Huntering and Gathering

Riley read a book once called "My Side of the Mountain". He since has had a primal desire to live off the land. He already got a deer this year which we have turned into yummy jerky and eaten. Recently he gathered acorns and more acorns and shelled each one. Then he rinsed and rinsed to get the tanic acid out so he could turn it into acorn flour.There's the acorn flour on the right and the pancakes he made from it on the left. It is highly nutritious and delicious.
The kids were hesitant at first. Elli, who hates anything brown and will only eat white bread, but no crust of anything, was very skeptical. Maybe adding butter will help.
Hey! Look! They are good and she liked them! (Even though the pancake on the plate looks like she didn't have any yet, she really did like them.)

That seems like a lot of work. Seriously when the world comes to an end my family is packing up and following you guys where ever you go. You will be well prepared. I need to learn from you all!
