Today's been a Volbeat, Tool, and Flaw day. With a lil Perfect Circle thrown in. This is quite possibly the darkest cover of "Imagine." ~angie Sent from my VS501 using Tapatalk

I've been making my own hand/body wipes for about a month now. This started because the water access that I had that was closest is frozen for the season. Iwas trying to cut down on cost and water usage without resorting to "sanitizing" my hands several times a day. I store mine in an old...

Being from a family of mechanics I can tell you that in my family nobody considered GOJO a waterless experience. It was the first step of a multi step hand cleaning process that did include water. Are you thinking of using it for just everyday hygiene (like to routinely wash your hands after...

A couple of winters ago I started drinking a spicy tea and gradually I've switched over to making my own. It's got ginger and cinnamon, a pinch of cloves and a little splash of lemon or orange juice. This is anecdotal, but on winter days that I don't drink it to start the day and have something...

So...last night it got down to -46°F. The icehouse was cozy and warm, for the most part. The air inside is 65°F. The only real change I noticed at this temp was that I had set a quarter full gallon of water on one of the hole covers and it froze solid. This is the first time it's frozen setting...

So recently I read a thread that JDGumbee started about how to stay warmer at night by making a vented sleeping bag tent to go over the upper part of your body. This is an interesting idea and he does a way better job of explaining it in detail. I highly suggest reading it. That post got me...

Tonight was ham and veggie soup. Was going to make biscuits. Made dumplings instead. That'll be breakfast tomorrow, too. ~angie Sent from my VS501 using Tapatalk

Hey Karl, how ya holding up down there? You're spot on about the Lake Superior ice. I've never been out on it (too scary, lol), but I did live up north of Grand Marais for 3 years. The lake is loud. ~angie Sent from my VS501 using Tapatalk

Hey Scotty, Under the "Share your story" section there's a forum titled "Conversions and Modifications." Is that what you're looking for? I agree with R&C though, nobody on here is going to get bent outta shape for you accidentally putting it in the wrong place. Unless you're spamming, the...

Yup, pretty cold. And the ice cracking thing is frightening if you don't expect it. But even just being in the woods with trees all around cracking from the cold weather can be pretty loud. Some of them are loud enough it sounds like a rifle. And this area either you're in the woods or on a...

This is not exactly on the specific subject, but I thought it could add to someone else's sleeping bag tent situation. I recently figured out I can get double mileage on my hot water bottle if it's wrapped in a sweater and then put in my bed under the blankets. I know this may seem obvious, but...

Count mine as the third vote for spices. My family knows I'm into "weirdstuff" and so I was gifted a jar of dukkah over Christmas. It's a north African spice and nut blend. Last night I fried onions, garlic and cubed kielbasa in my rice cooker. When the meat had some color I threw in 2 shredded...

Hi everybody, Tav, minnow, spaceman. Well, looks like between my mobility issues and the cold as hell weather we're expecting for the next little while, I'm going to be sticking pretty close to home for the next several days. The latest weather alert says "dangerously cold wind chills as low as...

Hello and welcome to the forum Squirrel! There's lots of good stuff on here. ~angie Sent from my VS501 using Tapatalk

Good point Dingfelder. OP - what exactly are you looking for when you say "fresh"? ~angie Sent from my VS501 using Tapatalk

That's so cool Lenny! ~angie Sent from my VS501 using Tapatalk
