Thanks Jan.  Yea Eddie was taken with the TOPS knives....and took them with him.  However, Mike at TOPS sent me another one.  Mike is a good guy who was Special Forces back in the 60's.

The June issue of Knives Illustrated which will be out on the stands this coming Wednesday, will have an article about TOPS Knives being evaluated by Navy Seal Eddie.  The Article is entitled: SEAL of Approval.

(I am posting this within other groups.)

I have ordered my first Scandi-grind knife, it was made in Finland. I know alot of ya'll are into Bushcraft and use this type knife. I am not sure where ya'll learned Bushcraft from, I read and tried to learn Bushcraft from, George Sears [Nessmuk], Kepart and Elmer Kreps. They all taught using a thinner knife, along with a Tomahawk or axe. I have never heard one of the old timers mention using a knife for batoning. I am just trying to get more info on this subject and in no way putting this style down. Thanks

Speaking of Mosquitos, has anyone tried this? You take an unused "Cling Free" or what ever they call those things that go into your dryer, and put it under your hat, for the day. It's supposed to keep those pest away. Please let me know if ya'll have tried it.

Yay!! It's Spring!! Time to get ready for Mosquito invasions. ;-) Here's an easy & pleasant repellent recipe you can make at home: 

Combine in a 16 oz bottle:
15 drops lavender oil
3-4 Tbsp of vanilla extract
1/4 Cup lemon juice. 
Fill bottle with water. 
Shake.

Ready to use. Make some extra to gift to your neighbors, family & friends. (Trust me.. it'll be appreciated!)

Wow Miss Jan, I'll have to look into this idea.

Is anyone doing or considering this?

What Is Aquaponics?

Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics. In aquaponics, you grow fish and plants together in one integrated, soilless system. The fish waste provides a food source for the plants and the plants provide a natural filter for the water the fish live in. Aquaponics produces safe, fresh, organic fish and vegetables. When aquaponics is combined with a controlled environment greenhouse, premium quality crops can be grown on a year-round basis, anywhere in the world. Aquaponics can be used to sustainably raise fresh fish and vegetables for a family, to feed a village or to generate a profit in a commercial farming venture.

This is Mohammed Bah Abba's Pot-in-pot invention. In northern Nigeria, where Mohammed is from, over 90% of the villages have no electricity. His invention, which he won a Rolex Award for (and $100,000), is a refrigerator than runs without electricity.

Here's how it works. You take a smaller pot and put it inside a larger pot. Fill the space in between them with wet sand, and cover the top with a wet cloth. When the water evaporates, it pulls the heat out with it, making the inside cold. It's a natural, cheap, easy-to-make refrigerator.

 

So, instead of perishable foods rotting after only three days, they can last up to three weeks. Obviously, this has the potential to change their lives
