I am joined by my brother Kevin from Modern Self Reliance to eat some fresh tree bacon harvested fresh from his pine forest. I also set up and test my massive Russian Bear Tent: TENT LINKS 1. Tent - Cuboid 4. 40: 2. Stove - Caminus S: 3. Floor 3-Layer Insulated: : ABOUT TREE BARK Cambium contains about 1000-1200 calories per kilogram. As well as being fried, it can also be dried and pounded into a flour or added to stew or soups. Traditional diets of Indigenous peoples of Canada show that they ate about 35 species of plants with inner bark, cambium and sap. The most common are in the Pine Family including True Firs balsam fir, or Canada balsam, grand fir fir, and Pacific silver fir. Other include Slippery Elm, Black Birch, Yellow Birch, Red Spruce, Black Spruce, Balsam Fir and Tamarack. Of all the contenders, Pine seems to be the genus of choice. The most important food derived from lodgepole pine, however, was the inner bark, including cambium and secondary phloem tissues, which was an almost universal food of the Interior peoples of British Columbia. The edible tissue is said to be at its prime for harvesting only for a very limited time in spring, the exact interval being determined by elevation and local weather conditions. It was and is usually obtained in late May or early June, when the sap is running and the cambium and surrounding tissues are thick and juicy. This is about the time when the new needles are expanding and the pollen cones in full production. Sometimes local testing is required to determine whether the harvesting time is right. For harvesting, the bark is removed and the ripe cambium tissues scraped off the exposed wood in long, fleshy ribbons 2-3 cm (about 1 in) wide and up to 60 cm (2 ft) or more long. Special prying implements were used to remove the bark and scrapers, traditionally made of caribou antler, deer ulna or rib, or shoulder blade of deer or bear, were used to harvest the edible tissue. More recently, a sharp knife, or a tool cut from the curved side of a tin can, has been used as a scraper. A basket or container placed at the bottom of the tree is often used to catch the edible ribbons, or pine noodles as they fall. Sometimes, if it were later in the season, the edible portion is scraped from the inside of the bark after it had been removed. Usually only a rectangular portion of the bark 1 to 2 m (about 3 to 6 ft) from the ground is removed, and the tree will continue to grow, the scar gradually growing over. The edible tissue was usually eaten fresh, as it was gathered, or shortly afterwards. When freshly harvested, it is sweet, juicy, and somewhat resinous, but when left it is said to discolor quickly and go sour. Sometimes, however, it was dried for winter, when it would be soaked in water before use. Some people like to add sugar to this food, making it even sweeter

I think a worm bin/farm would be a good video idea. You could use Kevins DIY skills and then use the worms for bait or to feed your trout; they multiply quick. The worm castings are also some of the best natural fertilizers you can get if you decide to start a garden at the compound.

the irony, of social politics killing society, men have forgotten their roles and so have women, old days men build houses and hunted, and women cooked etc, in the name of equality where any one can do anything no one knows ANYTHING! -
