BioLite CampStove

Who likes to go camping? It sure is not an activity for everyone, but hey, even the Big Bang Theory gang went on a camping trip of their own. Sure, they were there to observe an astronomical event, and they had tons of high tech equipment with them – not to mention food, but the point is that camping is still one of the most fun experiences that you can have.

WARNING: If you have a sensitive stomach and are strongly affected visually, then I suggest you take caution as you view this post.

So what’s with the idea of zombiecaplypse-compatible bread? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that it’s not really all about providing bread that can help you survive in case the zombiecalypse does happen.

One look at that lead pic, and you get the feeling that it’s more about art applied to breadmaking. The kind of art that will make you go into a zombiecalypse frenzy, or throw up your breakfast. [Read more…] about Zombiecaplypse-Compatible Bread
