Great for a quick fix. I just wanted to share something I learned.

I am keeping this on hand as a backup.

Woops I guess it was the CDC.

The ones I used really made a difference. I just bought the entry level ones. They will not break the bank, but really helped my back and knees.

It is a nice addition to my back pack. It’s very light Fiberglass construction and a Lightweight aluminum reel ( thought it was plastic but its just powder coated)

I think this will be effective when I’m trying to work in the wind. Just take a charcoal briquettes the size you want and strike it, Then you have a lot of time to get wet or damp tinder to ignite.
You could make this waterproof by wax dipping it but I have not tried it “YET”.

So I kept forgetting to bring my glasses to the studio.  I still have lots of things to do. Well putting a hole in a cheap measurement is the way to go for quick measurements.

This is casein glue like the white glue we all use in school ( kind of)

1. Add vinegar to lukewarm skimmed milk so it curdles.
2. Drain the liquid component off from the solids.
3. Put solids onto a strainer to drain off excess liquid
4. In a bowl, add a base (such as sodium bicarbonate, ammonia or washing soda) to the curds, bit by bit, until they change into a creamy mixture. You now have casein glue.
Note that what you have at step 2 is low fat cottage cheese, so this can be used instead, skipping step 1.

This preparation lacks the antimicrobial present in commercial glue, so will spoil in storage. It may be frozen in ice cube trays for later use, or made when wanted.

This is news to me, I did not know you could still buy it over the counter.
I will be carrying some when every i’m out doors in my First Aid kit.

Tarp-Tying Tips

If you have a tarp or space blanket, using rocks in the corners to tie into knots will make a much more stable shelter than will just weighing down the corners.
