October and already the leaves are fading away in the Adirondacks. 🍂 Most shocking to me is that we are less then a month away from November, which in many ways should be a sigh of relief with the craziness of work and with the deep blue skies and crisp days of that month.

Rendering Raccoon Fat & Uses

Another great way to utilize more of your catch is to render down the fat. In this video I show you how it's done and a few of the great uses of rendered fat.

Weekend #4 at House Pond Campsite

|

I spent a lot of my summer in 2021 at House Pond Campsite on Piseco-Powley Road, mainly because I really like the swimming hole on warm days when I hike down there and cool off and not have to drive anywhere, especially with the DWI laws these days. The only downside about camping there, is there isn't any place that is good for setting up a target and plinking and it's a bit closer to other campsites, so I can't listen to music quite as loud -- the nearest campsite is about 1,200 feet away.
