    Lots of great info, the fire in a hole on we learned but it would not work all the time here, our ground gets too wet. We were taught that one as a camping thing on how to cook something effectively, and using the least amount of firewood, and it does work great for that, you can contain the heat and it is focused directly on the food you are cooking, no loss to the open air. My favorite outdoor skill was taught to me by one of my older brothers, and the purpose was actually making forts. Lean-to's....He taught my friend and I how to make them, and some we would get them to be four sided, with a small opening in the center, sided with layers of sticks, fir branches, ferns and cedar boughs all around, then a small opening left to crawl into, the opening in the center, with a pit dug directly under it for a fire (rocks built up for safety in a ring around it too), two pre-teen girls, and we could make a lean-to that was so cammo, it was hard to see and was actually pretty rain and cold air resistant, of course this involved "camping out" in it too, until we heard something, or someone walking around us in the dark and we took off up the hill towards our safe yards......

    EASTCOAST PREPPER GARAGE SALE TREASURES!

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_AVeP...eature=related



    Mar 1, 2011
    I watched a video last week by Eastcoastprepper and he said to check out garage sells for good deals. Well I took his advice and I was shocked. I purchased a lot more items that I may post in a second video.

    clamps -$6.00
    knives-$3.00
    sander/buffer combo-$40.00
    miter chop saw-$40.00
    grade 8 bolts-$20.00
    router table-$5.00
    Total=$114.00
    I could have bought a small box of grade 8 bolts for that same price.
    They run about 1 dollar a piece.

    Basic Fermentation: Sauerkraut

    By Nick-LaDieu | August 23, 2011 | Food, Food Preservation | 7 Comments



    Sauerkraut is really easy to make and very healthy for your gut. Darcy over at Stumbling Homestead blog posted this article, “Easy Sauerkraut, last year and I planted cabbage this year especially to try it. I setup my first batch last night and it came together really fast. I’ll be excited to see the results.
    • First I sterilized some quart mason jars
    • Next I shredded some cabbage with a mandolin slicer and the dicing insert. A plain old knife would work fine too, just take a bit longer
    • Stuff the cabbage into the jars and pack it down hard. Fill it up to just below the threads
    • Add a tablespoon to 1.5 tablespoons of salt. Make sure to use pickling salt or natural, unmodified, sea salt. In short, you do not want iodized salt.
    • Heat up some water to not quite boiling (Darcy suggests using filtered water, however I decided to use heated water as a friend suggested to me)
    • Ladle the water until it covers the cabbage
    • Put the lid on VERY loose so that air can vent
    • Now is where it gets interesting… my friend claims 6 weeks of fermentation for good Sauerkraut, however Darcy claims it is ready within a few weeks. The bottom line is you should go down and sample some from time to time and get a feel for what you think will taste best.
    • Ok, so it is the way you like it… great! At this point you can tighten the lids down and now you can choose one of two options to preserver it and stop the fermentation:
      1. Process the jars in a hot water bath (boiling water) for 30 minutes. It should keep for 9 months or more.
      2. Place in refridgerator and consume it as with any other pershiable.
    Personally I will be canning some and eating some. It would be interesting to learn if the canning process negativately impacts the beneficial bacteria within the Sauerkraut.
    Also Darcy points out in his article that he didn’t even like Kraut and is now addicted, so even if you don’t like store bought you might just want to give this cheap and easy method a try.
    A mandolin makes quick work of cabbage

    Make sure to use salt with no iodine

    Ready for fermentation

    Episode 30: Hunting deer from the view point of an absolute beginner

    Audio: http://www.saveourskills.com/podpres...experience.mp3

    This episode is all about my experience hunting deer. It is the viewpoint of an absolute beginner and it is just my experience and is very personal to me. You may experience better, different, or worse results.

    One thing I forgot to mention: I got to see this tool used: Butt Out and all I can say is it is going into my kit. Wow that thing just took the intestine out with such ease I could not believe what I was seeing. Worth every penny of the about $10 you will spend on it.
