In the 70's I worked for Recon out of OKC. We built and added on to existing electrical sub-stations. When we needed to tap into a buried ground cable we'd try where the blue prints said it was...
I generally give all snakes the option to retreat but about a year ago a friend of mine with a "for hire" campground asked me to help him clean up under a large rock that young kids frequented. Said...
Senior citizens from my church used to occasionally take group trips to Wichita Falls to dine. Not so much lately. :gagged:
Spent the first two years of my life about 25 miles east of Phoenix Arizona, next three years on the island of Newfoundland off the east coast of Canada, next three years in central Louisiana, next...
Abnormally nice weather can cause surprises as well . A U.S. Marine has had part of one leg amputated after being bitten by a good sized Diamondback Rattlesnake twelve days ago while hiking in the...
Wax is not really a single use item. It is similar to hot glue if used in a cool environment for constructing a makeshift snare. You can use it to reduce friction on a sled or increase friction in...
Sorry for the delay but thought I'd weigh in. Each node of bamboo has sort of a crease in each section where the leaf (stem) grew and they alternate from side to side. A cross section of the bore...
That's what I was wondering, where'd he go?
Cool, I hope to learn this myself. Glad you're sharing!

In the late 70's I was running a pop route in a worn out truck. I had one...
I recently learned that there is a lot of Kaolin (white) clay in the "mountain" range just north of me. According to the Wiki article about the stuff, In April 2008, the US Naval Medical Research...

You can also see through a lot of potato chip bags if you are caught in an area with no bob but lots of litter. Shiny side out should work as good as a space blanket.
Next time you break a lens, keep the pieces. They work just as good as the whole lens, just wont stay in the frame. Still, an oddly shaped monocle
is better than walking up to someone to find out...
I might be eating like an animal myself for the first 24 to 48 hours but by the end of wk. one, I plan on getting comfortable.
They won't save your life but knowing how to use them can make roughing it a little more enjoyable.
It's a lot easier and faster to whittle up a pair of sticks than it is to carve a fork and you...
How about the old goof sitting on his can says "Why try to make fire, challenge lasts 39 days, surely they'll give us fire before then." He'd probably check expiration dates on any packaged food they...
Yeah, like don't cry in public.
You can turn your left handed gloves inside out and use them on the right hand.
Power was out for about five days here and found myself wearing an Air Force Arctic parka I bought in the early...
I've eaten lots of cooked bugs when I was down on my luck, cleaning out the cupboard and found that the Jiffy mix was buggy. Also ate a lot of ants as a youngster. The small black ones had a habit...
The Gerber "Infinity" 1AA flashlight is now at the top of my "to get" list!
When my kids were small, I had a teenager that liked short cutting through my back yard and down the driveway just as fast as he could go.
Asked him twice to go slow but no affect so I decided to...
I made one in '59 but I didn't use a diode, used a chunk of galena and a safety pin. You moved the point of the pin around on the galena to tune the radio.
Here's a list of other crystals that can...
Me and a friend came across one of these when I was twelve but we were having a hard time convincing folks to hold on to the ends of the bare wires.
My friends dad came to the rescue, soldered tin...
