The title is: Avoid Food Poisoning and Botulism | Family Camping in Mexico and Belize

On our way to Mexico and Belize we went through California to visit our Uncle on his ranch. While there we looked at the old food pantry that has not been used in more than 20 years. There was a lot of food in jars on the shelves that was canned more than 20 years ago. Trying to eat most of what was in the mason jars would be like trying to get food poisoning and some of it would have a high likelihood of containing botulism. One mason jar could easily contain enough toxin to kill a person. When doing home canning we want to use proper canning methods to avoid getting sick or causing sickness in others. Re-using ball mason jars is fine as long as they are in good condition. You just want to be careful of what jars you use. Using proper canning jars, a pressure canner for low acidity foods as well as meats and fish and good canning recipes should ensure that you never get sick from home canned foods. We are all for home canning and have canned out food for years. I just thought that this pantry was a good example.

The rest of the video just shows around the ranch and fairport, california before we moved on to Paradise, California, Nevada and Arizona.

Here is an interesting video I found.

The title is: Making Acorn Bread in Oregon | Homestead Kids

In this video we show how the kids made delicious, nutritious Acorn bread using Acorns we gathered around our homestead in Oregon before we moved to Belize.
The basic process is as follows:
Go out foraging for wild foods. When you find a good acorn supply, harvest as many as you can and bring them home. Process the acorns into flour (this is a whole different subject than making Acorn bread!). Combine the ingredients in a large bowl, and bake it in the oven at the right temperature and the right time.
Now for the fun part: Eat the Acorn bread! So Delicious!!

For anyone who subscribes to our channel and mentions this video, we will send the Acorn Bread recipe to you. Just pm us to be sure we get the message and we will email the recipe right back.
It is definitely worth making this recipe!
It also goes great with coffee so go to our website and learn a bit more about the ins and outs of making delicious coffee and espresso. Including making espresso using a rocket stove or camp stove or fire:

The title is: 6 Year Old Boy Learning to Milk a Goat | Homestead Kids

The boy gets his turn to try the milking goat. Because the milk goat, Cindie, is used to the one girl milking her, she is a bit picky about who milks her. As you see, she is not used to the new hands on her and gets a bit fussy.
In the end, the boy does well for his first time working with milk goats until Cindie decides to kick the can. The boy as well as the rest of the kids love goats milk. We use goat milk in ice cream, cheese, cooking and just plain drinking. And of course goat milk is great in coffee! We have a few milk goats on the homestead farm here in Oregon. We love homesteading and do our best with what we have.

This video will show you how easy it is to make “nearly” M.R.E.s. I say nearly because you do need to add water or broth to cook them. This is a CHEAP way to make a lot of long term shelf stable food for pennies! Prepper food, emergency food, what ever you call it this is a way to be more self reliant on a budget while keeping nasty chemicals like MSG out of your diet.

I would love to hear your suggestions, please make your suggestions based on these criteria-
Grocery store availability
Economical
Stores well for at least 2 years
Basic ingredients that have multiple uses are a higher priority

The title is: Nitro from Ping Pong Balls

http://ift.tt/1PCO2Tg
http://ift.tt/1SLOXaD

Ping pong balls are made of nitrocellulose, I am sure that many would like to create non-nitro based balls, but industry has never been able to create ping ping balls with the same bounce as the nitrocellulose based balls.

Now, while extracting nitro from ping pong balls is easy, the nitrocellulose is adulterated with camphor. This turns the explosive potential of the balls down while making them more plastic.

Now, while I like to extract the nitrocellulose to make nitrocellulose lacquer for making e-matches (electric ingitators) for my rockets, woodworkers have long used nitrocellulose lacquer for fine furniture and musical instruments.

To make the lacquer and extract the nitro from ping pong balls all you need are:Ping pong balls, acetone, scissors, a wooden stir stick, and a glass jar with a tight fitting lid.

Simply cut up 4 or 5 balls, and cover them with twice as much acetone as you need to cover the balls.

