Although the bacteria that have disappeared from the wood surfaces are found alive inside the wood for some time after application, they evidently do not multiply, and they gradually die. They can be detected only by splitting or gouging the wood or by forcing water completely through from one surface to the other. If a sharp knife is used to cut into the work surfaces after used plastic or wood has been contaminated with bacteria and cleaned manually, more bacteria are recovered from a used plastic surface than from a used wood surface.

Basketry: We’ve been doing it over 29,000 years, we can do it again, harder.

But, no, not with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Longaberger_Company please. Have some pride.
Virtually all human cultures have made baskets, and have apparently done so since we co-existed with ground sloths and sabre-toothed cats; for tens of thousands of years humans may have slept in basket-frame huts, kept predators out with basket fences, and caught fish in basket traps gathered while paddling along a river in a basket-frame boat. They might have carried their babies in basket papooses and gone to their graves in basket coffins.
The Worlds Largest Rope Swing.
Moab, Utah became a playground for Devin Graham when he let loose on the world’s largest rope swing. An absolutely epic video. Take a look at the actual video above, and the making of below.

Archevore on Grain Avoidance.
There’s a lot of great writing from years ago, before paleo became “trendy.” [I think of it as "trendy" because I'm now kind of aware of it, I wasn't in 2011.]
Your genes do not care if you get coeliac disease, heart disease, diabetes, degenerative arthritis, tooth decay, autoimmune disorders, cancer or alzheimer dementia if by eating grains you were able to avoid famine just long enough to reproduce.
[via
6s and 3s and the logic of grain avoidance]
Definitely read the entire post, because it’s going to make you question really, how affordable non-grass fed beef really is in terms of your health. Remember, you’re not just avoiding grain in your own diet, you’re also avoiding grain in the animal diets that you eat. You are what you eat.
A Neolithic Conspiracy to Fuck with Mark’s Daily Apple
This couldn’t have happened to a more innocent person as far as I can tell.
How much can you write about Paleo anyway?
“All science is either physics or stamp collecting.“—Ernest Rutherford.
Once you’ve gotten the basics, everything else in Paleo is stamp collecting I’m finding. New recipes, new foods to avoid. I’ve done the science on myself with two cheat meals this weekend and I feel, well, I feel like shit. Every. Time. Other sites like Mark’s Daily Apple and Robb Wolf’s are at an immense challenge with this topic—they have to keep it fresh and interesting when very little about our knowledge has changed. Amazing.
I’ve already scaled back on the frequency of posting here obviously because of this very problem. The focus has to change, and it has to be more in the realm of forward looking ideas above what to eat. How to live is the new focus, I hope you enjoy the change.
Using Neolithic Foods to Stage Before/After Fitness Transformations
Finally, something “useful” you can do with neolithic foods (corn chips, potato chips, soda, chocolate milk, etc.)
