The upside of shopping at Costco is bulk savings. The down side? I still haven’t found one…except for the danger of dropping 200 pound shampoo, soap, and conditioner bottles on your toes while showering. The only other downside of shopping at Costco is limited to those who are forced to shop at the location in […]

How to Properly Sharpen Your Axe

Share

Growing up in the city in Southern California, if we wanted to buy firewood for a bonfire on the beach or to burn in my aunt’s fireplace, we’d go to the store and buy. None of this “chop my own wood” business. The first time I hefted an axe and tried my hand at cityslicker […]

I confess. This post is about more than a simple no-bake Oreo recipe. Why am I posting this? Glad you asked. Kasey made a THIRTY minute YouTube video on this recipe. Thirty. Minutes.

BUT, I strongly recommend that you research the wood you’ll be using for this build. Chemical treatments to the wood will […]

3 Dutch Oven Masterpieces

Share

With fall here, I can’t help but think of camping and the majesty of the Great Outdoors! Being from Southern California, I miss being able to escape to the mountains and doing a day-hike 45-minutes from home, or spending the weekend enjoying primitive camping with dutch-oven meals and stories of youthful mischief. In celebration of […]

Toothpaste was Made for This?

Share

I’m always looking for tips & tricks to cut corners…especially when it comes to using a “toothpaste” for something other that what it’s sold as. I’ve got a foggy headlight situation on my truck. I’m going to give this a shot.
