I'll give it more time. I usually bottle it after 7 or 8 days and it is perfect but not this time. Thanks for the offer Dawn, I may PM you in a few days.

I stopped making Kombucha about 6 months ago and put my big fat SCOBY and one cup of Kombucha in a Tupperware bowl in the 'frig. Last week I decided to make another batch and I did it exactly like I had always done it before. Here it is 9 days later and all I have is very sweet tea in my bowl...

We've never had a foodsaver and I have always wondered how you keep the liquid or wet food from being sucked into the vacuum pump?

Hmmm that's kind of interesting because a few weeks ago I received an email from someone that contained a cut-n-paste from an article that discussed the possibility of this election being the last in the USA. It said that if Obama is reelected the govt. may do away with elections and only have...

Here is an article from a military news publication. I received it from a relative this morning. I know it's a long read so I have highlighted several key points. Enjoy. What does it take to get your name on the no-fly list in America? Apparently you only need to be classified as a prepper...

Oh yeah! I completely forgot about meat tenderizer. When I was young that was the answer to stings in my family.

Oh man! You're gonna fall in love. The NAA is a wonderful workhorse. I'm happy for you. yesterdaystractors.com is a great site with lots of information.

I had often heard that honey bee stings would effect you less and less as you got stung more and more. I was very skeptical about that until I became a beekeeper years ago. During my first year stings would be painful red lumps and would sting for a long time. The next day the area around...

YaaaHooo! I'm happy for you. You're gonna love it. 4.75 acres is plenty of land if you plan ahead. Where is the place? Pictures, pictures, pictures - we need pictures!

I used to have a 150 acre farm in south central Ohio not far from the Ohio River and the folks who bought it built a very nice little house on legs in an remote area where I would have never thought of building. They used lumber from the woods around them and the finished home is beautiful...

That's an interesting concept. I've never heard of Shelf Reliance but they seem to be pretty good at what they do. The Later Day Saints are very (probably the best) at prepping. We do all of our own food preservation but for folks who cant or don't, it may be a good alternative.

We usually do not do anything special for the young chicks in our flock. We never separate them from the others from birth to adult. Momma usually takes pretty good care of the little ones and she'll take them out to free range when they are very small. But we hatch our own chicks and don't...

Bummer! I can't get TheBlaze due to my internet connection. Too slow. I like those kinds of self-sufficient shows and Glen Beck is one of my favorites. I haven't seen Glen since he left Fox.

Fishing is one of my favorite pastimes but I don't get to do it often. That's a nice fish! Can I go with you next time?

Each state in the United States has it's own rules and laws for many things like this. But I do think most states have a return-for-refund system for most containers.

About 10 years ago I had boarders for my 12 stalls. I showed them where their stall was, where the water was, and where the pasture was. Then I told 'em the rules and the cost and that they were on their own from there. It worked out very well that way - good steady cash flow and I made some...

rhoda_bruce - I tried that for several years out at the hunting shack. In my opinion it works but the implements are typically light duty and some do not do a very good job. Especially a plough or cultivator. Also my ATV was an automatic (like most) and it would not go slow enough enough for...

$4500 is going to be very limiting for a multi-purpose tractor. These things are so darned expensive it's crazy. In my opinion, for 5 acres you would want a 20 to 25 HP with a 54" to 60" mid-mount mower and a front end loader. I'm a firm believer in "buy American" but, dog-gone-it, the...

Theo - we found the same problem last year with our new (at that time) electric glass-top stove. We hate the thing. Very uneven heating and on-n-off heating elements. I have been pricing new gas cook-tops but they are outa-sight expensive. Time to start saving my nickels and dimes for a gas...

I have a few orphans that this broody hen sat on for 21 days. Now she's the proud mother of 4. She allows me to pick up the babies but she sure doesn't like it. Whenever we have a clutch of chicks they (and momma) are pretty much on their own. The chicks never get any type of special food...
