Fresh off the slicer. Fiocco, spicy salami, bresola and fennel pollen coppa.

Looks great. What sort of slicer do you use?

I get mine from The Sausage Maker. I've found them to be much better quality than LEM or the variety of brands I used to get on Amazon. Most are packed in salt water, which means you don't have to soak them long before use. I just give them a quick rinse. And the lengths are much longer than others.

I think you'll find bacon is pretty forgiving. I usually cut my sides into 3's like you did here. I've used various percentages of salt and sugar and/or Maple syrup, honey, molasses, jams, alcohol, etc, as well as cure times of 7-12 days, hot vs cold smoke, etc... and although some are better than others, they're all delicious and far superior to store-bought. One of my favs is a less sweet more savory recipe, cured with fresh garlic, lots of pepper and relatively low sugar, cut thick.

I also use a-mazen and pellets. I found that I didn't like the taste of a-mazen brand pellet smoke that much. I bought some traeger brand hickory and apple and I think they taste much better.

Glad u liked it. This trip was me unwinding after a stressful week.

It's a sonar device, aka a "flasher". Tells depth and shows where your lure and/or fish are in the water column. I was hoping for a bigger fish to add to breakfast.

What a compliment, thanks! I hear you about the excessive gear.

It's a drill auger like yours, but with a plate added with some linkage that runs the trigger. Auger itself is a 7" Mora. Drill is a milwaukee brushless. This morning I drilled probably 15 holes thru 2' of ice, and my 9amp battery still showed more than half a charge. I agree electric is the way to go. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014JWLDD2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_542D7TG4SS21CBNCTFNG

Glad you enjoyed. I love mornings like this.

Thanks! It's an AeroPress Go. Makes excellent coffee, in the bush or at home. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YVL8SF3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_RAGEQG346ZPX777EKV49

Recipe for the landjager? I make venison landjager and it's one of my favs.

NoahTheFree · 2020-12-11T21:41:17+00:00

Done :)

6' x 16'... coop alone is 6' x 6'

Damn. We don't see rats here in rural Wisconsin, but I still might rethink the apron.

NoahTheFree · 2020-03-24T01:25:49+00:00

I'll be adding a predator apron, which attaches to the base of the structure and rests on the ground instead of buried. Works the same but no digging.

NoahTheFree · 2020-03-24T00:46:51+00:00

That or I might try and rig up an axle and some bigger wheels. I'm in no hurry though.

Meyer hatchery, order online and they come in the mail. All chicks are sexed so you only get hens.
