I was doing a job for a friend of the family, and found they were also Paleo eaters. The wife mentioned Lärabars, and I was unfamiliar with them, but inquired about where I could get some to try. Trying one, I was like a kid in a candy store. Just sweet enough to take the dull […]

High Tech Maps
When I was about 14 years old, I was hunting on our 93-acre farm by myself. My father had told me that in orrder to best hunt a particular hill, I should follow the ridge line up, then when I got to the top, veer off to the right, and I would end up behind […]
Some days it’s “Fishing, some days it’s “Catching”
They call it “fishing” , and not “catching” for a reason….probably to do with my meager skill set, something I’m sure I share with the majority of folks that go fishing. Tides, sun, moon, stars, solunar tables, proper color, match the hatch, proper presentation, water temperature, the list goes on and on for the things that affect if […]
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
Revisiting an Old Friend – Home built Wooden Pirogue (Cheap Canoe)
I was stumbling around Green Deane’s forum, and ran across a post regarding pirogues, or flat bottom canoes made famous in Cajun country. It brought back memories of one I built during some down time right after a hurricane hit us, and we were sitting around waiting for civilization to get started back up.
A Kayak Trip to Boy Scout Island
Well, I think it’s Boy Scout Island…seems there is some confusion as to what spoil island is actually Boy Scout. I thought I would go with that title instead of “A Kayak Trip to the northernmost island south of the Stuart causeway”. It just doesn’t flow well….
Paleo Mole Crab Poppers or “With Baited Breath”
I love to fish, it’s a serious distraction to me. And while I try to learn as much as possible, I’ve grown to understand that they call it “fishing” rather than “catching” for a reason. I was fishing late one evening about 18 years ago with my oldest daughter, catching small
Guest Post: Mango BBQ Sauce (by BlueTang)
I got a chance to taste this today…I was floored…BT is trying out the Paleo lifestyle also, so anything he makes is going to be a good bet to be safe for the other cavemen, like me. Look at the very bottom for my pics.
Creepy Crawlies or “Cheryl’s Nightmare”
This week, we had a couple visitors worth mentioning, proof that even when you live in town, the wilderness can still be right at your doorstep. I’ve mentioned Zach several times, as he is a kindred spirit, and he thinks some of the oddball things I do are interesting. Everyone has a fan or two 🙂 However, […]
Revisiting Green Deane
Just got another newsletter from Green Deane, a favorite source of information of mine. He really knows his stuff…and better still will tell you when he doesn’t – THAT is the sign of a true professional…and how many professional foragers do you know? Here is a link to his latest newsletter. In it you’ll find […]
