Store zucchini in bread
I have been searching for the best way to store zucchini and have found the answer: in bread. Instead of trying to freeze the zucchini itself, make it into bread first and freeze the loaves.

Making Better Char Cloth
When starting a flint and steel or striker type of fire, char cloth makes all the difference in being able to actually get the fire started or just making a bunch of sparks that never catch anything on fire. Char cloth (sometimes also called charred cloth) is one of those amazing mountain man items that is still very useful today. Char cloth is pieces of blackened fabric that easily catch a spark and burn similarly to the way steel wool burns--no big flame, but a nice ember burn that doesn't blow out once it's lit. The spark lights the char cloth and the char cloth is used to light the other tinder. I've been wanting to add char cloth to my fire kits and having used all my char cloth made by others, I decided to make a batch of my own.

DIY: Horizontal Storage of 55 gal. Water Barrels
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2311" src="/images/uploads/2009/07/water_barrels_final.jpg" alt="water_barrels_final" width="200" height="310" />I stumbled across this DIY project recently for storing 55 gal. water barrels horizontally. The biggest drawback of standard upright water barrels is getting the water out when needed. This generally involves either a siphon or a hand pump. Storing the barrels horizontally and adding a spigot to one of the caps makes using the barrels much more convenient. You'll also be more likely to exchange the water every six months since it will be easier to do.
