 Modify Generator To Make It Quiet

 "A back up generator is a great  investment so you can keep the lights on, when the power’s off. Also in many remote locations a generator is the only means of electricity. The problem is no matter whether you use your generator for emergency preparedness or to power your remote cabin etc, they are noisy as hell. They’ll annoy you and your neighbors! Also in a bug-out retreat a noisy generator could give away your location…"



Free 76 Page Fully Illustrated Pioneering Book

"Pioneering is the art of making useful items and structures with rope/natural cordage and wood/branches etc. Pioneering is very popular with the Scout movement as you came make small simple camp gadgets like those in the image above, and you can make huge structures like bridges and towers, which promote excellent team building."

Slingshot Hunting
"On the surface it might seem that slingshots would be one of the worst choices for a hunting weapon. They’re not nearly as powerful as a bow (let alone a firearm), they take a lot of practice to be accurate with, you have to be much closer to your target and they’re usually pretty limited as far as what kind of game you can really go after with it. However, there are actually quite a few benefits for using a slingshot instead of a normal hunting weapon, including"

Yellowstone Super Volcano Could Wipe Out US

"Yellowstone National Park is pristine wilderness, full of scenic landscape and iconic hot-pools and geysers that attract tens of thousands of visitors every year. But it’s what lies beneath that has scientists scurrying. We’ve long known that Yellowstone is merely the skin on top of a supervolcano – a giant pool of magma sitting just under the Earth’s surface. Exactly how giant has been the subject of much speculation....until now."


DIY Emergency Candle Heater Using Oil Lamp

This is a new twist on the DIY clay pot candle heater. I have posted a couple of videos about this topic. The reason I have been researching something like this is because having a wood stove is not an option for my household for various reasons. We have a kerosene heater if the power goes out but the kerosene goes bad after a while and would be hard to get in a long term situation. Another reason for having a secondary backup is the prepper's law of threes, always have three ways get the basics when it comes to food, shelter, heat if you live in the colder climates, etc.  I have seen three different set ups using the clay pots turned upside-down over candles. The first was assembling three clay pots together (s,m,l) using a long bolt, washers and bolt, then invert them over a candle using bricks or some kind of fire-proof base. (No video but you can find it easily on youtube).  The results were disappointing. The next method I came across was to use two clay planters over 4 lit tea candles set inside a fireproof pan such as a small roasting pan with 2-3" sides to rest the clay pots on above the candles. This method, you covered the hole of the smaller clay pot using foil but left the hole open on the larger pot so the hot air could escape out the top. This third method uses a oil lamp instead of the candles which is cheaper, burns longer, and seems to put out more heat than the candles. I'm going to use the 2nd method with the two clay pots but with the oil lantern instead of candles. I' ll will give an update on how it worked.
