SkillCult
A Self Reliance oasis for like minded souls seeking credible knowledge, insight and authenticity, welcome home :)
SkillCult is not a survival, homesteading, prepping, or primitive skills channel, but it kind of is. It is motivated, less by fear of a disastrous future, (however valid) and more by wonder at the world of ideas, knowledge, resources and possibilities we walk through daily, but which is unnoticed by most. It’s about a hunger to point ourselves in a direction where we grow to become more self reliant, more self contained, and as a result, less like helpless adult babies suckling at the toxic teat of industrial society. In short, it is about free thinking and empowerment through knowledge and skill, and the true confidence and power that those bring to our lives, ongoing, however and wherever we live.
I strive to make this a life raft of insight in a sea of mediocre information. Hop in this raft by subscribing & Hit the Bell icon for notifications of new content.

This is some boar ham I smoked with my new fav smoking material, Black Oak bark. Most smokes are very edgy right out of the smoker, but this stuff is not only extra rich in flavor, but it comes out of the smoker with very little of that edge. Typically after smoking, I'll mellow the meat to take the sharpness off, either in the fridge, or just put straight into the freezer. The Black Oak smoke will mellow, but it's pretty mellow right off the bat, even in this meat, which was kind of over smoked. I also added powdered candy cap mushrooms to the dry salt and sugar rub. That's an innovation I've been playing with for adding maple flavor to cured pork and pork sausage Kind of like adding artificial maple flavor. You can only get so much maple flavor out of using maple sugar in curing and who can afford it anyway, especially since most of it gets thrown out in the end along with the brine. Very delicious. I'm going to look extra hard for candy caps this year, as I've been using them more.

The latest video in the slate roof series premiering today at 10:00 am pacific time. Looking forward to hanging out in live chat. BTW, for those who do show up for premiers, is this a decent time? I'm thinking about doing them a little earlier, since it's actually quite a bit later in most of the U.S.

New video premiering tomorrow morning, saturday 31st at 10:00 AM pacific time. I started this roof a long time ago and am trying to get the last side dried in by the time the rains come this year. We'll see. This video sets up the project and introduces slate cutting, the pattern and the basic common slate roofing system. It's a time consuming, but rewarding project and one of two slate roof projects I've done, neither of which is quite finished :/
