Provo Pioneer Crafting Fair

<a href="/images/uploads/2011/06/IMG_6523.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3762" title="IMG_6523" src="/images/uploads/2011/06/IMG_6523-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>Looking for a chance to get the family out into our delayed summer? Provo has a great event this weekend at their pioneer village (<a title="Provo Pioneer Village" href="http://goo.gl/maps/35YC" target="_blank">map</a>). It's a great chance to get demonstrations on some old skills such as spinning, blacksmithing and more. Bring the family even if only just to get a feel for the local history, but even better, hang around and talk shop with people experienced in their crafts. This is probably one of the better local opportunities to get together with people that can teach these crafts.

Making Tallow Candles

<a href="/images/uploads/2011/01/TallowCandle.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3342" title="TallowCandle" src="/images/uploads/2011/01/TallowCandle-300x252.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="252" /></a>One of the things that frustrates me in Preparedness is that many of the texts and resources out there don't adequately cover "Pioneer Skills". That is to say, they present material lists and instructions that include things that are only available via modern-day manufacturing methods. Often times what I'm looking for is how do I make something out of nothing - nothing being the great abundance that nature provides us with! This is very true when it comes to activities like candle, cheese and soap making. I want to know how to do it in a true collapse or long term survival scenario.

Learning From the Pioneers

<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1319 scissors-resample" title="1844_1877_1" src="/images/uploads/2009/02/1844_1877_1.jpg" alt="1844_1877_1" width="304" height="211" />Many know that Utah was originally settled by Mormon Pioneers, I'm a descendant of those pioneers from 8 different family lines on my Mother's side. The Mormon Pioneers crossed the plains from Missouri to Utah in covered wagons, handcarts and many on foot. Most of them buried family and loved ones under a pile of rocks on their way here. It was a harrowing experience the like of which will hopefully never be repeated.
