Traditionals and Cast Iron Cookware

[Reaper AL]

I was in Austin, MN once and visited the SPAM museum. Interesting displays, an original letter from General Eisenhower, etc. but this display was special. There was a Smithey wok there that I would have loved to take home, but it would have interfered with my knife budget. I came across this display in a shop in Billings, Montana. I got the hell out of there as quick as I could, before I did something rash.

you are absolutely right but I would have failed. I have self control but I would have caved in that large oval Dutch oven would have been coming home with me

Pork chops in the smithey brought the grand daddy Barlow along

It's time for more random self sufficiency exercises... We got 2 hogs back from the butcher last week and it's lard this go.

...and whilst I wait, I've been working to bring this camillus stockman up to workable condition. I found it languishing in a bin of random knives at the gun show I went to last week in South Carolina.

Stag? Bone or the fake stag that uncle Henry used to be so fond of? Staglon?

It's the staglon unfortunately, but I couldn't let it stay where it was. In all honesty I don't think the blades were ever sharpened. It's allegedly a factory second, there's a small gap in one of the liners, but the price was right.

Still a really nice little work knife. Good find.

Very nice find

Very nice find

Thank you, I was very pleased... It was in one of my favorite places to look at shows like that. An old Tupperware container filled with old knives.

[Old Hunter]

CelloDan you sure cook a good looking plateful! Some food cooked here over the last few days; pancakes, and ham and eggs (skillet shown warming). My EDC for the today, an ALOX SAK. OH

Get the glycol...

 

[cudgee]

Get the glycol...

.Very clever. Have a good one.

 

[CelloDan]

Get the glycol...

Yerba Mate takes care of that

 

[Wild Willie]

Yerba Mate takes care of that

We always used propelyne glycol with some weird gritty stuff on the dairy farms I worked on in my pupal years to treat the girls that had it. I'd never even thought of people getting it, much less wanting to, until the diet got big.

I'll have to enlighten myself as to what yerba is other than a tea of some sort.



Edited to add: Just did some quick Google-fu, I'm adding one more thing to my need to try list...

Edited again to add: I've never consumed any beverage out of a gourd. This especially is a big draw for me.
