I’ve collected some of my best DIY Projects in one easy place. Over the years since I started Survivalpunk I have done many DIY projects. Most of my best projects are a few years old now and are buried in the blog archives. Many of you might not ever see them. With DIY 2 Survive A How To Guide Of Great Prepper Projects I did the work of gathering them in one place. In this e-book you get 36 prepper projects. This e-book is organized into 5 basic categories. Fire, Food, Gear, Cleaning and Tech. Each section has several projects to choose from. I have detailed instructions to follow along with. There are over 150 photos in this packed e-book. You will learn how to make a coffee can hobo stove with pot holders. The perfect lightweight stove to take backpacking. You don’t have to worry about bringing fuel with a hobo stove. Learn how to make fuel tabs for esbit type stoves. In the food section I teach you how to make your own camping meals. No more wasting money on Mountain 1 DIY 2 Survive A How To Guide Of Great Prepper Projects DIY 2 Survive A How To Guide Of Great Prepper Projects House meals. Making them yourself and they will be much healthier than the junk on the market. I show you how to make fresh breakfast sausage at home. Finding sausage without fillers and chemicals is expensive. You get those 2 plus 10 more great recipes. In the Gear section I show you how to make a velcro backed battery holder. These are really great to stick on packs and gear. They also are work amazing to keep batteries tidy in you pack. Have a great small light edc light and want to go hands free with it? I teach you how to make any small flashlight into a headlamp. In the cleaning section I teach you how to save money and get rid of toxic cleaners. I have two chapters on making your own laundry soap. You will learn how to use baking soda and vinegar to clean around the house. Lastly is the tech section. There are only two projects in here but they are big ones. First learn how to make a tough, waterproof, encrypted thumb drive to store your documents on. I may have over built this as it looks bomb proof. Finally building a backup battery bank. This is by far the most expensive and most important project in this book. I would not fault you for skipping to the end to do this one first. I hope you enjoy this e-book copy of DIY 2 Survive A How To Guide Of Great Prepper Projects. You can always find more at http://www.survivalpunk.com/ 2 Fire Coffee Can Hobo Stove Fire Coffee Can Hobo Stove Stoves and cooking are two things I love. Maybe I’m just a pyromaniac foodie at heart. After several alcohol stoves, esbit stoves and my Jetboil with modifications, I decided it was time to make a wood burning hobo stove. I had a empty coffee can saved up just for this project and decided it was finally time. Enough jiba jabba let’s get to building! 3 Fire Coffee Can Hobo Stove Roaring Fire Coffee Can The first thing you will need to do this project is an empty coffee can. Use the big metal ones. I bought it in this container for this project. Drink all the coffee in it. Hopefully spread out over a few weeks. Marking the can 4 Fire Coffee Can Hobo Stove Next I used a sharpie to mark around the can where I wanted to drill the holes. I put the point of the marker inside one of the can ridges and turned the can. After marking it I used a center punch to make starting duvets so my drill bit wouldn’t skate around on the metal. Drilling the starter holes I used my Dremel drill press to make the starter holes. You can do it without one but it sure makes it easy. A full sized drill press would be even better, just not apartment friendly. My workshop is in my living room after all. Life of a bachelor. Bigger holes 5 Fire Coffee Can Hobo Stove Once I had my piliot holes I used my cordless drill and the 1/2 inch drill bit to make the holes the size I wanted. Marking holes for the pot holders Next I marked four more spots, this time on the top of the can, where I will run my pot holders through. After marking them I drilled them out on the Dremel. These holes will remain small. Coat hanger pot stands 6 Fire Coffee Can Hobo Stove I cut two coat hangers to make my pot holders. I put the in and tested the fit with a pot on them. They hold great and fit perfectly inside the holes drilled. Cutting the front door I marked a spot on the can to cut out for an opening to feed wood into. The dremel made easy work of this task. Loaded with wood 7 Fire Coffee Can Hobo Stove Now time for the moment of truth. Will this simple design work? I gathered some twigs of various sizes and dryness. Most of it was dry but I tossed in some damper material as well. This is a test after all. Vaseline Cotton Ball I used my favorite tinder, Vaseline soaked cotton balls, to start the fire. I added a few tiny dry twigs on top of the cotton ball. The fire quickly took off on its own though. Roaring Fire 8 Fire Coffee Can Hobo Stove It fire really got pretty big. After an initial smoking it burned mostly smokeless. Pot on the Stove I added a cheap empty can pot with water to get it to a boil. I forgot to add a bail to the pot though and ended up having to use two sticks as tongs. Rolling Boil 9 Fire Coffee Can Hobo Stove Getting to a rolling boil took longer than I expected. I forgot to make a lid for it which hurt the time. Maybe ten minutes or so. However I only used the fuel that I loaded it with so a handful or two. That I picked up off the ground and did not carry in with me. This is one project I call a huge success. The only thing I might add would be a few more air holes. Maybe because it seemed like it might not have been getting enough air but performed great regardless. If you want a cheap/ free bushcraft stove this is the way to go. Plus you get coffee out of this project. So get to your shop and get to making! 10 Fire Hobo Can Pot Holder Hobo Can Pot Holder Making a pot holder on these hobo stoves is super easy. I use steel tent pegs that I carry anyway for tarps.

