Here in the North of the Southern hemisphere it's HOT and wet hence the reason why our summers are called the Wet Season. Some die hards sit down to the Australian traditional roasted meal with all the sides and others sit down to a mixed table of cold salads, sides, cold seafoods, cold cuts...

I wait for the opening of Northern American and Canadian trapping season every year. I have a few favorite channels I like to watch but it looks "Traplines and Inlines" aren't trapping this year instead he's moved his entire bush camp and will be building a log cabin in a different location...

I just got my e-bill from my power provider and just as well I was sitting down. $289.56 for the quarter which is double my last bill. I'm a single person household and the only three things that are on 24/7 are two small chest freezers and a portable 90 litre camp fridge. I make sure that all...

* I normally DISPISE Vice news but, in this instance they actually did a good job in reporting this. Credit where credit is due. This situation in Sri Lanka has been a 10 journey to get to this point with various news agencies reporting difficulties in obtaining fuel and food for the last 10...

Perhaps like some of us here I follow..followed Cliff High. I was astonished by the accuracy of his Predictive Linguistics predictions. And, sure he came out with some pretty nutty stuff but all and all I looked upon it as harmless fairy tales. He was that blindingly brilliant but eccentric...

Here in Australia dog and knife hunting is extremely popular. The dogs are bred to not only track but to catch/ hold the feral pig by the ears until the owner can run in, snag a back leg and stick the pig in the heart. The dogs are fitted with plates. This is a velar vest that is buckled onto...

I am wanting to buy all the makings, fittings and tools to make snares. The thing is that in this country wire snaring is illegal so you simply can't find dedicated snare supplies. Also every thing is called different things. Wire cable is wire rope here. Ferrules are called either sleeves or...

ATM.....I am sifting through vast amounts of data online - medical journals, peer reviewed papers, alt media etc... I have a information on a LOT of non-surgical, non chemo substances that purport to be anti-cancer. Precious few of these are welded into a workable protocol. Dosages of various...

I have a lot of dif ways to catch fish because, yeah, I live on the Great Barrier Reef. BUT I saw a video that popped up on my YT feed about catching fish using trot lines. Now in my state trot lines are classed as a set line and are banned.....BUT SHTF all that goes out the window. Has anyone...

I've just done a nutso crazy thing. I've just priced 4 year old camel bullocks to train myself so I can walk out into the desert and leave society to commit suicide. So far I've found a place that will sell me 4 year bullock,s two places that will train me to train the bullocks. One of those...

Today we commemorate the OUTSTANDING men and women of the Australian and New Zealand defense forces. We celebrate and remember those who sacrificed everything for out freedom. Ties with Australia, New Zealand and the United States of America run deep and we have been allies in every theater of...

Yesterday I made a unpleasant discovery. I only had 1 teaspoon of bread yeast left. Now, I know I have at least 2 more blocks in the depths of my chest freezer but they could be anywhere and they are buried under a lot of meat. So, I got on YT and found a recipe for potato yeast. I added the 1...

ATM I have two guinea pig sows out of three that are confirmed pregnant. In this heat that's not good because if they get too hot that can abort and die. So, I've had to move the whole herd inside and every time I walk past their cages they whistle at me to give them carrots. Noisy little poop...

It's the start of a new year and with it the excitement of a new year of growing food. I have been busy making a garden map and planting plan for my front and back gardens using last year's map. Reading the notes I kept both at home and here on this site I am able to see what worked and what...

A Cabin Full Of Food. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26863685-a-cabin-full-of-food I found this absolute gem from Homestead Tessie on YT. It's brilliant. None of the recipes require elecrical appliances to perpare. Gives recipes on making yoghurt and ginger beer bugs and sourdough...

As of this morning I am finally 100% debt free. I paid the last outstanding amount this morning out of my pension. I think I might celebrate by buying a nice steak and a even nicer bottle of wine and maybe some chocolate icecream. To add to the good news it does look like I am able to apply...

My fav rare herb nursery had motherwort plants for sale and by the time I got my debit card out of my bag their online store showed only 3 left. I brought all three and they are being sent via express post. I am also planting mugwort and garlic chives.

Welcome to a New Year! Thank goodness 2018 is OVER and good riddance. This morning I spent time going over on-line seed sites and then I ran a tape measure over a wide strip of lawn I'm going to turn into a new tomato garden. I'll be looking at 2 9mtr rows of reo mesh and fencing off street...

As you may know I've recently reached a huge financial milestone in paying off a huge tax bill. My next goal is to buy a battery bank for my solar power system. I need to have some way of having energy independence even if it's in a small way. Also with the rate inflation is increasing I need...

I looked for a similar thread to bump but couldn't find one so...Here it is! LOL. I tend to think outside the box so here are my picks.... Canning lids. People will be wanting to store their harvest in greater quantities so canning lids will be in high demand. Clear lighters. If they are...
