Title: Something local
Post by: bjrogg on April 18, 2022, 10:14:28 am
I don’t find much of this stuff but when I do it’s pretty special. I look on the windmill access roads and where the country put riff raff.

This is the really good stuff. It’s dark black and sometimes has a little White swirling in it. I need to find some of this at the quarry before it goes through the crusher.

Yeah Buckskinner I would really like to get there right after they blast and look around. Would be nice to find a big piece of it.

After it goes through the crusher even if it’s big enough It usually is so fractured it’s hard to get anything from them.

BJ i'm following your primitive journey pretty much from the beginning
you developed great skills and now you also have the rocks
you're going to do the big slam killing your venison with tools made by you from your own collected stuff   :OK
... and if it will take some more time I'm sure you'll enjoy every day in the meantime

Thank You GlisGlis.

That is probably the nicest thing I’ve ever been told.

I think I’ve been working at this pretty diligently since the summer of 2015. It’s been a fascinating journey.

I think. Good Lord willing your right. I put that as my goal almost from the beginning.
