New stove part 2

Well I have more pictures of my new stove. Just what you were waiting for I'm sure.

Charcloth Part 2

I thought I would post two pictures we took as I made charcloth. I used my new stove and I think the pictures are interesting.

New and updated website.

My website Homegrowndesigns.org has been updated and completely changed. I've added links and made the whole thing easier to navigate. Take a look then let me know what you think.

New rifle and ammo

I recently purchased a new rifle (Polish Tantal.) It is very nice even if I haven't had the chance to shoot it much yet. A new rifle needs lots of ammo so I got it some. 2160 rounds to be exact. It is surplus military ammo from either Bulgaria or Russia. I am pretty sure it is from Bulgaria but I'm not sure. I don't really feel like researching or even doing a simple Google search to try and find out. It shoots fine and that's all I care about. My wife was a little upset when I opened the box though. She doesn't understand why I would want to spend $250 on a "dirty wooden crate." When I explained to her that it was an imported dirty crate she was more understanding. She is awesome!!!!

Jerky

We made beef jerky a week ago. My wife took several pictures of the whole process but I don't have them right now. I only have 2 pictures of the finished product. It tasted very good. I think we will use a different type of meat next time. There was too much fat in the flank steak that we used. Other than that it was fun and easy to make. I'll post more pictures later.

New backpacking stove

I got a new backpacking stove a couple of weekends ago. I haven't gotten to actually use it on a trip yet but I did play with it some. It is a MSR Whisperlite International. It will burn several different fuels. In my limited experience with it so far it is quite nice. It gets very hot and will boil water rather quickly. I have tried it with MSR Superfuel (white gas) and kerosene. it worked great with both of them.

New tattoos: part two

My new tattoos are based on the front right paw of each of my dogs. Below are individual pictures of my tattoos with the dog that inspired them. Hope you enjoy.

The first one is Deoje. My big white German Shepard. Best dog ever.




Second, we have Shiloh. He is a big chicken, but super cool other than that.




Third, is Molly Mudd. Cutest dog ever. She is a handful though.

New Tattoos

We got new tattoos yesterday. This post will just show pictures of the new tattoos. Later today I will post pictures of the inspiration for the tattoos.

Chili bowls

We made Chili again. This time we decided to make bread bowls. They were pretty good. Easy to make and clean up was a breeze.... You just eat the bowl.