    In the Autumn 2011 edition of The Quiver I wrote an article touching on the topic of survival as it applies to the bowhunter. In this article I want to talk about fire specifically and the different types of firestarters and techniques available. Fire is an important element in a survival situation as it provides heat for warmth, drying clothes or cooking as well as a psychological boost and if you’re hunting in a spot where you are one of the prey species it can keep predators away as well. There are many ways to start a fire; some ways relatively easy and some that would only be used as a last resort. There are pros and cons to most of these techniques. The most obvious tool for starting a fire is a match. While this is a great way to start a fire in your fireplace or fire pit I personally don’t like to carry matches in my pack or on my person. They are hard to keep dry and you are limited to one fire per match IF you can light a one match fire every time. It would be easy to run out of matches in a hurry as you are limited in how many you could reasonably carry. A Bic lighter or one of the more expensive windproof lighters is a slightly better choice for the bowhunter to carry. They are easy to use, easy to carry, fairly compact, and last for a reasonable amount of “lights”. They don’t work well when wet but can be dried out fairly easily.

  • Oil Cleansing for Naturally Perfect Skin
    Oil Cleansing for Naturally Perfect Skin wellnessmama.com/7569/skin-oil-cleansing/ I’ve posted many natural living and natural beauty ideas before, and this is one of the most simple and effective natural beauty tips I’ve ever found. I admit, I was skeptical before I first tried this, since my skin is naturally oily and I wasn’t sure it would work for me. I had also had very acne prone skin when I was younger, and was afraid that a method like this would bring back the acne… I was wrong! What is Oil Cleansing? Though it sounds somewhat crazy at first, the idea of using natural oils to cleanse the skin gently actually makes a lot of sense. The basic idea of oil cleansing is to use natural oils in specific combination to cleanse the skin and naturally balance the skin’s natural oils. This produces much more nourished and moisturized skin that traditional soap and detergent based facial cleaners. As the website dedicated to the oil cleansing method explains: “The basic concept of this skin care and cleansing method is that the oil used to massage your skin will dissolve the oil that has hardened with impurities and found itself stuck in your pores. The steam will open your pores, allowing the oil to be easily removed. Should you need it, the smallest drop of the same oil formula patted over damp skin will provide the necessary lubrication to keep your skin from over- compensating in oil production.” Even Acne.org explains the benefits of oil cleansing: “Fact: Oil dissolves oil.

