Depending on how I was traveling,(Truck camping, canoe camping, and back packing have vastly different parameters.) the menu would change. In truck camping, anything in the grocery store was useable. Canoe camping was not a whole lot different than truck camping, in that I almost always went...

Mick, I love lamb, as well. But at least in the SW US.,I can't love it too much! Even at Wally World lamb chops cost more than prime rib. I have a half leg of lamb in the greezer that I paid 14$ for, and felt like a shop lifter carrying it out of the store. Before we were invaded by...

The PROPER way to make cornbread, is that the liquid(other than egg) is to be 1/4 evaporated milk, and 3/4 Pace medium picante.(and a few jalapenos) Do NOT throw in a scotch bonnet, just because it's handy, and sounds good. It will cause tears, colorful language, and marital stress. Don't ask...

Jack, If you glass and epoxy the bread bowls, inside and out, they are dishwasher safe. If you are going to use them outdoors, you might want to slap on a little Z-spar, to protect the epoxy from the sun.

Just curiuos. Over the past fifty years or so, I have carried dozens of pocket knives, worn out a bunch, broke a couple, lost more. I usually carry either two or three pocket knives: A main blade, a small stockman of some sort, and a cheapo "Do everything" tool type knife. My current favorite...

The best jerky, other than homemade, that I have found, has been "Robertson's" out of Marietta Oklahoma. I don't know how far out they distribute, but if you find a "Love's" store, they usually usually have it. (Labeled as Love's brand.) A tad pricey, kind of like my homemade. My needs are...

Well, Back to the original plan of puncheon benchs, and cord wood.

Jack, I'm shocked! I thought you were the "live large" sort on a guy. A guy that would enjoy pig ears and tails, blood sausage, slim jims, grits and nouc mam. With a side of rice bugs and okra. Guess I was wrong. Jim

Well, Bob, I'll not continue with the tasty pig parts that were going to end with the roast pig tail, early in the boucherie. Just at day break.(The secret there is lots of salt) Jim

Bearridge, The ORIGINAL absorbine is also good stuff! Get it at the feed store. Absorbine Jr. is okay, but the original is better. It's meant for horses, so it is just right for studs like those who hang around this dive. Jim

Wannabe, The secret of eating pig ears, is to develope a taste for back fungus. It crunches just like pig ears. So whenever you are crunching on pig ears, you can imagine you are eating black fungus. Yummy! Beer helps as well. Jim

Piper, You are absolutely right about cleaning up before applying DMSO! Twenty years or so ago, I got home from a gig about three AM, and just collapsed in a recliner and passed out. My two youngest sons got up about seven, and applied fake tattoos on my hands, while I slept. Shortly...

And I forgot, avoid pork in all forms. There is a plethora of informational studies that indicate pork is detrimental to one's well being. Apparently the Jews, Seventh Day adventists, and the Musims are right. Once again, even knowing what I know, I ignore this proposition. Can there be life...

To those with "arthwrongus" , I have information. 1. Avoid all members of the Nightshade family in your diet. This is a lot easier said than done! For me particularly! That means no potatoes, tomatos, tomatillas, peppers, (that includes bells, jalapenos, habaneros, and chile of any sort.), and...

Bearridge, Carlos Hathcock- I had a friend, an Army sniper, that competed in the military 1000 yard meets. He was in the reserves, so he periodically took off for training and the contests. After once such absence, he came back so elated, we had to follow him around with a mop! He had met...

Yes, the .30.30 is kind of a wimpy round outside fifty yards or so. But I have a Wnchester lever action .30.30, that for me personally, is the hardest kicking piece of ordenance I have ever put to my shoulder. But it's only me. My brother, my sons, a couple of friends have fired it, and claim...

I have an off the wall question. Has anyone had any experience with building boats out of elm? I know it's tougher than the hinges on the gates of hell! It used to be the preferred wood for saddle trees and the hubs of the big wooden wagon wheels. (The saddle trees are made of plastic nowadays...

As almost everyone has said, there is not a whole lot that you "need" in wood work, it's just what you want. The sander is absolutely needed, it's effeciant and time saving. I must confess, I don't know what a DA sander is. I am a proponent of the random orbit sander. It removes a lot of...
