(122) Candle Powered "Stoneware" Air Heater! -w/fan! - DIY Ceramic Space Heater! - 293F+ - YouTube

 This is so neat and easy to make. Would be a great way to heat a small space. Heating with candles can be a great way to lower power bill or keep warm in a power outage.

Useful information. 

Would be great to be able to bake bread on a grill in an off - grid situation. Being able to cook and bake anything on a grill could be a life saver.

What's in Your 72 Hour Bag?


You have already heard about survival kits, and you see the importance of protecting yourself and your family by having one for each member of the family. These kits are also known as 72 hour survival kits, disaster kits, emegency kits or emergency disaster kits. Whatever you call them, the question now is, what should you put in your survival kit.

According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Dept for Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness experts your survival kit should contain at least the following.

* Water -
* Food -
* Flashlight
* Waterproof blanket / sleeping bag
* Emergency Radio
* First Aid Kit


Those are just the bare essentials, you may want to include several other items to help you make it through an emergency, and perhaps even allowing you help others. Other items you could consider are:

Light and Communication:

Hand cranked cellphone charger

Rechargeable Squeeze Flashlight

36 Hour Emergency Candles - These can also be used for a emergency stove

Green Emergency Glow Sticks - These typically last 12 hours each

Survival Whistle

Compass

Signal mirror

Flint starter - for starting fires

Waterproof containers or bags

Box of 50 Waterproof Matches

Bic Style Lighter

Shelter and Warmth:

Emergency Survival Sleeping Bag

6-20 Hour Body Warmer - these can heat up in minutes with an average temperature of 130 degrees.

2-Person Tent

Emergency Poncho with Hood

Tools:

Mulit-Function Knife

Leather Palm Working Gloves

Respirator Dust Masks

At least 45 Feet of Nylon Rope

Hygiene and Sanitation:

Toothbrush

Toothpaste

Wipes

Dental floss pick

Hand and body lotion

Feminine Hygiene items

After putting toghether these essential, you can also add items that may be of particular interest to you, or add prescription medications that you would need to keep taking. Perhaps an extra set of eyeglasses.

The best way to pack these items is in a backpack or other easily portable container that you can easily grab and go when an emergency strikes.

A 72 hour survival kits are worth their weight in gold during a disaster, I have over 20 years Military experience and have provided emergency relief several times, and I know that having a survival kit is indispensible. I would never go into a disaster relief situation without the proper survival supplies. I strongly advise everyone to have a emergency disaster survival kit for every member of the family

Homemade Anti-Viral Room Sprays


Free Kindle Book - Homemade Anti-Viral Room Sprays

It’s a fact. You can help eliminate germs and fight viruses with homemade anti-viral room sprays.

Did you know, some airborne virus particles can float for a few hours before they fall and cling to a new surface? Once they come into contact with the new surface, the length of time they live there varies from surface to surface. For instance, some can live on cloth for two days, stainless steel for two to three days, and glass for four days.

Not only do essential oils fragrance your home, but also, they are useful in helping to fight nasty viruses and eliminate germs. This dual-purpose means that homemade anti-viral room sprays and air fresheners go a long way towards protecting your home and the health of those you love.

You may already know that eucalyptus, tea tree, and thyme essential oils have anti-viral properties. But are you also aware than cinnamon, clove, orange, and rosemary EOs are known for their anti-viral properties also?

So, why not use a combination of essential oils to provide fragrance to homemade room sprays along with their disinfecting and anti-viral properties? The good news is; you can certainly do this by using these homemade room spray recipes.

In this book, you will actually discover how to combine grain or rubbing alcohol and a handful of basic ingredients along with a blend of essential oils to create 50 homemade anti-viral room spray recipes. 

DIY Upside-Down Tomato Planters


This is a great thing to do with any extra cloth reusable bags that you have laying around. I have quite a few of them that I have gotten free in the mail.

This is so easy to do. Take the bag, cut a small hole in the bottom, insert the root ball (I wrapped the root ball in the fabric first to make it easier to get it through the hole), spread the fabric out across the hole to keep the soil in, add the soil, and water thoroughly. Hang up somewhere strong because these are HEAVY. Also , remember to hang them where they will get full sunshine for a few hours a day.

Use the smaller sized reuseable bags. This can get too heavy in one of those bigger sized bags.

You can also do this with a hanging planter. Just use the same idea with cutting a hole into the bottom of the pot.
