Homemade ice-claws

When I moved to college in Idaho as a teenager, I had a really quick introduction into a new world of snow and ice. While the snow I grew up with was wet and heavy, and usually melted away pretty quick in the moderate temperature. Idaho however introduced me to the bitter hard-freeze that left our campus with an amazing array of forms of ice that were completely new to me. I, as with many of my fellow students, became intimately familiar with this ice while performing the splits, or landing on my back when trying to hurry between classes.

Starting a Fire with Steel Wool

<a href="/images/uploads/2011/02/fire.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3453" title="fire" src="/images/uploads/2011/02/fire-202x300.jpg" alt="" width="202" height="300" /></a>Continuing my<em><strong> Heat and Light Series</strong></em>, today we're going to look at an alternative way to start a fire - with Steel Wool and Batteries.  Like I've said in previous posts in this series, this is probably something that every old Boy Scout and every long time Prepper already knows.  The point of this series is to get back to basics and cover things that new Preppers will need to get up to speed on - and to remind some of you about the skills and knowledge you have that you may have forgotten.  :)<!--more-->

Making Tallow Candles

<a href="/images/uploads/2011/01/TallowCandle.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-3342" title="TallowCandle" src="/images/uploads/2011/01/TallowCandle-300x252.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="252" /></a>One of the things that frustrates me in Preparedness is that many of the texts and resources out there don't adequately cover "Pioneer Skills".  That is to say, they present material lists and instructions that include things that are only available via modern-day manufacturing methods.  Often times what I'm looking for is how do I make something out of nothing - nothing being the great abundance that nature provides us with!  This is very true when it comes to activities like candle, cheese and soap making.  I want to know how to do it in a true collapse or long term survival scenario.<!--more-->

Instructables Paracord Contest

One of our favorite DIY sites, <a href="http://www.instructables.com">Instructables.com</a> is hosting a Paracord Contest. The grand prize is a Leatherman with a custom laser etched message of your choice. Paracord is one of the best gotta-have-some-with-you preparedness items. The inner strands can be used for fishing line while the outer shell on its own provides a strong shell for wrapping or weaving other objects. Really, the possibilities are endless.

Making Canned Milk Products from Powdered Milk

<a href="/images/uploads/2010/01/sweetcondmilk.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2938" title="sweetcondmilk" src="/images/uploads/2010/01/sweetcondmilk.jpg" alt="sweetened condensed milk" width="260" height="260" /></a>When I started storing food, I thought it would be a good idea to store forms of canned milk like evaporated milk and sweetened condensed milk.  I bought quite a few cans and have used most of them over the years.  However, I only have two recipes I regularly make that call for evaporated milk, and one that calls for sweetened condensed milk, so I did not use every can I purchased before they expired.  <!--more-->
