Re: Solar battery chargers and other 'prepper' stuff

I use and have used solar for some years but have started to expand my experiments. Quality gets better and prices get better every year. I do everything cheaply so understand my goal is cheap or free and easy to fix. I am self-taught and tend to screw up a lot so easy to fix is big. In the garage I...

Re: Altoids candy box survival boxes

Or, you can save your dryer lint in a plastic bag with your fire rod. Mine has the metal striker on a loop with the rod. :idea: Blain. The only problem with dryer lint is you have to be sure of your fabric softener. Some of it has fire retarders for baby cloths and such. The lint doesn't burn very ...

They are nice tins for many things but making tinder is great. Then there is first aid kits, sewing kits and on and on. I have taught and started a LOT of fires with flint and steel and I make a lot of char.

Re: IMPACT

Thank you Jim. Through the centuries, many have rejected Jesus Christ, and continue to do so.

Winter Solstice.

So there is this thing that happens at sunset on the winter solstice. There is a slice of light that comes through the house from two windows and a doorway. If you are outside the house on a ladder at sunset you get to see this. The ancients would be proud.
