Many years ago, there was a story about a guy who went back to nature with his family, in the "Foxfire" series of books,
Many years ago? Surely not - I'm not old enough to remember "many years ago", and I remember spending many hours in the "Foxfire" series...
Anywhoo... I remember looking into the homemade blackpowder idea, umm..., several years ago, and one of the ingredients was "stale urine". I also remember thinking that this was just one step too far. I mean, you might convince me to pee in a bucket to make my own blackpowder, but if you tell me I then have to hide it under the porch for a year to let it get stale (?)!
I'll find another outlet for my need to get "back to nature..." Besides, I don't have a porch.
I'm not kidding. Search "gunpowder" and "stale urine" together - see what comes up.
