its funny, i always thought that sand people traveled in single file to conceal their numbers, but these two are side by side. perhaps some esoteric mating ritual.
Nice job Nick, next is presuure canner for low acidity foods, we have completed two rasberry, one peach one blueberry and one hot pepper batch as well as 19 quarts of green beans and seven corn, next week is beets. Good Luck
ive got radish relish, bluberry jam, and apple pectin (which went into said jam) and has gone into more since then! This is my first year canning and im never paying for jelly ever again! sorry smuckers you just lost my bizzness
There's nothing like a man canning...it's a beautiful thing. Nice finished looking product there Nick!
Particularly the suspiciously yellowish, unlabeled one. Will that be on the trade blanket?
So, what are they?
This just makes me want Autumn Olive more.
OOoh, you got the snaaazy 125 year commemorative capped jars. Very posh.

- About Me
- "Nick has lived in New England for his entire life. Raised in a small New Hampshire town, with only one blinking traffic light, Nick always had access to the real world, the world outside your living room. When Nick was eighteen months old, he tried to run away and live in the woods, free of rules, parents, and society. Sadly, he could not yet reach the doorknob. Inspired by books such as Hatchet and My Side of the Mountain, for most of his childhood Nick tried to run away to the wild. Though his attempts were never very successful, they planted the seed and when he read The Tracker in high school, he knew what he wanted to do with his life. Nick has trained at Tom Brown’s Tracking and Wilderness Survival School, in both New Jersey and California. He has studied at Rabbitstick in Idaho and Wintercount in Arizona, the biggest primitive gatherings in the country. Nick is continuing his training, so that he can become a better, well rounded instructor."

- Hi Nick, nice to see you. I've added some of the mpss videos to the site. If it's easy for you can you add some of the other videos up. I only got three fire starting videos up. BTW, cute pics. You can add those to the main photos area if you want with a description so the whole world will know what you're up to. ~Candi

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?

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.
