

Best answer yet. :bow

Wow! The proof is self-evident! As for the grinding, his method was primitive. He fold-up some heavy canvas and pretty much make a taco and take a sledge hammer to it. To save some wear on his canvas he'd slip old streetsigns and other sheet metal scraps. He'd then shift out the powder. In a...

I grew up in Grants, NM, formerly The Carrot Capitol of the US (now it's The Uranium Capitol... *shudder*). The 'secret' was our mostly sandy and volcanic natural soil mixed with a heavy compost (appr. 1/3 semi-acidic sand mixed with 2/3 compost and cattle manure blend). A hippie friend of mine...

As a little side note, I couldn't help but share the safety page of Estwing's site: http://www.estwing.com/safety_alerts.php I have a poor hammer that meets every one of their 'throw-away' marks that I use all the time! It's the one hammer not in my truck or handtool bag. it's the 'floater...

Planting about 3 or 4 maples is right at the top of the list when I eventually buy some land. Good luck Sunny. :)

I love documentary film. Especially on topics such as survival, earth stewardship, climate change, etc. My all-time favorite is Dick Proenneke's Alone in The Wilderness. That man was UH-MAZE-ING! This short film was the catalyst that set me on the road I now endeavor to walk. Other favorites...

Some of my fondest memories of my dad come from times I would go out with him cutting wood. As he would cut it, I'd load the section into the truck, delighting in the sap-sticky hands and the smell of fresh cut pinon, oak and spruce. Then once we had what he thought was enough, we'd get busy...

Thanks for the helpful info sunsaver! I definitely appreciate your insight. As far as the heater goes, it would just be for brief usage periods, enough to take off the morning chill as the coffee brews until I can get a nice wood stove. I might run it off a small generator though and use the...
