I was hoping someone would guess. It's a wagon wheel hub wrench, needed to take the wheel off so you can lube the axle.
Note: Where it says “Note: Axles are bidirectionally threaded”, too.

UHT is still huge here in France. And the process has improved since the 80s. I remember drinking it on school trips in the 90s and finding it fairly revolting, but to be honest, I can't tell the difference anymore.SassyFrass wrote: ↑Sun Jan 17, 2021 7:16 am We drank UHT milk when I was stationed in Germany back in the 80s. Not the best tasting stuff, but if mixed with chocolate it was better than nothing. And the good thing was that it would stay good unrefrigerated.

Seen em got em and used em on the farm
The interesting thing about that Shady is that some of those old hippys are now in their 80's.
I WAS IN MY 20'S AND ALREADY KNEW much of what they were seeking , having learned it from my Grandparent's generation . I still share information with those who seek answere to living with the land rather than on it .shadylane wrote: ↑Sat Mar 20, 2021 10:54 pm Fifty or sixty years ago.
It was the hippies that were going back to nature and didn't trust the government.
Now it's folks doing the almost the same thing, but calling themselves some thing else.
It never ceases to amaze me how folks can have so much in common but pretend to be different.
What age has taught me, is don't trust folks that are angry and divisive, yet believe only they are on the right path.
Like you, I was lucky enough to have extended a family to learn from.Truckinbutch wrote: ↑Sun Mar 21, 2021 4:25 pm ]I WAS IN MY 20'S AND ALREADY KNEW much of what they were seeking , having learned it from my Grandparent's generation .

Honestly, I think that these two things will actually be the most useful.tombombadil wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 6:03 pm We buy meat, honey and eggs directly from local producers. Aside from the quality, it might be good to have a local food industry.

I have been making friends with more people locally, having a group might be useful if things go sideways.

Yep, my folks were canning every year back then. Those days if you do those things and try to have some sort of garden - you are a prepper. Back then it was just the norm.Wyododge wrote: ↑Fri Sep 23, 2022 11:34 pm The way I look at it, it just a matter of volume. If you own a fridge, and a cupboard you are prepping. Maybe not long term, but you are ’prepped’ so to speak. Most have a water heater full of water, and a cupboard, even a grill outside to cook freezer contents quickly if need be. After that, it’s just a matter of duration. Not sure why it became a weird thing recently. Humans have prepped for thousands of years, either by storage or movement. Growing up, my folks and grand folks always canned, always had a freezer, and always had a cellar or basement full of long term foods. I happen to have pretty good resources and animals, a fair amount of tools and enough knowledge to keep my doc neighbor laughing at me. We all work together round these parts. Don’t know if that makes me a prepper, but I guess I’m fairly well prepared. To answer the question(s), yes we are (prepared), yes we encourage others to do the same, and we do it because it’s how we were raised.
If that makes me a ‘prepper’, count me in. But in the end, I think it’s just prudent.

Here in my neck of the woods, there's no rocks so it's easy to use water to drill a well.contrahead wrote: ↑Tue Jul 06, 2021 10:00 am
Installing a hand operated pump to my well is a project that has been in the back of my mind for a while now. That, or better yet to drive a sand-point well in the back yard, that can be both windmill and hand pump powered. My water table is somewhere between 12' and 15' down.
Wow. Interesting technique. Iv seen 3 foot crocks dug in ground. A guy inside digs out the dirt and pail it out. As the crocks slide down guys on top add another. After a while 60 feet or so,u hit water and the guy digging gets lifted out. If he's well liked.shadylane wrote: ↑Wed Jan 18, 2023 8:44 amHere in my neck of the woods, there's no rocks so it's easy to use water to drill a well.contrahead wrote: ↑Tue Jul 06, 2021 10:00 am

Use a garden hose and PVC pipe for the well casing.
I get the same result when one of my sprinkler lines busts open! Damn cheap Chinese plastic.in my neck of the woods, there's no rocks so it's easy to use water to drill a well.
