Nice dave! Looks like my first batch and mine came out great.
The vinegar thing may be prevented by down sizing the bottle as you drink so there is less air. or getting a good decanter(if thats how I spell it). Had some trouble with the first batch of wine made a few years ago.
Do you use a commercial dehydra…
Arthur that sounds great!! I have a large bag of onions waiting to be used. Do you have a basic recipe??

Great to hear from you. I think it would be fairly presumptuous of me to assume any kind of permission-granting-authority over someone else's poem, but since you so kindly asked, why, yes! I'd love to have you share the poem (and my oh-so-elevated thoughts on it, if you want) with your kids. Do you have any suggestions of games to play with a large group of suburban 3 year olds in a distinctly un-wild setting in order to get them jazzed up about being outdoors/nature/etc?
Until soon!

I'm at Johnny's seeds for a while. Heirloom tomatoes are big. I can get seeds for older packets of seeds with less then the high germination rate that is the standard, and plan on starting an heirloom tomato garden. Anyone else interested?
I think Mark sounds a little like Tom Brown as he teaches throwing the Viking Battle Ax.

Casual get-together to tan deer hides on Eastern Long Island. Bring your hide and some brains, and we'll help, and discuss braintanning. Potluck meal(s) and camping possible. Dates to be determined: last week in Dec -first week in January. Intereste…
A lot of hard core no necked nugs gave Dakota grief for this one because it wasn't "survival", but it is a great way to share skills. Dakota has a sever form of dyslexia, he can't read, coupled with tourrette's syndrom. We have had to find creative…
It does. Remember that the tannic acid actually curdles the protiens i the skin, including internally. This creates the astringency, and also produces a biological "band aid" of a layer of your own tanned hide. I used tannic acid wash from Oak galls…
Wet wood ash, used as a paste and rinsed qickly to avoid chemical burns (prolonged direct contact over a minute) is a great way to remove pitch and other hard to get off yer skin adherents.
