We Found Mushrooms - Cauliflower and Chicken of the Woods
We went to our camp for the day to do some upkeep, mowing and weed eating, etc., and then went for a little drive in the state forest. We found some mushrooms! We also checked the trail cams we keep at our property and had some really nice visitors!

    I made Dowsing rods using wire cutters,coat hangars and plastic straws. The plastic straws go over the hangar to ensure you can’t manipulate the rods with your hands, allows the rods to move freely. You can have a lot of fun using them, they aren’t just for finding water.

    The physics involved in dowsing have been reverse engineered. Read and study the book, The Art of Dowsing - Separating Science from Superstition ($14.95), for learning all of the physics involved in dowsing and how to build the modern light weight ball bearing dowsing rod, which is the only dowsing rod that accurately gauges what is being dowsed by pitting the energy of gravity against against the energizing of the one-tenth ounce dowsing rod load that is attached on the elevated acetylene welding rod, with being located five-inches from the hub's shaft. This precisely gauges the dowsing of all edges, exact center, depth buried with angle of deposition, and most important is grading of the sought element that is contained in the elemental mass that is being dowsed. Anybody can become a professional dowser by practicing the book's dowsing lessons of buried pipelines and electrical cables, tunnels and voids, precious metal placer and lode deposits, amplified long distance dowsing from a moving vehicle, and dowsing on water from a boat. Also, a new CZcams Channel - The Art of Gold Dowsing - will explain the physics involved in dowsing while being shown how to dowse for everything from buried pipelines to precious metal deposits. I hope dowsing enriches your life and have a safe, healthy, good day.

    My grandpa used to do this for his town. He lived in a small town & anytime anyone needed to find water, they always called him. Sure wish I had been able to go with him or video him doing it. He told me about it a couple of times, but didn't really go into detail. After he passed, I asked my grandmother. She said she never went with him either, but knew he always used a Willow branch. This is neat that your uncle can use any type of wood. This is so awesome!! Thanks for the video!

    @jakebredthauer5100 Před rokem

    Your boxes are too big to move and they don't allow drying space between the ranks of wood. Because a cord of wood is a measurement of volume, one chord stacked up could be five or six feet tall and it could be not even stacked but random tossed for better drying. Much depends on the climate. I don't know where you are. Some people measure it when they sell it. It will shrink. If it is a cord when it is green then it won't be a cord when it is cured.
