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.

Another Coconut Obsession
I’ve always kicked around the idea of marketing dehydrated water….I’m guessing I’d make a killing for the ultralight hiking crowd….I just never took the initiative to get the product line started…..then researching, I found someone had beat me to it š Along those same lines, I was thinking about
The Mullet Run
Love `em or hate `em, mullet are a vital part of the local saltwater ecosystem. This is the time of year that the water temps start to drop and the mullet start to head to warmer southern waters for the winter, in order to spawn.
The Vinegar Experiment
I had a batch of wine that the wife just didn’t like. She’ll pull punches on me and go ahead and drink some of what I make, even though its not a big hit with her, either out of kindness or pity, I’m still not sure. But this batch was just plain old BAD. If […]

I’m feeling much better today, able to move around with a lot less pain. Now to get back into a more “regular” sleep pattern.

Vacuum sealing shortcut
In one of the forums at TheSurvivalPodcast.com, I saw an entry stating you can use FoodSaver’s FreshSaver pump on a FoodSaver wide mouth or regular mouth jar sealer, with no need for the hose, and more importantly for me, no need to dig out our full-sized FoodSaver vacuum sealer. “So what”, you say?

Tomato Juice from Long Term Preps, or “How to Make a Bloody Pirate after a Hurricane”
