I had a ton of green beans this year. I snapped a bunch and put up and gave a lot away. I read a while back about people drying them on a string back before they had canners and freezers. Basically you take a needle and thread like you would do peppers and hang them in a cool dry place. Once they dry they’re supposed to be like leather, hence the name. You’re supposed to be able to rehydrate and cook them like normal and they have a little different texture and taste. I strung up a mess today and gonna let them dry til Christmas and give them a shot. Y’all ever done this?

"Deer hunting used to be the pinacle of hunting-what you graduated to after learning to hunt small game. Trying to throw a kid into stand hunting, without having ever learned to HUNT is probably an effort in fultility." BSK
