    Tarp plus space blanket? anyone tried it?

    The one I used was the full sized Space Blanket. I think they call it the Sportsman's Blanket but can't recall for sure. It comes with grommets. Ok, I found one still in the box. It's called the All Weather Blanket and it is the original Space Brand.

    Tarp plus space blanket? anyone tried it?

    That particular space blanket was pitched at that spot for the entire summer, not far from my regular campsite in the Nicolet National forest in Wisconsin. so I visited it often and spent three or four nights under it over the summer. It rode out quite a few nasty storms that summer and never...

    Tarp plus space blanket? anyone tried it?

    I have used the space blanket as the tarp and it works well for reflecting heat. I don't see why it would not work well with a larger tarp for the same purpose.

    The Amish as a source

    I'd also bet that most cults don't make apple pie and ice cream as well as the Amish.

    The Amish as a source

    What really surprises me is how political this thread is. :confused: I've lived around Amish all my life and I've never seen so much political talk about the Amish as in this thread. The last political issue I recall with the Amish was when a certain sect of Amish refused to put slow moving...

    The Amish as a source

    The Amish farm pretty much the way my grandparents did and my dad and uncle, when they were kids. Horses did all the work, although as I said earlier, some use tractors. They spread manure on their fields for fertilizer and sow wheat and oats the same way I did it when I was a kid, walking the...

    Some Amish have ice houses. They run a gas driven mill for cutting lumber, and save the sawdust to cover the ice. The ice is cut from a lake in winter. The ice house covers a pit where the ice is placed and covered with the sawdust. The ice stays frozen nearly year round.

    Grew up around a lot of Amish in Indiana. There is a lot of variation from community to community. Some farm with tractors, albeit with steel wheels. I've been in their homes, ate their food, hunted their lands, rode their sleighs in the winter behind a team of horses, drank with them in bars...

    I may have misread your post earlier. I thought you said you got it from sargey. I know one I had made a trip to Oregon and then to the UK. :) I've had three. Still have one left in the box, unopened. :)
