If it is a true TEOTWAWKI situation everyone in the area will be doing the same thing as you and within a couple weeks game would become very scarce within miles around every town and citys would...

One problem that may occur with canning in vacuum seal bags is you might be not getting all the air out. It won’t cause the food to spoil but it will cause oxidation which is bad for flavor,...

Beowouf,
Do you cast your own roundballs. Can wheelweights be used safely in a smoothbore?
Have you ever tried casting your own shot?

I once dried a jar of corn that didn't seal when cannig it. It turned out just fine but I stored it in the fridge because it had butter in it from the attempted canning. I don't think frozen would...

The longest I have ever had jurkey last is about 22 months. We found a cakepan full of it on the top shelf of our pantery when we moved the shelves. It was made without a cure, just salt and...

What do you get for accuracy when loaded like that?

I understand that the reason for using cow (cream of wheat) or and overpowder and cushion wad is to seal the gasses in behind the bullet...

I won't get started on it untill after christmass due to work and deer hunting.

I have a 20 gauge sxs that I have used for small game, #6 lead or#2 steal, that I am hopping to use for deer hunting. I was wondering how you load your smoothbores with roundballs.

Any expereance with smoothbores?

In going through the older post I see that some of you shoot blackpowder, I am wondering if anyone here shoots smoothbore flintlocks.

No, after replacing the engine mounts the rear seal on the transmision began to leak and after a year and a half it got to the point that ATF got more expensive than fuel (it took two quarts a day...

I used to have a 78 f-150 with a 300-6 that just wouldn't die that made me famous at work for the way I "fixed" it. I rewired the alt. so I could use it as a welder. The drivers side front spring...

The first one that candid posted is the type that I am looking for except without all the extras like the hopper,the shroud and the rachet system. The one I am looking for is just two two circular 2...

I have came across several like that but I am looking for a mill to make flours. What you linked to looks like it would flake or crush it more than grind it.

A while back I came acros a website that showed how to make an indian(from India) style grain mill out of cement. It was about a foot in diameter, eight inches high, had a hardwood central bearing...

Will retting work with cattails? Will it weaken the fibers?

I can not remove the chaff from the fibers by scraping or rolling because it just sticks to the fibers so well that rolling doesn't do anything and scraping causes the fibers to rip. I have not tried...

I have been playing with cattails to make fine cordage. I can get it down to four strands with a breaking point somewhare over 15 lbs (lifted two gallens of water). But it averages .060" in diameter...
