The following brief recipe for End of Season Vegetable Broth is from SurvivalBlog reader Mrs Alaska. She writes:  “I make broth from end-of-season greens that aren’t great for fresh eating. The peas that burst.  The hairy squash and cucumber leaves.  The celery that is great now but will not winter well.   Avoid any leaves that you should NOT eat, like tomatoes, rhubarb, and (flowers: sweet peas).

Both platforms are currently being fielded across the Army’s Close Combat Force, replacing the M4A1 Carbine and M249 Squad Automatic Weapon. For the U.S. Army, type classification represents a major milestone, particularly when it comes to the adoption of small arms. This process changes what are initially classified as experimental arms and classifies them as standard arms for military use, confirming…
