Survival devices when there is no electricity.

[DrHenley]

No offense intended, but seems like you are a better carpenter than a political scientist or environmentalist.

There are constructive ways of improving the environment. Personally, deforestation makes me sick, but there is this principal called "property rights" that I happen to believe in.

The land I own never got cleared completely like everything else around, and now we have replanted trees on what was cleared with a mix of trees to avoid creating a monoculture. We have created new wetlands and worked with state and federal government programs to create habitat for geese and pheasants (which we never hunted BTW) and we are now working on a butterfly habitat program. We work with state biologists to actively manage the land for the benefit of the wildlife.

How about you?

 

[jontte]

the big thing here this summer has been "bug hotels" people build on their backyards and place into woods, doing what they can for those that pollinate our food.

and I have to add,glad those small critters don'r scare me like they didi when I was a kid, spiders were my acchileus heel..

Oh, I forgot to mention...

Because of the latest habitat program we did with the state, we were able to jump through all the hoops to become certified to sell carbon credits.

So that tree you see below my post that says "Certified Carbon Negative"? That is not a joke. The carbon sequestration ability of the trees we planted is literally certified, and we do sell carbon credits.

You support Marxist’s?

No, do you?

You are doing great work, Doc, to be commended. Certified Carbon Negative is a seriously big deal. Many 'eco resorts" think if they put up some solar panels they are "protecting the environment". But then at night they run diesel generators to keep their guests cool. You have more in common with Edward Abbey and the Earth Firsters than you realize.

On our coastal property, we have 3 houses and a boat dock, lotsa forest, creeks, wetland and open savanna. And limestone caverns. All our power & water comes from the sky. Jaguars occasionally eat our watchdogs (they like puppies best). But the jaguars were here first so we leave them alone and keep our dogs on the porches at night. Howler monkeys call, parrots flock. Blue Morpho butterflies. Tapir and otters. Bad snakes. Tree frogs.

Yes, property rights are important. We all are free to do what we want with our land. It is our choice to cut trees or not. Plant orchards and gardens, or not. On our land we choose to leave the forest intact along with the creatures in it. But we have added fruit orchards, gardens, and 250 teak trees.

Our neighbor is clear cutting his mature hardwood hills. When his crew recently "strayed" onto our land with their chainsaws and D6, we had an armed confrontation. Sometimes, that is what it takes. Now they avoid our boundaries. We won't monkey wrench their equipment unless they stray again.

In the late 1800s the British logged this coastal area heavily. The forest has grown back. All 5 of Central America's big cat species live here in harmony with their ecosystem. As you know, when an ecosystem can support its large predators, then it is healthy. It is my goal that, when I am done here, the offspring of those jaguars and ocelots are still eating the offspring of our watchdogs. I'll stay on the porch.

Because I have 4 little granddaughters who love their Nana's tractor. Hard to tell but there are also big purple flowers with yellow centers. My husband has his own tractor so mine is only for us girls.

First of all, I must apologize to the Lady when I said "Sir" ...
I will give you all the flowers that grow on my land.
my mother loves to grow peonies, then we cut them and bring them into the house.

------

sorry i'm not photogenic.
In real life, I look better, but when I'm on camera, I look bad

I like your tractor, and I also like that the tractor is driven by a Lady.

I like women who are not afraid to ruin their hands with diesel fuel, as well as heavy tools

 

[Dani]

The flowers you have growing are beautiful. Apology accepted but you never hurt my feelings. My skin is a little tougher than that.

 

[Gennadievich]

I'm wonder
if forum users know what it is?

Hint..

Looks like a glass cutter

Марксизм умер в 1870 году.
В СССР был марксизм-ленинизм, превративший аргарскую страну «Российскую Империю» в Великую державу СССР.

a tool to straighten the teeth of a saw?

 

[Gennadievich]

really in America there are no such tools for dressing a hand saw?
-----
1. the saw must be sharpened.
2. the saw must be "set" each saw tooth must be bent in a different direction, otherwise the saw will "clamp" ...
------
this tool to bend the saw teeth.

here is my old glass cutter


and here are some of my hand saws, which I sharpen and "expand their teeth" by manual

 

[Gennadievich]

not for straightening !!!
on the contrary .. for extension.
------
any saw must have slightly bent teeth, otherwise it will not cut.
don't you know that?

What is the wheel for?

 

[Gennadievich]

What is the wheel for?

is this forum made for Survival?
I have not confused anything?
maybe American guys don't know basic survival questions?

 

[DrHenley]

Why do you have so much hostility?
It was a simple question. What is the wheel for?
It looks like a glass cutter wheel, which is why I said glass cutter.
Почему у вас так много враждебности?
Это был простой вопрос. Для чего колесо?
Это похоже на стеклорезающее колесо, вот почему я сказал стеклорез.

1. no need to translate into Russian, because there is a google translator.
2. Don't talk about "aggression" and threats, because you don't know this topic and are trying to justify yourself.
3. My photo is a saw-dressing tool, but not glass.
Booo..
you do not know the topic about sharpening and dressing a saw trying to throw your shame on me
Booo..

the wheel needs to bend the saw teeth for an angle ... ... but you don't know this tool. why do you need a wheel?

 

[jontte]

that tool is new for me,hey as a city-boy,I have a lot to learn,but was on the right track anyway..
so with that you do each saw tooth one by one?

Wait... the basics of survival require how to hand sharpen a saw?

you do come off as arrogant, I’m guessing it’s a culture thing, but when you share something and someone asks you what something is you don’t call them stupid for not knowing.

that’s not a learning environment, that’s an abusive one.

besides any moron knows the basics of survival requires a flat file and a chainsaw.

know the topic, then let's discuss. don't know then don't talk
there is no information in your message, but only an attempt to create a scandal.

I was amused how you will sharpen the chainsaw chain with a file.
I haven't done this for 30 years.
Now we have a machine that costs about $ 40.
Tell us how you sharpen the cutting edge and back incisor ..

I was especially amused that the Survivor has a chainsaw and a flat file.
In this case, the survivor has
- hand saw and triangle file
- or a chainsaw and a chain sharpener
- or a chainsaw and a set of flat and round needle files

[Gennadievich]

Деревенщина.


in Russia there are many videos like killing a chain on a saw.
There is also a video on how to expel condensate from a gas cylinder so that it does not explode. There is also a video on how to saw with a grinder without a protective cover.

such videos are published in the "Crazy Russians" section..

no, this is the dream of any Russian - to buy a house in Finland near the lake.

I also have a wooden house made of logs. I am a carpenter and built myself. Chopped and assembled with other carpenters But it is not completed and there is no lake. The plot is very small
Dacha.

in the photo, the walls look like curves, but they are not. camera focus is incorrect. in fact, all walls are smooth

 

[Gracieboo]

Changing the subject slightly. This is not currently in use but we’ve had the chimney swept and smoke tested. Not entirely sure if all the bits are with it but should work.

Jim, I can't tell if you're serious or not with your questions. Go back in history to see how people stored meat, fish, etc before the advent of modern appliances. Indians used to dry meat, fish, make pemmican etc. What, we didn't start to slaughter animals waiting for someone to invent a freezer?
