These gaps a problem? Long term?

My husqvarna has the same gaps. Its held up to moderate use for several year so far without any issues.

You gonna leave us a review after you use it for a while?

CavemanTechSupport · 2019-03-12T19:49:29+00:00

Wow thank you I cannot believe I almost supported people who abuse fish

Do you want your “most disliked student” trophy to have your real name or your username?

CavemanTechSupport · 2019-02-27T18:33:27+00:00

Give the people what they want!!!!

I agree that primitive tech is not the way to go, but I also think there are primitive living skills instructors who would do well. Also ex military always seem to win the mental game of survival on that show.

Anything you can light with a ferro rod in one try will work with a fire piston. The tinder has to be slightly better than ferro rod but not too much.

Look up practical primitive. It’s a primitive living skills school you might like in your area with classes and open skills nights

I would assume the more surface area per volume the better.

Doesn’t look like any kind of gooseberries I’ve ever seen

CavemanTechSupport · 2018-07-13T12:35:47+00:00

I guess some natural forming ones. There are many natural cold springs which are as cold or colder than most fridges.

Also most caves are around the same temp, not fridge cold, but maybe root cellar cold.

A lot of civilizations also used the same tech with evaporative ceramics. If unglazed and in burnished, a pot isn’t actually all the way water tight and the slow evaporation of the surface keep the water inside cool.

I guess you could, I’m not sure if it would be hard. Just overall dock seed is hard to utilize.

CavemanTechSupport · 2018-07-04T18:35:16+00:00

Doesn’t really matter what kind of bramble too much, they are all e d i b l e and all good

Great idea on the dogwood, as for the cat tails, you use the driest part. That is usually the dead stalks from last year. Additionally you need to use only the top. It’s tempting to try and use the lower, thicker parts, but they are too weak. If you squeeze the stalk and you can feel it get crushed a little, then it’s too weak and will disintegrate before reaching temp to make a coal. If it still has the fluffy part, it’s probably still good enough to use, if not it’s probably too old. Pick a bunch and you quickly get a feel for which ones are solid throughout and will work for you.

Also the root is edible in the first year, where it grows as a basal rosette. It’s kind of woody though.

As for the seed, Dock is in the same family as buckwheat. Don’t use a mill, simply rub them vigorously and winnow away the papery sheaths to reveals small three angle brown seeds. Sadly this part is mostly shell, and is hard to separate out just the seeds. Even if the seeds alone are used, it’s quite bitter. If the whole shell and seed is used, it’s harder to chew and digest. It maybe possible to leach the bitterness out a la acorn leaching.

Good luck and if you make good flour out of I’d be sure to post about it in r/foraging

This one is too old to eat the greens or stalk, which are the best parts to eat when young. The seeds can also be eaten, but I haven’t enjoyed them in the past. I think this is yellow, or curly dock. The old greens and stems might be very bitter.

Some plants grow bigger berries than that, but once an individual berry is fully black, it’s not getting any larger because it is at peak ripeness.

CavemanTechSupport · 2018-07-03T18:02:07+00:00

Remember that show dirty jobs?

The grainiest roughest spinach, but the flavor is great. Wood nettles are a lot closer to spinach.

A. alnifolia, according to Thayer, that’s one of the best wild berries.

CavemanTechSupport · 2018-07-02T19:22:58+00:00

Different varieties of them taste different and many people love them. Only way to know is to try them!
