    Powder gourds?

    Gourds've been used for so many things over the millennia, I'd be surprised if no one'd done it.

    Fat Wood

    Weird. One time I tried to ignite a spoonful. Match didn't work. Zippo didn't work. Butane torch didn't work. I'll need to try again.

    maple tree seeds

    From a quick search, you can grind the dried pods into a flour and bake bread with it.

    Camp saw

    There are some how-to videos on YouTube for the bow saws. If you want versatility, I've seen people make blades for them from bandsaw blades.

    NO YEAST at the store....

    There's a second half to that quote.

    Just a dry cider yeast. Can't recall any specifics; for ages, I've been using the last cup of each gallon to start the next. But I mix a lot of cane sugar into the juice before starting.

    Either I've become a lightweight,...

    Have not gotten 'round to trying it. Given what a single twelve ounce mug of the cider is doing, I really don't think I need to concentrate it.

    Horsemeat and Sweet Potato Pie

    From Readers Digest in the '70s: A young family bought a farm, to be closer to the Earth. They got three hogs. So that the children wouldn't get the wrong idea about what they were for, they were named Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.

    Either I've become a lightweight,...

    or I make some seriously strong hard cider.

    What is the proper name for "possibles bag"?

    Possible that it depends on it's main use. If you're primarily carrying money and related items in it, then "purse" would be appropriate. That's where the term for a prize in a contest comes from, and I doubt any'f you would turn down that.
