First Time Cooking with a Solar Oven

October 24, 2011 in Equpment Reviews

For quite awhile now, I have known about solar ovens, but have never really thought about them much.  I had the opportunity to see several models at the Self Reliance Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah.  There are numerous videos on the internet about their use, but they always seemed more of a novelty item.  After all, you do need the sun to shine to use one, right?  And they don't work at night!  Duh!

Report: The Self Reliance Expo, Salt Lake City 2011

October 11, 2011 in Self Reliance

Talk about a great weekend…

My wife, Carol, and I had the opportunity to attend the Self Reliance Expo in Salt Lake City in early October 2011.  We decided to go because Jack Spirko of The Survival Podcast and Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy of the Doom and Bloom Show were speaking.  It was also good to see what various vendors had to offer in equipment and supplies for disaster preparedness.

CHOIS 2011 Convention CDs

July 4, 2011 in CHOIS Convention

The CHOIS 2011 Convention CDs will start shipping this week.  We are in the process of preparing the first run of the CHOIS 2011 Convention CDs for those who ordered at the convention.  Once these are done, our next scheduled run will be late July.  However,  if we receive your order by Friday, July 8, 2011, your CD set will be shipped by Friday, July 15th, 2011.  You can download the order form here or with the link in the left menu.

This year we have a two CD set.  It includes most of the convention keynotes and workshops, along with the recordings of the Real Life Marriage Retreat – Homeschool Edition.

Two of the workshops did not make it to the final disc due to some technical issues during recording.  We apologize for this in advance, but it was unavoidable.  The details will be explained in a letter enclosed with the CD set.

It was great to see everyone again and we hope the CDs will help you in your continuing homeschooling efforts.

Thank you!

The Grand Canyon

October 23, 2010 in General Topics

We recently had the opportunity to attend the Blogworld New Media Expo in Las Vegas.  When we planned the trip, we thought it would be nice to visit the Grand Canyon.  We were already not too far away, less than a half days drive.  While there I shot some photos and videos.
