This is the homemade “Bresaola” that I made several weeks ago. You can find the recipe here. While this is certainly not comparable to the north italian original, it is still very delicious and – hey! – it’s self-made!
Curing Fish (Trout, “Lox”, etc.)

So when we set up our new awning lately, I recalled the simple line-tensioners we made back in the days when we went camping with the boyscout group. They’re easy to make, simple to set up and cost next to nothing. Here’s how they work:

Prepping: First Aid
In succession to my recent post on reasonable prepping, here’s what I packed in my Utter Darknesss First Aid Kit. Additionally I have (and you should, too) a perfectly averagely stocked medicine chest for everyday use. Make sure you rotate the contained drugs on a regular basis in order to avoid spoiled medicaments!
