The Old Folks Home

Before going out hunting, get wet in the shower, lather up with Fels Naptha, or Octagon soap. Don't rinse, just let the lather dry. Go hunting. When you get back home, shower as usual. It's a great alternative to daily applications of pesticides, and has enough glycerine to keep it from being too harsh, and drying on skin.

I love Fels Naptha. We have tons of bars here because when I find it we buy it out. It works great to remove oil from poison ivy (both on skin and in the washing machine) plus gets skunk odor out (again, both on skin and in the washing machine).
 
We used to use Fels Naptha for lots of things when I was in Girl Scouts. When camping, we would lather, and let it dry on us. No mosquitoes, no chiggers, no fleas, no ticks. Lather it in your hands, and rub it on the OUTSIDE bottom of the cooking pots just before you use them over the fire. The soap burns, but it rinses right off, so clean up is easy. We would also pull twine across a dry bar of it. It made lashing the twine much easier.
 
I've got a pumpkin baking in the oven, soon to be pureed and frozen for later pie.

How much do you make/freeze, Ron? In what increments?

I ended up doing one large pumpkin that BF bought and then the smaller rouge vif d'etampes pumpkin that went MIA and then returned. I didn't want it leaving, again, so I'm putting it where I can keep an eye on it (freezer). I usually freeze in 2 to 3 cup increments.

I buy sweet pie pumpkins. They usually have enough in each pumpkin to make two pies. They are pumpkins for pumpkin pies.

Our local grocery outlet carries them each October.
 
Finished with the ramp for my chicken coop. I got it installed. Of course the chickens acted like I had installed a monster in their coop. Not going near that thing. I finally grabbed the rooster, put him on it about half way up, and he finished walking up. Then I put him at the top of it and shooed him down. He wasn't sure about walking down it at first, but when he got to the bottom, he was pleased with himself. They'll get used to it.
