I’ve covered opening green coconuts, and briefly touched on opening browns ones in the comments on the same post, but recently my friend James over at Survival Punk made coconut bars and had an adventure getting the coconut open and the meat out. Apparently, this + this = the need for this. 🙂 Doing what I can […]

My take on “Rabbit starvation”
Stumbling around, I came across a very nice website called The Wannabe Homesteader, and found some great info about starting tomatoes. The next day’s post was about rabbits, specifically, Why Rabbit Meat is Not The Best Survival Food. The author raised the question, “..should a person include rabbit meat as a back-up plan for survival situations? […]
Up next: Stingray for Dinner!
In regards to my failed attempt at flounder gigging, and a reference to my canned mullet, I recieved this on my FloridaHillbilly Facebook page today: SB-“If all else fails, maybe you could try canning stingray.” And I got to thinking….why not? Well, maybe not canning it, but stingray as a dish? Most people consider it […]
Thrifty Food Buys for 9 August 2012
This is my only “regular” weekly post, and it revolves around stores in my area, and food that we eat. We practice “Eat what you store, store what you eat”. Since I try to eat “Paleo”, this means very little food that includes any grains, legumes, or refined sugars. I will have a few of […]
Pork Fat Rules! or “How to Render Your Own Lard”
Paleo gold! Well..how about ivory? Whatever, its TASTY stuff that I’ve been trying to get my hands on for a while. Yes, I know you can buy it at any grocery store around here. But did you know every can I’ve looked at in every store in three counties all contain “BHA and BHT” ? […]

Quick Dehydrator Biltong
Biltong is a cousin of jerky, but incorporates vinegar into the process, and omits nitrates and nitrites, common preservatives found in jerky, at least today’s version. Another difference is that biltong is typically not smoked, something I thought I would miss. I don’t, though I would like to try a bit of smoked biltong eventually. […]
Crock pot pulled pork and Paleo Tortillas
I LOVE barbecue pork – ribs, pulled, sliced, it really doesn’t matter. But being the only REAL meat eater in the house, I’ve long since given up on spending time with a smoker or charcoal grill. I get my fixed whenever I can, wherever I am able to, and not as frequently as I’d like. […]

This weekly post will revolve around stores in my area, and food that we eat. Saving money by buying in bulk is no good if you are storing food you will never eat. “Eat what you store, store what you eat” will be my guidelines. To me, this means very little food that includes any […]
New Weekly Feature, Thrifty Food Buys for 18 July 2012
(yeah, the name sucks, got a better one, send me an email) I just realized I had yet another Wednesday night conflict – my next post, or go through the flyers posted tonight to see what I’ll be trying to stockpile for a rainy day. Then it hit me, why not
