i wonder, could this technique be used with a modern metal axe head in a similar fashion?
if you greased up the axe head so that it would be resistant to moisture and then fed a tree through the...

i prefer the tomahawk, myself. i'm not exactly a big burly mountain man with huge arms, so i need the most efficient tools i can get. a tomahawk's one pound weight is focused on a blade only a few...
my father in-law works for sandvik, but i haven't worked with any of their materials myself. if you have a specific question, i could certainly pass it along.

moose is awesome, and nothing tops emu meat. buffalo is pretty good, too.
i carry a leatherman micra and my inhaler. i'm just a cube farmer, so i don't need much else. i usually have a small notebook and pencil, if i have a pocket for it.

i think i'd have to go with a horse, honestly. anything that runs on a liquid fuel will run out eventually, unless you want to somehow make your own vegetable oil for a diesel or something. since...
yes, the setup you propose would work if you just want your power generation to be the backup if the grid fails. the expensive equipment i was talking about is if you want to have your power...

honey doesn't spoil. in fact, honey is the one food edible by man that will never spoil. spoiling means "rendered inedible by bacteria", or thereabouts. honey is a natural antibacterial substance...
i personally pack modern, but i pack light (about 11 pounds for a 4-6 day pack currently). don't get me wrong, i'm all for extreme survivalism with ancient technologies and materials, but those...

howdy! i'm in the spokane valley, so i know what you mean about the snow. did you see yesterday's? whoo!

i'd really like to start buying silver, but the only places i can find that sell it are the little coin shops around town. am i missing something, or is that really the only place to buy silver...
