Hobo Stove | Practical Survivor Urban survival is a tricky subject to discuss. There are advantages to urban survival. Anywhere you look there are items in trash cans and dumpsters that can be used to improve a survival situation. Cardboard boxes can be used for shelter, newspapers can be used for insulation and to the practical survivor another persons trash can be a treasure. In this case we will use a coffee can to build a stove. Keep an open mind during any survival situation. Whether backpacking, camping, or surviving, having a way to cook can make a huge difference. A coffee can or large vegetable/ravioli can will allow you to build a stove and cook. Items used to build this stove: * Coffee can * Can opener * Tin snips * Drill and drill bits * Metal coat hanger There are many methods that could be used to build this stove. We use a metal coat hanger to build rods which will help hold up the cooking pot. The top side of a coffee can is already opened. We then used the tin snips to cut a small door. Materials:
Preparedness Nuggets Index The original index page for these Preparedness Nuggets, online since 1999, practically a geezer as webpages go, was recently corrupted. Not sure how that happened, but so it did. So the original somewhat gaudily decorated page is replaced with this much more simple page. I will try to replace the summaries of each index as I get time. These Preparedness Nuggets are composed of information gleaned from various online discussions in 1998-1999. It is the internet equivalent of talking about various subjects with a neighbor over the back fence. Printable Flyers for use in disaster situations Survival Bow Making Instructions By Jason Knight The following bow making instructions will help you construct an effective bow in a relatively short amount of time. A quickie bow is a fast-made bow for immediate use in a survival situation. It is carved from a sapling or branch of a tree. The reason it is called a “quickie” bow is because it is made at the time the wood is harvested, rather than waiting a year or more for the wood to season (as is typical for regular bow construction). The advantage of this bow is that it is ready to use right away. Survival Bow Making Instructions 1. The first step is to select the proper materials. For a quickie bow, you want to start with a relatively straight section of sapling or branch that is free of knots, side branches, and twists. 2. Stand the bow stave upright on the ground, hold the top loosely with one hand, and push outward lightly on the middle of the bow. Lightly pushing on the center, while allowing the stave to swivel, to find the back and belly of the bow 3. 4. 5. 6.

I Will Knot! How to build electronic devices on your own - StumbleUpon Building electrical devices is probably the most inexpensive engineering you can do because most electronic components are very cheap, like less than $1. How to actually build devices on your own isn't taught enough in engineering courses, so here's a quick summary of how to get started making devices like I have on my site. In this page, I kind of assume you're an engineer/scientist of some sort (or studying to be one) and that you've already had a few electrical engineering classes. If you don't know any electrical engineering, you'll obviously need to learn the basics before you can start inventing. A good place to start is the book Make: Electronics , which teaches you theory and practical knowledge of components at the same time. First, get an idea To get an idea for something cool to make, it helps to go to online stores for electronic components (Jameco.com is a good one) and look at the components they have. Also, I really recommend getting a microcontroller, like the Arduino. . .
