Guest guest Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Phooey! I made some mistakes...wish I could edit it! I added something on using a folding silver car window screen as a solar oven. Hope you can get the idea even with mistakes and so basic. I didn't say that the bag with contents is placed AT the bottom of the funnel you make with the screen. Doh! Oh well... Valarie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I really like this idea - for those of us who are city folks it will help with the learning - thank you and please take some time and share your skills - I am not sure I have any survival skills to share always felt that if I had to my self would conjure up alot of info that could be used - I mean I am a basket weaver, have done leather work, macrame, have carved wood , worked with clay , hand sewing crafts, and with my reading of many books i have a good understanding of things - all of which i feel would be useful, but to call them survival skills - well - not sure ...and my biggest skill - i love physics and can usually figure things out - now if i can figure out how to keep bugs off me and from biting - any suggestions on a natural bug repellent other than mud - thanks e , " chrism " <> wrote: > > Here is a new database where we can store and organize specific > survival techniques and wisdoms.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 I meant to reply to this post. Eating garlic helps keep them away from you. Also, do not eat bananas during mosquitoe season. For some reason they love it when people eat bananas. The only other thing I know is to stay moving and keep your arms moving around youself a lot. LOL!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 not necessarily mixed together; haven't tried the sss. i think paula has the right idea with the b1. there is a similar smell with the brewers yeast and b1. i am not bitten. when i go out; i don't wear any type of fragrance. i think they are attracted to smells, either internal or external.....growing up in louisiana you learn alot about bugs...........have to, and fire ants, and poison ivy and snakes........to name a few Julie--- On Sat, 8/23/08, Brandi Jasmine <jazztalk wrote: Brandi Jasmine <jazztalkRe: Re: Survival Guides Date: Saturday, August 23, 2008, 1:06 AM At 06:24 PM 8/22/2008, you wrote: Brewer's yeast, avon's skin-so-softMixed together? <g> SSS doesn't work for me either.Brandi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 ants hate chilli! if its nest is in your areas, chilli makes them run, a weird thing i've noticed about ants, one day in the year the female ones with wings all, come out im a swarm up in a spiral and leave! wonder what earth force is guiding them, and what their up to.. on the list many of you are observing flies , i watch ants! the ivy, eat a piece of the young fresh leave in spring , but only spring!!! and you will be safe from it all season.. we dont have snakes... paula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm ... is there a lot of B1 in brewer's yeast I wonder? I have this nifty little DIY pill-maker kit that I use to make my own capsules so I know how I could get it in me <g> ... provided my tummy can take it. It's worth a shot though.
