bears don'r hibernate down here Gator? They do that up North where it gets cold and there's nothing to eat. I was chasing a bear out of my garbage on the coldest day we had this winter.

 

Sweet..I guess someone will be eat'n rib's tonight...!!!

 

It was pretty hot work today and I've gotten what I think is a heat rash. I'm not sure if it's from the bear or the perspiration but it sure is uncomfortable so late this afternoon, I went in search of some mallow, some people call it common mallow. The leaves have a mucilaginous quality and are pretty gooey. When applied externally, it soothes the skin. It's somewhat like aloe and I'm feeling better already. It can also be made into a tea and used to ease constipation and mild digestive distress so I'm glad I found a supply.

My goodness, does that bear stink. I've been trying to think of everything of all the uses for the bear fat in addition to cooking. So far, my list is:

1. to condition and waterproof and treat leathers
2. oiling down my gun and other mechanical parts in emergencies
3. a skin ointment for minor burns, chapped or dry skin.
4. it has even been used to prevent head lice by working it into the hair because the nits can't stick to it for long term, hardcore, survival situations
5. you can use it to make small dish candles - put it in a tuna can, roll up some cloth strips and make you a little wick, light it and it'll burn just like a little oil lantern will.
6. mixed with good medicinal herbs, it can be applied to treats insect bites, cuts, scrapes and other injuries.
7. makes a good fire starter if it's raining
8. use it to make soap
9. use it as a barter item if I ever need that

With the bear, my new pet, the improvements to my shelter, and the items I managed to scavenge yesterday, things are starting to look up.

 

I have never heard of Mallow? What is it? Where does it grow.

 

First, Mr. Cowboy, I am having a hard time believing that there is something you do not know and are asking me, of all people. It is so kind of you to make me feel "adequate."

This is a picture of the small white flower and the leaves:



It can be a nuisance plant but it can be very useful as well. It can be found across the entire North American continent but is often killed with herbicides so you may have to look carefully to find a supply.

Mr Grits, you are a fortunate man to have your own supply. Treasure it and it will reward you when it is called upon.

 

I think theres already a Law Firm doing that ....

They specialisze in .......... well you figure it out.

 

Mallow is really considered an invasive in the US. You can also use young leaves, flowers and buds in salads. It is part of a plant family that is almost always useful. Such as jute, hibiscus, cacao. What we see around here is low growing with purple flowers.

 

Marshmallow....it's good for carpets too!

Oh, and by the way, Frank....the carpets in the Bat Cave offices of Frank Lee Ticious and Chelloveck can be effectively cleaned with Marshmallow....the plant, not the confection.

What wonderful news. I wonder if I could use it in my current accommodations? I will do some testing and let you know.

 

Mr. Coyboy, I did have another question for you. I noticed last week that you and Ms RightHand were discussing the benefits of some magic beans. What exactly are those? I have heard of magic mushrooms, not that I suspect you would have any familiarity with those, but never magic beans. Is that something that might be useful to me and how can I locate some?

 

A witch-hazel poultice may be comforting but.....

A witch-hazel poultice may be comforting but.....not a thing of beauty for
ever.

Sitting on a witch-hazel poultice in close contact with one's cloacca is not a mental image that many people would feel at all comfortable with : O

 

I could tell about those magic beans, Frank; but I'd have to hunt you down and kill you.

 

So how was dinner, Frank? Bear burgers with greens? do any starch yet from the cattails?

 

I took the tenderloin, it was maybe eight to ten pounds, and cut slits in it and stuffed it with wild onions and salt. I have a large flat rock sitting above the fire and a draft area left between the rock wall, I made heat reflectors from aluminum cans. The roast has been on the slow fire for nearly ten hours. Molly is having a hissy-fit wanting some bear scraps. She doesn't appear to want the cooked meat, only the offal. I don't know about saving that, think I'd better buy or or use it to bait the turtle trap? I found two steel barrels today but had the top cut out of it, maybe I can cut them in half and use them as kettles to make soap? I wonder what I could cut them with? I need a hammer and chisel. The hammer is the oldest tool known to man I believe, but it was originally used to beat the heads in on someone that was trying to steal the mastodon you dragged back to the cave and not to drive nails. I need one for nails and I need a chisel. I could certainly use a bottle of Louisiana hot sauce and maybe a dash of Worcestershire, but otherwise, the baer is pretty tasty and I am quit full of meat protein for the first time ine nearly a month. ...uh oh....I feel some serious belly-bubbles...gotta go
