Just to spook you here is some history about an event that has come to be called the Carrington Event. From August 28, 1859, until September 2, numerous sunspots were observed on the Sun. Just before noon on September 1, the English amateur astronomers Richard Carrington and Richard Hodgson independently made the first observations of […]
Pallet Gardening
Somehow I always end up getting these with the intent of using the wood on projects, and then ending up breaking the things beyond practical usability and turning them into kindling instead; and in college somehow we always managed to track these down for bon fires. The point being is that these are one more […]
Hunting Camo
If you’ve seen my post on military land based camouflage then you already know I love the stuff. To be quite honest, after researching and jumping between name-brand sites I stumbled onto a list of camo sold by Cabelas; and though I’ll be damned, it’s all here. I get no money by telling you I […]
The E-Tool
Here is another tool that I have a love hate relationship with. While it is amazingly compact, it sucks for digging anything larger than a personal foxhole. No matter what era, if you get a real MILSPEC item you will be pleased with both its durability and quality. I’ll hit history over the next few […]

Cleverness
A while ago I share some great home cleverness; so here’s a little more. Jon
Nuts for Coconuts
Coconut is highly nutritious and rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It is classified as a “functional food” because it provides many health benefits beyond its nutritional content. Coconut oil is of special interest because it possesses healing properties far beyond that of any other dietary oil and is extensively used in traditional medicine among […]
Meals in Jars
My wife’s aunt shared this and it was too good not to pass along. I had never thought to do this; great article, great site. Check out the link, I know you’ll love it. Jon “These are really great ready-to-make meals in jars! You simply assemble the dry ingredients in a jar, and then when […]
Zombies for Real?
No I’m not going to be talking about bath salts; but for kicks and giggles let’s take a look at some real world viruses and scientific experiments and their zombie like symptoms. Zombies have been at the forefront of our cultural minds since Romero made the first Night of the Living Dead; but they have […]
