DIY Survival Candles Candles are an easy-to-use source of emergency lighting and a little bit of heat. I'm shocked to see some of the prices that are charged for long burning candles sold for survival or emergency preparedness - if you want to buy a dozen or so candles, the cost really starts to add up. Never fear! You can make your own survival candles at home for cheap, using high-quality, long burning soy wax. It's an easy project - the materials are easy to buy and you won't need any specialized tools. The materials you will need are:Soy wax flakes. First, you'll want to get your wicks ready. Put your wicks in the jars. This is my "double boiler." Here are the flakes beginning to melt. And now fully melted. Carefully transfer the melted wax into your pouring container. Don't fill the jar up the whole way - leave some room between the wax and the top of the container. Last step. Including the purchase of new jars, my cost per candle is around $1.62. Anyways, give it a shot and let us know how it goes!

craftyc0rn3r: Lego Glycerin Soap I decided to make some home made soap with my Lego molds as one of the favors for E.'s upcoming birthday party. They turned out so fabulous that my kids wanted to use them right away. I was quite shocked to discover how easy it was to make your own soap. It was $9.99 for the soap, $3.49 for the color dyes, and $2.99 for the apple scent. Cut the soap blocks. Put in a microwave safe container and microwave until the soap melts. Add your scents and color dyes and mix. Pour into the mold (I made mine here) and wait 20 minutes for it to harden. Don't the Lego bricks look great? Here are some mini figure soaps Mix the color dyes to create even more colors Package the soap and you have a great party favor. I used photoshop to create some labels and had them printed at my local store.

Simple Aquaponics System for Growing Your Own Food & Fish At Home This aquaponics system is different than most. It’s a scaled down version of the system Will Allen over at Growing Power Inc uses to grow 1 Million pounds of food on his 3 acre farm in Milwaukee, WI. The whole system uses just a single pump and uses very little energy to pump nutrient rich water up to the gravel bed on top for filtration. The upper bed is slightly angled so the water can slowly drain down to the second bed below. This system is scalable and will produce a large amount of food in a very small space when compared with traditional row cropping. This system has almost unlimited potential yield, and scalability. Also, this system can be housed in a greenhouse for year-round growing. So, what are you waiting for? Image: Comments comments
