Doing the Stuff of Self-Reliance is about trading theory for action! As an extension of our blog, we'll cover stuff we're doing on our journey to self-reliance and preparedness... student to student style.
We'll cover practical skills (not theory) of self-reliance like functional fitness, outdoor self-reliance, emergency preparedness, blacksmithing, food independence, hunting/fishing, and other stuff of interest.
When you cut the notches stay away from the line, leave around 1". It will help when you start to hew. When you notch use the heel of the blade to cut the underside of the log. Have fun!
Black Walnut is potent, It's great as a detoxer, But if somebody's really sick or having overload of toxins once you start taking black walnut it can be very difficult so I would say go with it really slow for those people who know they have heavy metal poisoning or are really trying to purge..... If you're really trying to clear your system you will also have to take one or two steam rooms a week and then the key is you must take a thorough shower after every steam room session most people don't know that and they almost don't understand the reasoning to take a shower but the reasoning is you must get the toxins out/and off of your body/ black walnut is all about toxic overload It is helping to clear the body of the most harmful. And yes I work in healthy healing now for 33 years
7 years late to the party. Better late than never, though. I'd suggest a bowline knot to attach the line to the car. And if possible, some sort of saver to avoid it being crushed on the tight bend in the bumber hole.

if a rope snaps under enough tension it can come flying back at you at around 800 mph, 2x the speed of sound. Do some research and consider what that will do to you. 😬💩
Omg, he fumbled around so much at the beginning. I would not pass his class. ADHD engaged fully when he zoomed in and then zoomed out and kept trying to start the lecture.
I attempted to make some a few years ago, but I wasn't able to finish the process because my parents got sick and I forgot about it. The jars are sitting under my basement bar with the hulls still in them, but they are in vodka. Do you think it will still be good?
Do you have some basic dimensions on this or follow up comments after a couple years of use? What would you do differently. How long is the log and what are the basic dimensions of stuff. Thanks
I grew up piss poor in northern Arkansas, and that's how I learned to split wood. My little ass couldn't swing a maul, so I figured out how to bust wood with a double bitted axe.
