Food for thought (no pun intended)
Man this is gonna be a good thread, subscribed! :D On a smaller scale though look at how people reacted to the Twinkie fiasco. Many people are too concerned with their possessions to realize the importance of basic necessities. It puts peoples lives in danger when they step into something that... -
How to make a Zeer pot (temporary cold (or at least cool) storage)
The zeer pots work pretty good depending on how large of a pot you use and the amount of sand. I made on in March for a instruction demonstration at school. I was surprised by the outcome. They do work, but your gonna need a very big pot to get something really cold. -

Never heard of Reeve knife. Just looked them up, that thing is really nice. -
Best Survial Knife (A Must Have!)
Post a pic. It sounds pretty cool -
Best Survial Knife (A Must Have!)
The ESEE Izula is a great knife. It gave me the courage to spend more money on a bigger ESEE Rowan knife. -
No can opener needed!
Never would have thought of doing that, guess you learn something everyday. -
Military Gear.
Post some of it on here, that's how I got rid of all my stuff that I didn't need when I got out. -
prepping with Kids

This is the guy I got the idea from. I also have the top set up like he does, but I need to get a smaller flex pipe to clean it up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz_koGZ0ALE&list=FLqDPbWn7uZybgmnxIT0bA5w&index=6&feature=plpp_video -
Rain Barrel
The barrel I got from my grandfather, just sitting in his pile of random stuff. I bought the pvc piping at lowes and the knob I got off my old man. It was brand new he just had it sitting around. I have found a few people on criagslist that have the barrels for about 20 bucks. Plus all the... -
Rain Barrel
Yeah I would try to drink it unless I filtered it and boiled it. It's my first attempt so this one is mostly going to be used to pressure wash and use in the garden. -
Rain Barrel
I have always thought these were pretty interesting. So I went out on a limb and made one. Cost less than 20 bucks to make and get everything. Works pretty good, I just have a small leak. Its dripping a drop about every 20-25 secs. Anybody know if silicon would seal it with the leak. Or do I... -
Topographic Maps
Just ended up printing them out, and having to overlay and tape together to good enough map to use. Its a little harder to read but I think it will work. Thanks for the recommendation. -
Topographic Maps
