Communities of Rewilding / Land Folks in California
« on: October 04, 2008, 11:54:27 PM »
We are going to be traveling from our home in WA state to the Bay are in California.  Anyone know of "land projects" that we should/could visit along the way?  We are always up for skillsharing or just chatting about living this way.  Hope to connect with some new folks. 

Also, if there is anyone working on hunting and trapping skills it would be nice to share experiences.

Flora Food & Medicine / Salt

Not sure which forum would be the right one for this question but...

We have been toying with idea of getting our salt from the local bay and were wondering if anyone out there has ever desalinated sea water to get their salt.  How much salt do you get from five gallons of water?  Any tips?  This seems pretty simple but it seemed worth asking.

Fauna Food / Preserving meat w/o refrigeration
« on: October 13, 2007, 10:45:26 PM »
We get a fair bit of meat each year from hunting and roadkill.  We have pressure canned, frozen (at a friends house), and made jerky.  Canning destroys lots of nutrients, freezing requires electricity which we don't have, and jerky is wonderful but is often too salty and seems more like a snack sometimes. 

Does anyone know how to preserve meat without a refrigerator or too much salt?  We have smoked lots of meat and sun dried it but always in very thin strips.  We are hoping to learn how to cure large cuts. 

Thanks.
