Let me start with explaining what ramps are. Ramps, Allium tricoccum, also known as wild leek, wild garlic, and ramson (though ramson is actually a European cousin, and probably the source for the name “ramps”). Ramps grow mostly in the mountains of the eastern North America, from South Carolina to Canada.

It’s now too late for some…
..let’s hope others learn from it. Hurricane Sandy, Frakenstorm, or my favorite (coined by the artist of my FloridaHillbilly logo), The SnowBlowicane,
SHTF TV – picking them apart – Revolution
This is a series I’ve wanted to do for a while. Some shows do a fair job at portraying “What might happen if…” type scenarios…some fall very short though. The good news is that the more SHTF TV is shown, the more sheep start to think about the possibility of things going wrong, and hopefully, start them […]

Youth Hunt Update
Do you recall me mentioning the FWC program to get kids trained and allow them to hunt on private lands? Well, I have an update on my young friend and her hunt in DeSoto County. It seems that other than losing
Instant Lacto-Paleo Chocolate Mousse
This one is for my buddy, BlueTang, a skinny diabetic, who has had his share of shit-sandwiches force-fed to him. I hope this offsets some of the taste 🙂 I have been on a salad binge the last couple weeks, particularly enjoying Caesar salad for its anchovies. Gotta LOVE a salty little fish that makes […]
Review: The ULTIMATE Long term storage item – Yoder’s Bacon
My 9 year-old stayed with my mom for the weekend, and was telling her about this wonderful product we stock for emergencies, and my mom was quizzing me about it. I realized I had never written about it here, so I think it’s about time.
Fall Garden Update
I’m going to open with “any improvement is still improvement.” I didn’t get as much done as I wanted 🙁 I spent time in the garden today, it only took three hours of bushwhacking to get to my northernmost bed. I seriously need to do something about all the wireweed growing out there. Maybe 1-800-Rent-a-Goat? […]
A Round Tuit
We all make plans of some sort. Some of us are better at the follow-through than others, and some of us, well, we just suck as it. “Procrastination” is our lifeblood. We’ll get started on that project as soon as we get a little more money…when we feel a little better…after the weather cools down….when […]
You Can Lead a Horse to Water, But You Can’t Make Them THINK
…or maybe I should say “mule”. Try all you will to change someone’s thoughts or beliefs, and you fail almost every time. Why is that? Maybe some folks just don’t get it…. …or do they? Human nature is predictable about 99% of the time in regards to
