Honeyville is a less expensive place than most in both price and shipping. (They have a $4.99 shipping charge for any size order) www.honeyvillegrains.com, I think it is. I also like their more...

The weight of the bacon before they put it in the can and cook it is 3 pounds. I found some cans for $11 each. So it isn't really that expensive when you figure that in.

It also has rave reviews...

I understand when you connect to the grid with your solar energy, when the power goes out on the grid, it goes out for you too. If you are unconnected from the grid, you still will have power. It'd...

There is another thread discussing some stories, but I thought it would be a good idea to have a discussion about the various survival stories and what things were done right and what was done wrong,...

I kind of object to that part of the title, "Escape from nature". I'm aware that the people themselves did not give it that title, but it sure reflects an estrangement from nature, doesn't it? One...

Why would you have to choose? They are all valuable in their own right. Rabbit does not have any fat, which you need, but certainly you should eat it if it's available.
Any fish can be edible and...
