Ecozoom for your BOL

Updated: March 2013 I have several camping style stoves in my home. I love the classic kerosine burning Coleman that is at least 30 years old that I found via www.freecycle.org. It is perfect for those family camping trips, and brings back pleasant memories of bygone years. When I go on my walkabouts I tend to bring along a little butane powered stove to boil water with, those Mountain House meals work great with those mountaineering type cook stoves.

Japan 2011

Why the silence?

I've intentionally been silent up to now on a lot of matters, mostly on the issues of Japan's disaster. The main reason for this is because I'm tired of knee jerk reaction to current issues. Remember the tortoise and the hare? It is far better for you to prepare on a daily basis, step by step, towards a more self-reliance lifestyle, a more off-grid experience then to run out to the store and buy iodine pills right now.

Horse Meat Primer

I hate the idea of eating horse meat, I admit to the emotionalism behind the idea of killing and eating such a noble animal. However...

Recently someone pointed out to the staff over at Backwoods Home Magazine (www.backwoodshome.com) that there was an old article on the site about eating horse meat, which resulted in a bit of a fuss. For the record, I am glad the magazine kept the article available, free speech and all that. To be honest, if SHTF there would be one thing that would give me pause about eating horse meat if there was a risk of starvation, and that reason is because I do get vaccine shots from time to time, and so do the horses themselves.

Water Filters

I was just over at James Rawles site checking out his list of fiction when I noticed an advertisement from Ready Made Resources about a water filter. First let me say that Ready Made has a good rep, and second this is the water filter I have been looking for. 0.015 microns!

Just thought I'd pass this on.

How to sharpen a knife

I just finished reading a post on Wolf Tracks by Shy Wolf, in which he goes into great detail on how to sharpen a knife. The reason he did this post was in reply to a post on M.D. Creekmoore's survival site.

I really like not only the post, but the fact that Shy went out of his way to point out that idea behind the post came from a question on Creekmore's site, so in hopes of starting a trend among prepper bloggers, besides the fact that I am packing like a crazed lunatic to move to the farm, and don't really have time to post on my blog, here is a link to Shy's post.

Whetting a Blade

enjoy,
