Solar Oven Baked Sweet Potatoes
The solar oven is one of the best tools we own. Not one of the best “survival/preparedness” tools, but one of the best tools period.
Making Sauerkraut the Plain and Frugal Way
I made a video for you! This is making sauerkraut the old school way, with the philosophy behind fermentation rather than a focus on ingredients and recipes.
The Mud Years
This whole thing is a metaphor. It still works and is true the way it’s written, but sometimes I’m too subtle so… this whole thing is a metaphor.
