Yes it does. The price is right too.

"Learn how to make gunpowder from such items as dead cats, whiskey, your living room ceiling, manure and maple syrup with simple hand tools and techniques that have been used for centuries."

I can just see it now. Millions of deceant common folks that would otherwise be watching DopeRa and preparing their Camray for a new Oblama Bumpa Sticka will now be killing the nieghbors KAT, Making Moonshine, Gathering Road Apples and killing poor trees with augers in search of the Holy Black.


Who knows what this could lead too?

In Napoleon's time the French government demanded that farmers make stacks composed of a layer of straw, manure, straw, manure.... Any manure would work, and chamber pots weren't to be overlooked. After sitting in the sun for a time, potassium nitrate would form and collect as crystals at the ends of the straw.

Black powder and dirty hands go together.

AH!

Last spring I decided to start what I call the Bucket Garden.

I take free 55 gal poly barrels, cut them in half and drill a few 1/4 drail holes.

then fill the buckets with free manure. top it off with 3-6 inches of free compost mixed in 10 pounds of lime to adjust the ph according to what I want to grow. Throw in a handful of worms & nightcrawlers and in 6 months you have a half bucket of great compost and lots of worms as well as tasty veggies.

I wounder if I elevate a few buckets and put a drain hose on them if I would get enough potassium nitrate to make some Black Powder? How much manure would you need?

Not just Napolean.

In Switzerland a goodly portion of Farm Taxes were levied in Salt Peter.

The LeConte instructions I linked to were from an instruction manual given to Farmers by the US Govt as a part of 19th Cent "Homeland Security".


By the request of the Chief of the Department of the Military, under authority of the Executive Council, I have been induced to publish, for the instruction of planters and manufacturers, a very succinct account of the most approved methods of manufacturing saltpetre. ...

Even one for making meth,NOT something we need!

Almost, not quite. 1862, North Carolina, and by James Chestnut - This was written for and distributed to farmers by the Confederate Government, not the US Government. Actually, probably by the State of North Carolina, CSA.

All depends on your view of which "government" was legitimate... ;)

That was a great earthly humors story there Mr. Scotsman. I liked the part about the mud wrestling.
