Re: A Disturbing Discovery about Dead Humans
I've heard the whole "fingernails and hair growing" thing is actually the skin shrinking and making it look like the nails and hair grew. As an anthropology student, a body farm strikes me as a cool way to dispose of this spoiled meat, when I'm done with it. California University of Pennsylvania wou...

Re: Wind-proof camp stove
I am also curious if it is made just to boil water or actually cook with a substance surrounding it. There's a difference between just cleaning water off something and actual food... Like I said, it reminds me of a mongolian fire pot. You heat a broth based soup in it, and cook meats and vegetables...

Wind-proof camp stove
"Students and a doctoral candidate at ETH Zurich have developed a camping stove with the flame on the inside, greatly reducing the negative effects of wind and heat loss. The new design was made possible by additive manufacturing." PeakBoil! It reminds me of a mongolian fire pot. No word on if/when ...

The woods around here are lousy with blueberries, but just before they get ripe, they're gone! From just starting to turn, to bare bushes, overnight. I don't even see what eats them!

Re: Anyone interested in a Boring Flamethrower
I hate to be a killjoy, but it looks like someone attached a brush killer to a toy gun. I have one one that I use to get my burn piles going, and I think I paid $15 for it at Hazard Fraught. While it does shoot a lot of fire out of the end, it goes maybe four feet. It'd make a pretty poor weapon if...

I picked up a Moultrie A-5 for my wife a couple years ago, just to use as a toy, monitoring places she does nature photography. She's happy with it. It's just over $50.
Re: Ticks
Just curious if you have considered treating your clothing with something like permethrin? If you are regularly venturing into area prone to ticks this can be an effective repellent. We've been using it for years in the middle of a "hot"zone. The only ones we find are dead ones tangled in our socks...

Coffee. Irish Breakfast tea. Caffeinated mints (I like Penguin). In a pinch, weather permitting, I could dig up and toast, grind, and brew some dandelion roots. Dandelion Roots? Wow- I didn't know they had caffeine. Thanks! They don't. Like Postum, they're a caffeine free coffee substitute. Does Ya...

Unless they changed the formula, you won't get much of a kick from Postum. It contains no caffeine at all, just toasted grains and molasses.Close_enough wrote:Postum (instant coffee)
I'm a two pot of coffee a day man myself. SHTF, I may be looking up Hiroshima_Morphine to do some bartering.

Re: Are cleaning wipes safe for dishes?
I'm not seeing anything in there that I'd consider especially harmful or unsafe, especially if you're also rinsing. I'm also not a chemist. That's exactly why I'm asking. I'm not a chemist either, but I do have sense enough not to try this with something like Clorox wipes. Wipes like these (includi...

Oddly enough, this actually happened to me. When I was in the Navy, working as a Ship's Master at Arms, I was assigned to help keep an eye on the crowd when then President, Jimmy Carter came to our base to give a speech.

Re: Turnip!
They're like potatoes, but not as starchy. Raw they have a slightly spicy aftertaste.
Put them in soups or stews, mash them, scalloped or au gratin, or pretty much any potato recipe.

Spotted this earlier today. It uses nanotechnology and sunlight to convert some of the water into hydrogen peroxide disinfectant, removing bacteria in about 20 minutes. Not much word on when they might go into production, but the article says they should be easy to produce and cheap. http://www.cnet...