Let sit overnight.

I like to add in some double based (smokeless) gunpowder that I save from my mistakes while reloading because it gives me a hotter flame for igniting my model rockets, and it allows me to waste less powder when reloading.

I haven’t written much on End Time, or biblical referenced material in quite a while. My recent focus has been technical and prepping. However, that doesn’t mean I haven’t been reading up on it.

Interestingly, a year ago I had sat with a friend for coffee. We were discussing end-times, and speculating how it will all unfold.

I was providing him my take on the mark of the beast. During discussion, I pointed out if the mark is  tattoo or some form of embedded chip, the individual could remove or cut it out. The bible clearly states if one takes this mark of the beast, there is no redemption.

Revelation 14: 9-11

Doom for Worshipers of the Beast

9 Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone  worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand,

10 he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

11 “And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name.”

This is an indication, once it’s done, there is no turning back. A very dire warning indeed. So if someone has a tattoo, remove it. If someone has a RFID chip, cut it out.

However, if the person’s DNA makeup is altered or changed (think GMO), then the individual would not be able to reverse it.  Let that sink in for a moment.

So why would someone alter their body, via genetics?  Transhumanism.

Transhumanism is defined as,

“The belief or theory that the human race can evolve beyond its current physical and mental limitations, especially by means of science and technology.”

Make no mistake. Transhumanism is a growing movement. Check out http://ift.tt/IrwcC1 on the desire to enhance the humanity to 2.0.

We are already aware of science and technology manipulating plants and animals. A simple search provides immediate results showing Cows providing human milk and Cows with human dna. The leap to modify humans themselves, is not a far leap.

Back to the conversation with my friend.

While he thought it was interesting, I couldn’t help but wonder, if he thought I was really out there, mentally. This was last year.

This weekend, I came across Rob Skiba’s video titled, ” Parasitic Mind Control and the Mark of the Beast”.

It seems I wasn’t the only one thinking along these lines. Do we really know how this will all unfold? No. However, I really believe we are in the last days and the world will end as we know it.  Are we ready?

Here’s another take on the DIY Chicken Feeder that uses a 90° storm water plumbing elbow & cost under $4 to make.. I love this design as it can be scaled up or down depending on your flocks requirements..

The title is: Cheap chicken feeder, how to build a bulk chicken/poultry feeder, PT1..

Had a friend come around & we built a chook feeder each of varying sizes.. It was a really easy build only requiring the drum & the flanged elbow.. The only tools needed were a marking pen, ruler, hacksaw, & a 95mm hole saw but other methods could be used to cut out the hole..
The build itself took all of 10 minutes to make, it was that easy & cost about $20AU/US.. Will make the job of feeding the Chooks so much easier as the drum will easily take a whole 25kg/55lb bag..

****Found a supplier in the United States/North America for anyone that is having problems sourcing the 90°Flange..
http://ift.tt/1ZJAhIb
Price is about the same as over here so that great..

**** UPDATE ****
Had a few issues with a messy eater spilling grain out from the feeder so have come up with a fix that is REALLY cheap & easy… Can be added during or after the build..

Hope that helps anyone having issues..

A big thanks to Hamish121212 for posting his clip on the feeder..

I would also like to thank Adie for springing for the elbow.. Looks like Adie’s blog has been closed, sorry about that folks.

The title is: Endless fish & vegetables with aquaponics : Prepper Fest Arizona

I was extremely impressed with this aquaponic system of providing fish protein and vegetables in a self contained low maintenance package.

You could fit the entry level “Genesis” system on any patio or backyard.

Combine this system of fish & vegetables from endless food systems along with the meat from rabbits, quails and quail eggs…and you could have an impressive supply of food even in an urban/city environment.

No need to rely on electricity for refrigeration and no need to rely on a grocery store.

You also dont need acres of farm land to provide you the meat and vegetables.

And the nice thing about fish is…you can feed them bugs, worms and insects which are usually abundant and free if you run out of fish food?