  • Making Fire with Flint and Steel
    Making Fire with Flint and Steel. Early Failures Many survival or scouting books give different instructions on how one can start a fire with flint and steel. These books suggest various materials that are supposed to catch the spark (punk – the powdery dry rot from the insides of fallen logs, cottonwood fluff, fine dry grass, fine wood shavings, dry moss, and various lichens. The people who wrote those books had obviously never tried it. None of these materials work well, although they all make excellent small kindling once you have a fire started. Problem Solved The Oxford Universal Dictionary defines tinder as "a flammable substance used to kindle a fire, especially charred linen". When a spark hits charred cloth, it creates a tiny red spot, which slowly grows like a glowing fairy ring. It is impossible to blow out; in fact, the more wind there is the better, as the spark simply gets hotter and hotter. The only way to put it out is by suffocation (which preserves the rest of the charred cloth for future use), or by dousing it with water (which ruins the char cloth). The amazing thing is that charred cloth in windy weather makes it easier to start a fire with flint and steel than a match. Well, almost! Making Charred Cloth Here is how to put together your own tinder box, so that you can make a fire the same way that people did two hundred years ago. First, you will need some cloth. Linen is the traditional fabric, but 100% cotton works just fine, and it is a lot cheaper! Do not use synthetic or synthetic blend fabrics.

  • Low-Impact Living Initiative
    firecraft what is it? It's starting and managing fire, which requires fuel, oxygen and ignition. The more natural methods usually progress from a spark to an ember to a flame in fine, dry material (tinder), to small, thin pieces of wood (kindling) and then to firewood. Early humans collected embers from forest fires, lightning strikes and even volcanic activity. Archaeological evidence puts the first use of fire between 200-400,000 years ago – a time that corresponds to a change in human physique consistent with food being cooked - e.g. smaller stomachs and jaws. The first evidence of people starting fires is from around 10,000 years ago. Here are some ways to start a fire. Friction: rubbing things together to create friction Sitting around a fire has been a relaxing, that generates heat and produces embers. An comforting and community-building activity for example is a bow-drill, but any kind of friction will many millennia. work – e.g. a fire-plough, involving a hardwood stick moving in a groove in a piece of softwood. what are the benefits? Percussion: striking things together to make From an environmental perspective, the more sparks – e.g. flint and steel. The sharpness of the natural the method the better. For example, flint creates sparks - tiny shards of hot steel. strikers, fire pistons or lenses don’t need fossil Compression: fire pistons are little cylinders fuels or phosphorus, which require the highly- containing a small amount of tinder, with a piston destructive oil and chemical industries, and that is pushed hard into the cylinder to compress friction methods don’t require the mining, factories the air in it, which raises pressure and and roads required to manufacture anything at all.

Vol. 7, No. 4, 2019, pp. 110-115. doi: 10.11648/j.ajac.20190704.11 Received : January 26, 2019; Accepted : July 17, 2019; Published : July 30, 2019 Abstract: This study reports the characterization of oil from Castor (Ricinus Communius L) seed oil. The biocosmetic potential of the castor oil was evaluated for hair through physico-chemical characterization. The various physicochemical parameters (iodine value, pH value, specific gravity, refractive index, peroxide value, etc) were tested in accordance with American standard testing method specifications and compared with argan oil. Accordingly, the parameters tested comply with some journals dealing with cosmetics. Biocosmetic has high potential as a raw material for synthetic cosmetics or blend stock substitution for cosmetics without any modification. The advantage of castor oil over other oils (sunflower, olive, soy bean, corn) would lie in the oil price. Keywords: Caster Oil, Castor Beans, Biocosmetic, Nonedible Oil, Soxhlet Extractor, Argan Oil During the last century, synthetic substitutes have become 1. Introduction available and have been used to replace natural seed oils.

    SURVIVAL HACKS OVER 200 WAYS TO USE EVERYDAY ITEMS FOR WILDERNESS SURVIVAL CREEK STEWART, author of Build the Perfect Bug Out Bag AVON, MASSACHUSETTS Contents Introduction CHAPTER 1 Shelter Hacks CHAPTER 2 Water Hacks CHAPTER 3 Fire Hacks CHAPTER 4 Food Hacks CHAPTER 5 Staying Healthy CHAPTER 6 Gear Hacks CHAPTER 7 Forward Movement CHAPTER 8 Everyday Carry (EDC) Kits on a Budget Conclusion Acknowledgments Introduction sur-VIV-al HACK-ing verb The act of using what you have to get what you need to stay alive in any situation. “Hacking” is making do with what you’ve got. It has three aspects: 1. Using knowledge of basic survival principles 2. Innovative thinking 3. Exploiting available resources KNOWLEDGE OF BASIC SURVIVAL PRINCIPLES Knowledge is the basis for almost every successful survival skill. You can get it from reading books, listening to the advice and stories of others, and watching the actions of others. However, the most important way to gain true knowledge of survival principles is trial and error with your own two hands. No method of learning takes the place of hands-on, personal experience. Your options in a survival scenario will ultimately depend on your understanding of basic survival principles that surround shelter, water, fire, and food. INNOVATIVE THINKING I’ve often said that innovation is the most important survival skill. Innovation can be defined in survival as creatively using available resources to execute a plan formulated using pre-existing survival knowledge. At the end of the day, the application of survival principles is only limited by your ability to creatively use them.

