WTF? MFWIC? SNAFU? FUBAR!
YGBSM! DILLIGAF? I think NOT!
(standing by to be boarded :-)

(If anyone has to ask - don’t)

Meanwhile, back to the blog.
I plan to teach my Girl Scouts how to make oil lamps and wet tinder starters!

For years, I have been saving the lint from my dryer. Seriously!
I have a wad of it about as big as a basketball.

I also have about twenty egg cartons (minus the eggs, which I et!)

Now all I need is about 2 lbs of canning wax to make more fire-starters than U can count.

How can you do that and not teach them how to id ore deposits and how to work a mine and a refinery, to make the brass that makes the oil lamps, or how to build a whaling ship and sail it, and hunt a whale and render its oil?

You don’t have to know how to make chlorine bleach. Hobbies are fine. Extreme prep may be okay as a weird hobby, but otherwise it’s unreal and wasteful.
