Whether you call it preparing for the year 2012 or getting ready for TEOTWAWKI (The End Of The World As We Know It) or simply a 72 hour Personal Emergency Relocation Kit (PERK); having a small set of tools and gear packed and ready to go on a moments notice helps prepare you for escaping from a disaster. Let's just call it a Bug-out bag for now. Most recommended Bug-out bags consist of a backpacks worth of supplies and equipment. Fine if you drive to work and can leave your Bug-out bag in your nearby car, but what if your job requires you to leave the vicinity of the employee parking lot? Or car pool? Or commute via train or bus? Obviously we all can't have a backpack with is at all times.
Here's a solution to that problem. A Bug-out bag is a portable kit containing items you would require to survive for seventy two hours after a disaster. The best Bug-out bag (like the best First Aid Kit and the best Survival Kit) is the one you have WITH you when you NEED it. EDC Kits Vehicle Kit. Amazon. Build a Hidden Door Bookcase for Your Secret Stash. Remember all of those old suspense movies and Scooby Doo episodes where someone would move a book on a bookshelf, or tilt the sword on a suit of armor and suddenly a hidden door would be revealed behind a bookshelf. Didn’t those just rule!? NOW, you TOO can build your own wicked cool hidden door! Oh yes, SHTF peeps. Think about it. Need a place in the house your kids can hide in case shit hits the fan? Sitting on your ex’s credit cards or piles of gold you need to stash? SHTF homies – THIS is it! This person built a nice one that seems to blend in quite well.
Here are straight forward directions from WikiHow. Wood Web has additional designs right here . House Calls has another approach – turn the closet door into a door with shelves. What? Perhaps a less costly option would be to visit www.spacexdoors.com and send them the measurements you need for a quote. That’s outta sight! - Ranger Man. Vintage Locket. Make an EDC, and be prepared for anything. The things you'll need to make your EDC are very flexible...Experiment!!

(* denotes optional but recomended) Option #1, (based around Doug Ritter's Pocket Survival Pack.) 1x Pocket Survival Pack, 1x box of Swan Vesta matches (or equivilent strike anywhere), 1x small AAA torch (flashlight to all you people in america) or small keychain light, 1x small ziploc bag like these, link , 1x roll of zinc oxide tape to wrap around a toothpick, some medium sized safety pins, rubber bands, Nurofen (ibuprofen), remember to cut it down (see image above),* Micropur water purification tablets (or equivilent), you only need two* a good quality knife, I like spyderco but any brand will do.
Some good thing nylon cord (but 550 paracord will work)* Option #2, (not based around Doug Ritter's Pocket Survival Pack.) LED only apartment lighting. My on average power consumption is 100 watts! If I turn on ALL the lights in my apartment I will be consuming 324 watts. Motivation: saving money on electricity, being energy efficient and doing it on a budget Scientific data: When a light-emitting diode is forward biased (switched on), electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons. This makes perfect sense to me, but if you're a bit confused read this wikipedia page on Light Emitting Diods LEDs use even less power then Compact fluorescent lamps ( and in the recent years the price of these lights have gone done enough to be affordable.
Disadvantages to using LEDs: 1. I looked online and in various stores for LED lights. I bought 10 of these lights in a hardware store and started experimenting with how much light these would give out. Building an Electric, Cigar Box Ukulele. In this Instructable, I will be documenting my first attempt to build a Cigar Box Ukulele. It's a work in progress, so I will be updating this Instructable along the way. Feedback is appreciated. My Cigar Box Uke will actually be built from a wine box not a cigar box, but Wine Box Ukulele just doesn't roll off the toungue as well. This is a wood box that held two bottles of wine, not a box from a box of wine. Cardboard just wouldn't sound the same (although... having a spigot on my ukulele might be something to think about for next time...)
I think I'll call this one a "Winolele" due to the source. Some of the great pioneers of rock n roll started with a simple cigar box instrument, pioneers of rock n’ roll such as Carl Perkins, blues greats like Lightin’ Hopkins, B.B. Duct Tape Kayak. Solder and polish. Paracord wrapping a knife handle. Solar Altoids iPhone/ iPod Charger. I love my iPhone 4 to death. I really do. Even if it sucks juice faster than a 1st grader at snack time and I often find myself on low power with a long train ride ahead of me. I originally made my Altoids USB Charger to use with my iPhone, only to find that Apple being Apple doesn't let it's products play nice with generic USB chargers. I then set out on a long journey to find a cheap charger that would work with an iPhone 4. After sacrificing many a cheap Chinese charger to my garbage can I eventually found a great little circuit with the added bonus of having a retractable cable.
It's a cheap and easy project to put together and a great gift to give. *** Update: I've since retired this kit. Paracord Wrap. For this Instructable gonna wrap a handle on a custom camp axe that I made. This form of wrap could be used on any type of handle. A nice thing about this type of handle is that if needed you have however many feet of rope with your tool. Last summer I actually unwrapped a handle for rope (that I forgot) to hang my food in a tree. Sorry bears! Paracord short for Parachute Cord is a lightweight nylon rope used during World War II for yeah you guessed it parachute suspension lines.
OK so I use this stuff for everything $7 for 100' is hard to beat. Things needed for this: A tool to wrap Paracord don't be intimidated by buying 100 feet you will use it ;) Sharp knife or scissors Lighter or Soldering Iron Something to hold your tool firmly in place Spring Clamp This project was done at the community workshop in Portland, OR !
