    Non-stick frying pans

    Using cast iron is definitely a bit of an art form. Once you learn it, it works great- lots of good vids on youtube demonstrating the process. I like cast iron when I want a slow diffusion of heat (cast iron is a bit porous and acts as an insulator to some degree). When I want a quick transfer...

    Sewing Machine Reccomendations

    The old Singer 431 series were, still are some of the best all round machines ever made. There are many in excellent shape for cheap at auctions and garage sales, plus lot's of spare parts/accessories to be had on online.

    Non-stick frying pans

    We've been using a pressed carbon steel frying pan for years and it's the most non-stick pan I've ever tried.

    How many freezers is too many....??

    I'm offgrid and have learned to keep multiply systems of refridgeration that can operate independently of each other- seems like stuff is always breaking at the worst time. So, we have a 12 volt dc freezer (Sundanzer) running off a solar battery bank (can also run it off a vehicle 12 volt if...

    Rain gear recommendations for Idaho hunt September - October

    Any interest in wool? I live in N. Idaho, work and hike a lot in the rain. I've spent decades experimenting with all manner of synthetics, Ventile cotton and wool. My standard cold rain set up is similar to my sub freezing set up- thin wool base layer, darn tough wool socks, wool button up shirt...

    Does anyone NOT wear merino underwear?

    If you can find or afford Medima angora wool underwear from Germany they are really nice. I have a set of long john underwear from them that I've been wearing every winter for over 20 years (got them cheap at Sierra Trading Post). They are torn a bit, but the material is otherwise in excellent...
