Yeah? YEAH!!!??? Well. . . Pork tastes good! Especially when it is cooked properly on a grill. Only problem is that it isn't traced to ANY benificial effects in the body that I know of. Not everything has to be good for the body, there is the soul too. I'm with Eric, pork is good, to coin a phase, ...

DON'T LIKE PORK??? Oh, I'm wounded! :lol: I wish I didn't like it as well as I do. Spend some time on a pig farm or in a slaughterhouse - that may temper your appetite... Or improve it: Ahhhhh blood sausage! But don't make it with garlic.........................garlic is a natural blood thinner!

Found a oven drying recipe for jerky: 140 degrees for 6-8 hours with the door cracked open.

Place the meat on a wire grill and put a cookie sheet or aluminum foil under it to catch any dropping.

Let us know how it comes out, regardless of how you prep it.

I believe you can do it in a regular oven with the door cracked open a bit. I'll have to look it up as I'm unsure of what temperature to set the oven at.

You have got to jerk some of the meat. Even better than deer jerky is buffalo jerky.

Not getting too far too fast! I cut out and starting sewing up the leather sleeveless coat. I havn't decided on the type of buttons yet. I'm thinking either antler or wood buttons with a pewter wolves' head belt mount on each button. I'm going to start on a scabbard for a SFI forumite who recently r...

Try a lemon! A lttle lemon oil mixed with the dishsoap and water makes a great degreaser. It's also safe of your hands for cleanup. I was wondering about the ribbing on the underside. If it's all equidistant horizontal ribs you might want to trim some of the inner ribs down to allow greater flexibil...

If you do decide on bone, wear a mask and grind/sand it no wheres near the house, unless you like sleeping on the couch. It smells horrible!!

Figured I'd jump this up a bit. Thought that if we decided to meet up now is the time to at least start looking for sites and time frames. I'm going to make some inqueries regarding upstate NY. Anyone else want to take a stab at their state or known environs ? I suppose the next thing after a site a...

Chris and I will take all but one sword. We want you to go out in style, a Viking funeral ship launched into the Long Island Sound with shield, sword and that big old horned helmet.

Fare thee well !



Talk to you soon

Sounds good, could you also get me a tracing behind the saddle to ensure the part between the bags fit.

When you're set just pm me and I'll send you my address for the tracing.

Thanks, Pete

Hi Everyone: I know many of you ride but few of us have horses, what I'm interested in is the shape and size for the cutout of saddlebags behind a saddle. I know there are different size saddles but I'm looking for something fairly standard. I'm planning on making a set of saddlebags that in the eve...

I like your Dwarven bowie, nice no frills and very utilitarian, Not really keen on the octaganal handle, maybe a coffin grip.

Regarding the environs around West Point and the Hudson Valley, yes in some respects very Tolkienesque. I presume you got your info from David when he stayed at the Point, last year. Not exactly what most people picture when they think of an area 50 miles away from New York City, but we have many fo...

Eric: Sorry to hear about the arm. Glad to hear about the meds ! (Just Kidding!) I believe part of your suggestions were discussed either here or on meranger, basically the group takes turns with specific jobs ie;cooking, foraging, fire prep and starting all are rotating jobs so everyone gets a chan...
