This is actually kind of funny! I had a bucket of potting soil outside and brought in inside - was thinking I might need it. I like to start seeds indoors etc - well come to find out , my son, had dropped a tiny potato into the bucket of dirt a couple of weeks ago!! It is actually growing (sprouting?). My son thinks it is so funny. Is it actually growing to where we would get some more tiny potatoes?? It was one of those gemstone potatoes from Walmart. haha

DIY Coffee Can Survival Kit - Survival Supplies List
This DIY survival kit can be made with inexpensive supplies and a simple metal coffee can. Make sure the coffee can you are using for your survival kit is modified to be a wood stove also. This simple but efficient survival kit is best for if you break down in an uninhabited area while driving your car. This kit is also ideal for a day trip for hiking, camping, or exploring outdoors. We have a list below of the recommended survival gear to put into your kit.
The coffee I buy doesn't come in a metal can so I will use a #10 can that I have left from some food storage.
I have spent the day sewing up some homemade microwaveable heating pads for some Christmas gifts. Very easy and quick to make! You have to use 100% cotton fabric and I filled them up with rice.
Take two pieces of fabric that are approx. 12 inches by 15inches and sew them with the right sides facing each other on 3 sides. Turn them right side out and then measure every 2 inches. I used a fabric pencil to make the lines. Sew them leaving about an inch at the end. Fill each tunnel with rice. Then sew the end shut neatly.
That is it!
Place them on a microwave safe plate and into the microwave for about 1 minute 30 seconds. Use the warm pad on your sore back or whatever ache you have.
