Skills practice slideshow!



The latest pictures of my attempts at making arrowheads, string from bark, and a little fishing with my children. The "Finished" arrowheads are actually a knife blade and an arrowhead, both made of glass. Tanner helped me make cordage (ropes, lines, and string) out of the inner bark of an old tree, and helped eat the berries out of my birchbark and leaf container. The picture of us fishing with Emma is from the "Weekend Wonders" post weekend.

Hey Joel, I found this link which I thought you might enjoy.

Joel, you SERIOUSLY need to get on Survivor. Every time Sonny and I watch "Man vs. Wild" we think of you. You should have your own spin off called "Wild Man". Slap on that fur suit and just go for it! Let's have Kal film a pilot while we're out there this summer. Seriously. I love you man! You're the best!

Seeing as how you added the first link I gave you, I figured I'd add a few more for fun:

The Richard Proenneke link is probably my favorite. I've always loved his documentary. That guy rocked.

I am always amazed at what you know and love it when you share it with us all. I still say when the holocust comes, I'm sticking with you. Mom

Post some more, Joel! Teach us something! Do you know anything about natural remedies? Sonny got attacked by wasps while mowing the lawn. Actually, I don't care what you write about, just post something brother! You've got fans waiting here. :)
