Oh yeah. But not having kids, was there any truth to the "This is going to hurt me more than it is you." I just never bought into it.

It's all lies crash.
Uh, no. The hurtin' started when dad said, "Go pick out a switch and it better be a stout one."
Fortunately, that didn't happen very often. Probably because I had too much respect for him to say something stupid like that.
I never said that to my kids (I used a baseball bat....no, no, no. Not true). But there were times I had to discipline them and sure didn't want to.
I was late getting on board with this show, but you can watch the full episodes (First only, now) here:
http://video.discovery.com/#
They only run 30 seconds of commercials at the breaks, so you can watch the entire episode in 45 minutes.
Not sure when they'll have episode 2 on it.
I think the father and two girls have a completely dysfunctional family and I echo what everyone else has been saying already. No respect for each other.
I can't believe that dad agreed to spend 3 months in a cabin with two women he must have known dont respect him.
Maybe it's his way of trying to teach them something about life or themselves. Of course there is the possibility that he could use them for grizz bait.
Two words that outline his plan Life Insurance. Gee your honor I don't know what happened, I guess wild animals took off with them while I was fishing.:rolleyes:Quote:

Ahaha, I guess that show is proving your point. I have to admit we do have our fair share of idiots down here.Quote:

I think if every child spent more time working and less time at the mall or gang stuff, or electronic entertainment, that they the children would be happier, and have more self worth, and feel that they contribute to the family unit.
When the "wall tent" couple canned their fish, some lids were not sealed. Is it possible to reseal them at that point, or do they just need to eat all they can? (but not he cans/jars! :))
I agree with the theory, and you don't necessarily have to come from a farm to learn it. You just need to have parents with the backbone to teach it to their ankle biters.Quote:

If that's the way you seen your Grandmother do it, I'm betting that's the way to go alright. Actually, me too, that's the way my Mom and Grandma did it. SO the three of 'em together, klkak, gotta be right, right?
i leave the bands loose, so that the expanding air can still escape, but with the lid well in place and just barely screwed on so that it still seals and holds a hardcore vacuum as it cools. this helps me be more sure no gasses are being produced [and hance, no microbes are present] inside the jar while it's stored. if the vacuum isn't still fully sealed, the jar isn't trustworthy.
i've still only seen the one episode [the first] but i look foreward to seeing how it plays out. my first thought is that that is my idea of a vacation.
I'm with Canid. You can put the rings on, just don't tighten them. I always thought they helped keep the lid centered.
Hopeak - I agree with you and Trax. I started sorting potatoes at 6. I got 10 cents a hundred pound. You've never seen panic until you see a 6 year old grab a rotten potato. The worst smell on earth.
Canid I agree this would be a dream come true. My son wants to apply if there would be a second show. We always left the rings a little loose also and it works every time. Make sure the disc wieght is on the right preesure setting for what you are cooking and time it right or it will be canned mush.
