...it does me? Maybe I'm having flashbacks to Arnold's Terminator, but this makes me extremely uncomfortable. It's not yet practical since it needs to be refueled after a day, but I can envision a time where it may be powered by solar power and recharge as it goes. Not something I want to see...

I've seen the soap and stuff they sell to mask your human odor sold in the stores. But the stuff doesn't seem to work or maybe I'm particularly smelly. What do you use to mask your scent as much as possible?

I went to see a dude a long while ago, who had fashioned his own water wheel and was using it to power his house at night. He had fixed it so he could turn it on and off if he wished but he didn't make enough power sometimes to use it. He had it fixed so he could divert the small stream if it...

My dad used to talk about how to predict the coming winter's weather with a cut persimmon seed. They are hard to cut and you have to be careful not to cut your hand when you cut them in half. If you see a spoon, you will have a lot of heavy, wet snows that winter and will be shoveling a lot. If...

I was wandering about in YouTube land today and lookee what I found. It's called Cooking With Power Tools. Have a look see for yourself: Cooking with Power Tools: Cordless Drill applications - YouTube Now that makes cooking look a lot better for me.

We have been gathering what vegetables we can from our disappointing garden and have been putting up what we can. However, the gnats are driving us crazy! I know that some of the veggies we have found have already started to go bad (we had some blossom end rot) and gnats love that stuff, but...

I was sitting on my couch the other day watching junk on TV and I happened to look outside the back window. There walked a young buck about 25 foot from my window. I didn't get to count points because he was travelling quick, but I was so shocked, I couldn't have gotten a shot of even if it were...

I live in Kentucky and am very used to having to pay premium prices and sign a log to get plain Sudafed for my allergy issues when I go camping or hiking. However, I just watched someone who was here to camp nearby, go postal on one of the local pharmacy techs because she asked her to sign and...

I saw this tip the other day and thought that it was strange. The tip was to use an antiperspirant on the places where your shoe may rub and it would keep a blister from forming. I didn't see any rational but I thought the tip was interesting. What say you?

We went to our annual family reunion today and I won the door prize!! It's just a small Better Homes And Garden's Fire Pit, but it'll do for my small back yard. I was thrilled. I rarely win anything but I was very lucky today!

Has anyone ever caught a Long Nosed Gar? I've seen them, but I have yet to catch one. They are in our local lake but they aren't caught very often. They look viscious but I don't know what they would be like to catch. Just asking for some advice because I'm going to try going for one next time I...

Some guy near us waited for his neighbor lady to let her dog out to pee and shot the dog six times in front of the lady. This was a house pet and he accused it of killing a bunch of his chickens. With as many fox and coyotes as we have around us, unless he saw the dog in the act, he's got a lot...

I was cruising around the web searching for camping things and articles and I found this: Police-Camper-Dies-After-Rock-Falls-On-Him This poor kid was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. It's tragic and no one could have predicted it. I would probably have thought of sleeping in the...

I only grow a small amount of things and usually do pretty well. However, I just harvested my garlic and my onions and they were as small as when I planted them!! I do NOT look forward to food prices this winter because every harvest is going to be very limited this year so watch out for prices...

When the family and I are going on a camping trip, we usually bring along a lot of things to do such as cards, horseshoes, bean bag golf, and so on. But the one thing I ALWAYS make sure I bring is a couple of small paperbacks. I love to read and have always carried along books to wherever I go...

I was thinking of the general state of things in the world the other day, and I was thinking of the inability of a majority of our young people to survive outside of the "civilized" world. I have tried to teach our grandchildren again and again, the art of survival outside of town and outside of...

Looks like my kinda place. I have been camping and hiking for many years but I'm still just a casual hiker. Looks like there are a lot of others who enjoy the outdoors as do I. Glad to meet you all and I look forward to meeting you.
