Dryer Lint Fire Starter | When it comes to fire tinder and fire starting materials, I could probably write a book on all of the different natural and store bought materials I have used – some working better than others. However, for the purpose of this post I am going to focus on what I think is the most effective and economical home-made fire tinder/starter available. Here at Willow Haven Outdoor, we call these very cheap & very effective fire starters PET Balls. This stands for Petroleum Balls. Put simply, a PET Ball is a wad of dryer lint saturated with petroleum jelly. These are hands down my # 1 recommended carry for fire tinder/starter material – even above anything you can spend your hard earned money on at a store. I keep a container of PET Balls in both my Bug Out Bag and also my excursion pack. PET Balls Raw Ingredient: Dryer Lint The first ingredient is completely FREE and abundantly available – Dryer Lint. PET Balls: Dryer Lint + Petroleum Jelly Making PET Balls is a very simple process. Creek
Build a vertical aquaponic veggie & fish farm for small yards & houses This low-cost vertical aquaponic system can grow leafy greens, herbs and raise fish for a small family year round, and it fits in a 5' by 3' space. Sean Brady, the aquaponics projects coordinator at the Center for Sustainable Aquaponics and Nourish the Planet in Loveland, Colo., showed us how to build a system from scrap he found around the greenhouse. We published a version of this how-to guide at engineeringforchange.org, and it's one of the good ones, so we'd like to share it with Instructables, too. What it is A vertical aquaponic system grows vegetables without soil in columns above a fish tank. By growing vertically, you can produce about twice the amount of plants as you can with a hydroponic system of the same area. The system puts fish waste to work as fertilizer for crops. You do have to replace lost water as needed, power the pump and feed the fish. Materials You can use these or swap out anything for whatever you have on hand. Build time About two hours.
Plasti Dip For Your Car - Glossifier Blaze Pearlizer Metalizers Pro Car Kits 9 Different Military Poncho Survival Shelter Configurations | An essential item for ANY outdoor outing and certainly in every Survival Kit and Bug Out Bag is a good quality Poncho. If you don’t have one and need one go to the NOT IF BUT WHEN STORE HERE. There is nothing more miserable (and dangerous) than getting soaked by rain. I like for items in my pack to be multi-use items – meaning they can be used for more than 1 purpose. Below I have detailed 9 Different Military Poncho Set-Ups that can be used for multiple scenarios. Below is a Basic Lean-To Set-Up that I use quite often in fair weather. POST UPDATE: Below is a 10th Poncho Shelter Option I call the DIAGONAL. If you are using any of these shelters and are expecting rain you will want to tie a knot with paracord around the hood to prevent water from leaking inside. If you don’t have a good grommeted poncho – you can pick one up for under $25 at the NOT IF BUT WHEN STORE. As always I would love to get your thoughts on these. Similar Posts:

Tin can antenna Assemble the probe and mount in can Now you'll need that bit of wire. You'll need a soldering iron or a friend with one as well. Cut the wire so that when it is stuck in the connector as shown, the total length of both the brass tube and wire sticking out past the connector is 1.21". When you've got your wire correctly sized, solder it into the connector keeping it as straight and upright as you can. Connect your antenna to your wireless card or access point To use your cantenna, you'll need a special cable commonly called a "Pig Tail". You'll want to have a wireless NIC or access point with an external antenna connector. Hook up your cable, point the antenna at a friend's, and see how far you can stretch you network. This antenna has linear polarization. For more information, check out these resources: Go to the Homebrew WiFi Antenna Shootout Go to the Wireless Home

Day 25: Homemade Sprinkler with She Wears Flowers Hello, HomeSpun Threads Readers! I am so thrilled to be with you today sharing a bit of summer fun. I am Tammy and I blog at She Wears Flowers. I am a mom to sweet twin 10-year-old girls and a sassy three-year-old girl, too. We have a lot of fun during the summer spending long days together, but the all-time favorite activity is anything that involves W-A-T-E-R! MYO {awesome} Sprinkler Materials 2 10 foot pieces of 1/2 inch PVC pipe 1 PVC t-joint 1 PVC hose to pipe connector 4 PVC elbow joints PVC cement PVC pipe cutting tool (optional, but super nice!) drill with 1/16 inch drill bit Instructions Cut 10 foot pipes into 4 four feet pieces. You will not need the excess amount, but be sure to save it in case you need to make repairs later. (I don’t think it is a given, but why waste anything you may need?) The PVC pipe cutting tool is about $10 and well worth it. If you prefer, you can use a hack saw to cut PVC. Drill random holes along the length of each 4 foot pipe. Turn the water on low… then jump…
Our Rocket Stove Editor’s note: we have a new design for a portable rocket stove here. Low-tech is the new high-tech, and the best example of the low-tech revolution is the miraculous rocket stove–a stove that makes it possible to cook with small twigs–no logs needed! Best of all rocket stoves are easy to build. We liked the idea so much that we decided to build a permanent one just off our back deck for entertaining and as a backup to our gas stove should an emergency take out our utilities. The rocket stove was developed for use in poor nations where wood used for cooking has led to the vast, wholesale, deforestation of large swaths of the earth’s surface. Before we built the rocket stove we considered making a cob oven, a mud domed wood fired oven in which you can cook bread and pizza. Staring at the bricks we had scavenged to build the base of cob oven, we realized that we could re-purpose them for a permanent backyard rocket stove that we would actually use. Here’s the materials we used:
Outdoor Kitchen Construction – Masonry, Wood, Kits & Prefab Outdoor Concrete Countertops Time / 0:47 Hear about how this outdoor kitchen was constructed using cinder blocks, cast concrete countertops and a faux stone veneer. Not all outdoor kitchens are built the same way. The construction of an outdoor kitchen can be a complex process. While each outdoor kitchen is unique, the construction process is relatively uniform whether it's built out of wood or block or even a framework kit. Grading: Grading a landscape to drain is step one of the construction process that may prove the most important. Utilities: Installation of utilities is the most challenging of all outdoor kitchen construction features because they may require specialty subcontractors for electric and plumbing needed by many of the kitchen features such as a sink, which requires hot water and a sewer drain. Overhead structure: If there's a shade arbor or a roofed portico to protect the kitchen and its components, significant footings must be installed early on. Resources:Fresco Frames
