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. 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. We tried to use a can piercer (triangle can opener) to make the holes instead of a drill. For this project we used a drill with a 1/2 inch drill bit to make the larger holes at the bottom of the can. Materials:
Motorhead Messiah - Fuel Efficient Cars - Biodiesel - Hybrids “Check it out. It's actually a jet engine," says Johnathan Goodwin, with a low whistle. "This thing is gonna be even cooler than I thought." We're hunched on the floor of Goodwin's gleaming workshop in Wichita, Kansas, surrounded by the shards of a wooden packing crate. Inside the wreckage sits his latest toy--a 1985-issue turbine engine originally designed for the military. Goodwin, a 37-year-old who looks like Kevin Costner with better hair, is a professional car hacker. Goodwin leads me over to a red 2005 H3 Hummer that's up on jacks, its mechanicals removed. "Conservatively," Goodwin muses, scratching his chin, "it'll get 60 miles to the gallon. He laughs. This is the sort of work that's making Goodwin famous in the world of underground car modders. His target for Young's car? This is more than a mere American Chopper--style makeover. Nobody--particularly not Detroit. Goodwin's work proves that a counterattack is possible, and maybe easier than many of us imagined. "Yeah," he said.
www.math.rutgers.edu/~lenci/jokes/chicken WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD? Plato: For the greater good. Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability. Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely chicken's dominion maintained.
hope you're not too tired to read this... | clayzmama says...... Check this out! As many curbs as I’ve hit, I might just need these tires! Resilient Tech has been testing these out for some time now, developing them for the military. Its a radical new design by Michelin and made in South Carolina. They are the next generation of tires and have already been previewed in Philadelphia at a car show. Here it is in motion…. These tires are airless and should be on the market soon….if they aren’t already. Not that I ever had to do that anyways!! And don’t forget to check out “what $4.00 of gas gets you” and “thorium car?

MacGyver, Survivalist, or Stockpiler: The Urban Survival Skills Everyone Should Know It's your word against his.. If he ain't talkin, your word pretty much wins. Also, don't try draggin him back in your house after he's dead.. As soon as you're involved in a shooting like this, call the cops, then a lawyer.. You are so bad ass. Seriously, you're advocating shooting a potential burglar with your "Mossy, Remy or Mr. We're not all in middle school, you know, and life is not like a Die Hard movie. I don't want to kill anyone. I am not running from my house. You can be a moral coward and subject yourself to the will of a criminal, however I will suffer no such victimization. @jodark It's not cowardly to leave and certainly not morally cowardly to leave if there is an intruder in your house. Unless you were a soldier or a police officer, you have probably not faced a life or death situation, and frankly, you are likely not equipped to fight back adequately. But staying in your house just because you paid for it and everything in it?

Jungle Survival: Finding Water" Because jungles are so wet, collecting rainwater is probably the easiest part of survival. Leaves on the rainforest floor are large because of the limited amount of sunlight they get. The larger the leaf, the more of the sun's rays it can soak up. Large leaves are useful in collecting dew and rainwater. You'll fare even better if you can find a running water source. Believe it or not, plastic bottles also work for boiling. Green bamboo has clear and odorless water inside it that you can drink. Another way to collect water is to make a solar still. The moisture from the ground reacts with the heat from the sun to produce condensation on the plastic. These are just a few methods you can use.

Last week we talked about the many survival uses of the tampon. But unless he specifically packed one in a bag or car, a man’s unlikely to have one on him in a pinch. So today we’re going to explore the survival uses of an everyday item you’re much more likely to have with you in an emergency: your cell phone. Ever leave home without your cell phone? Whether in a boat, on a plane, traveling through Africa, taking a road trip, or backpacking the Rockies, our cell phone has become a regular piece of Every Day Carry (EDC). Survival Signal Mirror Each of the cell phones I cracked open had metallic, mirror-like layers of material behind the screens. Aiming an improvised signal mirror requires a little finesse. Navigation Most speakers (if not all of them) contain a magnet. Sweep the magnet across the metal wire in the SAME direction 10 or so times. Spear Points & Cutting Tools Each cell phone also had a circuit board. And Then He Made Fire
