      The Battle of Athens

      I know that Wikipedia is not the best place, and in some cases the worst place, to get your info but this is what it says about the movie: The 1992 made-for-television movie An American Story (produced by the Hallmark Hall of Fame) was based upon the McMinn County War but set in a Texas town in...

      How will you bake when the "grid goes down"?

      Most people believe that cooking with a dutch oven is hard. Most of these people have tried cooking over a fire with nice hot flames and had bad results. When stewing and such cooking over hot coals is great, never over a flame, but when I am baking I want coals on the bottom and the lid to...

      Long term food rations

      One thing I do is portion my rice, beans, and bread packs and then freeze them for 4 days. I use a food saver and bags to vacuum seal them. This should kill weevils and just about anything else that could be in or on the stores. From my reading that lets my bread packs last about 4 years (it is...

      Staring a Fire - ever try this method?

      I was giving you a small, good nature, ration for not watching the video - but you are right, I was cutting you some slack because you posted before the content of the video was really discussed. Or at least trying to... We all do odd things on forums from time to time, I was just pointing out...

      Staring a Fire - ever try this method?

      In all honesty you didn't watch the video, but you did post before the couple or three posts talking about what is actually in the video. I understand if a thread is five or six pages long not reading everything, but people should at least read the first page or two before posting something.

      Staring a Fire - ever try this method?

      So, if nothing else this thread has become a litmus test for those who do and do not actually read a thread before posting. :n00b:

      Staring a Fire - ever try this method?

      Something tells me people are not watching the video. Firepiston is the login name of the person posting the video. It has nothing to do with fire pistons.

      Staring a Fire - ever try this method?

      The video does not show a fire piston. I believe the video is faked. the fire starts extremely rapidly as if there is an accelerant, and there is hardly any activity with the stone, definitely not enough to create the head required for a fire. If I were to recreate the same effect I would do...

      MSG Classes

      Maybe not a 4 day class but I bet you could do one day on an equipment demo and basic information and then two or three days of helping people prepare for their test. Kind of a study group.

      MSG Classes

      Reading the HAM operators thread got me thinking about how each of use should learn different skills and share the ones we have. I think it would be great to have our experts in their fields do a two to four part class/study group in their subject. Example: A four part class on HAM radios on...

      Marion County CERT

      To answer some questions posed in this thread: 1. You have to attend all of the classes to get the certification and equipment. 2. They are booked up by private entities for September but should be releasing an October schedule soon. 3. Federal funding for this program will go away at the...

      improvised fireplace

      I would strongly recommend going to Tractor Supply and purchasing a wood burning stove and piping. That said you can find many types of home made stove on the internet. Here is one version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16ZzJolp9oY Minibull also shows how to build two or three better...

      As I understand it you have to make all the classes, but I will ask when I get there on Saturday. The schedule I saw online doesn't go past August so I will ask what the future schedule is as well.