  • Argan Oil, Murumuru Butter, Safflower
    Yep, The Oil Cleansing Method REALLY Works (really!) By: Stephanie Pelczar How can OIL cleanse skin? ​ ​ Short answer: When you rub oil onto your skin, it pulls the sebum and dirt out of your pores, leaving behind clean, moisturized skin. BUT the type of oil you use matters! Not all oils have the same properties, and some will work better on certain types of skin than others. It depends on the comedogenic rating of the oil. Comedogenic- what is that? Comedogenic means that it causes comedones- or acne/clogs pores instead of cleansing pores. The comedogenic scale rates oils from 0-5, zero being noncomedogenic (won’t clog pores), up to 5. While highly moisturizing, oils with a comedogenic rating of 5 can be counterproductive to use for skin cleansing purposes if you have acne-prone skin. Here are some oils/butters and their comedogenic rating: ZERO, 0: Argan oil, Murumuru Butter, Safflower Oil (high linolenic), Shea Butter, Sunflower Seed Oil, Tucuma Butter, Hemp Seed Oil, Kokum Butter, Mango Butter, Poppy Seed Oil, Red Raspberry Seed Oil, Watermelon seed oil, ONE, 1: Babassu Oil, Castor Oil, Cucumber Seed Oil, Meadowfoam Seed Oil, Neem Oil, Milk Thistle, Perilla Oil, Pomegranate Oil, Rosehip Oil, Sea Buckthorn Oil, Guava Seed Oil, Calendula Oil, Kiwi Seed Oil, Maracuja/Passion Fruit Seed Oil TWO, 2: Sweet Almond Oil, Apricot Kernel Oil, Andiroba Oil, Coconut Oil (Virgin), Evening Primrose Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Hazelnut Oil, Jojoba Oil, Olive Oil, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Rice Bran Oil, Sesame Oil, Borage Oil, Tamanu Oil THREE, 3: Macadamia nut oil, Avocado oil, Chia seed Oil, FOUR, 4: Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil (Unfractionated), Flaxseed Oil, Cupuacu Butter, Palm Oil FIVE, 5: SoyBean OIl, Wheat Germ Oil How do you perform the oil cleansing method on your face once you have the right oils for your skin type? Place a few drops of the oil/oil blend onto the palm of your hand or on your fingertip.

  • How to Make Char Cloth Tutorial
    How To Make Char Cloth Tutorial. Author Simon Critchley. WARNING: The gasses given off in this process are flammable; also this process produces a lot of smoke and should only be done outside. The aim of this tutorial is to give you an insight in how to make Char cloth. For this you will need the following: · A suitable retort with an airtight lid (an old coffee can is ideal). · Cotton (pillow cases, t shirt, light weight denim). · Fire or BBQ. · A twig. The first thing to do is punch a hole in the lid of the retort, slightly smaller than the diameter of the twig, the twig will be pushed into this hole to finish off the burning process. I made my hole the same size and had to use mud to seal the aperture round the twig. My retort showing the hole in the lid. Now you need the material you intend to burn, the lighter weight the material the faster it will burn. Now you need to tightly pack the material into the retort, the key here is to tightly pack the material together. Air space in the tin isn’t too much of a problem but air space in the material is. The slower the material can burn the better quality the char. Now put the lid on firmly. You can blow this principle up to make your own charcoal for your BBQ if you have enough space and time.
