Has anyone used dry cat food called “Taste of the Wild” ?

Posted on July 28, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

This was recommended at PetSmart because people have raved about it. My cats love it. It’s a grain free food.

Formula with roasted Venison, smoked Salmon, also peas, sweet potatoes, fruits, ocean fish meal, chicken fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols, and many more ingredients and vitiamins. Taurine is 0.15% mimimun.

Next question for your answers: My one cat is only a meat eater since 4 months old when I got him from the shelter. I mix the dry food, I just mentioned above, with good canned food and he eats it.

Question: He still loves cooked chicken livers 3 times a week,
He also loves cooked turkey and chicken–he gobbles it up. He is not fat, but has always loved this kind of food.

He will sit in front of the refrigerator until he has his chicken or livers. He has to have it.

Is this okay in moderation?

Any comments on either or both comments.

Good survivalist knife for under $100?

Posted on July 17, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

I’m not a survivalist, but often use knives in my artwork/woodwork and I like knives, and I like Man vs. Wild too – muahaha
I googled around and found the one/s Bear Grylls use are maybe in the $500s of dollars range yikes

but there must be some others cheaper, quality

I assume carbon fiber is more $ but I would like to get one at some point
and
is there a technical word for a knife collector? (ex: philatelist : stamps)

Bread. Cheese. Wine. Beer. Coffee. Chocolate. Most people consume fermented foods and drinks every day. For thousands of years, humans have enjoyed the distinctive flavors and nutrition resulting from the transformative power of microscopic bacteria and fungi. Wild Fermentation: The Flavor, Nutrition, and Craft of Live-Culture Foods is the first cookbook to widely explore the culinary magic of fermentation.”Fermentation has been an important journey of discovery for me,” writes author Sandor Ellix Katz. “I invite you to join me along this effervescent path, well trodden for thousands of years yet largely forgotten in our time and place, bypassed by the superhighway of industrial food production.” The flavours of fermentation are compelling and complex, quite literally alive. This book takes readers on a whirlwind trip through the wide world of fermentation, providing readers with basic and delicious recipes-some familiar, others exotic-that are easy to make at home.

In The Wild: What about diseases?

Posted on January 7, 2011 by admin| 2 Comments

So, I’ve recently been thinking a bit about those tribes of people who you often see living in the wilderness of say, Africa, or in some rain forest secluded from civilization. Do they get diseases? Are they often life-threatening? Have the people grown a tolerance to the diseases, like animals, I guess? If I were to go there and live with them, would the symptoms of a disease specific to that general area be more severe in the case of my catching one? If they were to come here and catch a common cold, would the symptoms be life-threatening for them?

What about those people who wish to live in the wilderness, given they have the survival skills required so that they can live? How would they be able to avoid diseases? Would they just develop a tolerance to any disease around there? Is that possible? Do you think they could survive? I know there are TV shows about living in the wilderness. I haven’t watched many, yet, though and I probably should to get more of a feel for it. Maybe I should go camping.

I’ve always wanted to kind of escape society. The African Wilderness has always attracted me, or the wilderness in general. I really like the idea of a very natural life. I think we, in this society, are overly materialistic and so out of touch with our selves as humans; as animals. I just want to experience it, you know? But there are so many things that really prevent us from doing it. Like diseases. We’d probably die if we got one out there, right?

Maybe I should be one of those African Safari people who study the biodiversity/ecosystem of the wilderness and stuff, so I can get in touch with nature. God, I don’t know what I want to do.

But yeah, back to the question. What about diseases?
