Just to let everyone know I manage to purchase a suitable 20MM ammo can this week so I will be working on making a Ammo Can Rocket Stove this weekend I will take some pictures and post them hopefully in a few days.

We picked up some awesome hiking socks for the whole family. Also picked up some glow sticks and dozens of eggs! Still have to buy the mineral oil, but plan on dehydrating/powderizing some of them as well. Will be drying some more apples and garlic cloves (not at the same time) soon.

Saw a great idea on this week’s Doomsday Preppers for making fuel bricks from paper and leaves. We’ll be looking into that soon too!

Stove Fuel Homemade Briquettes

On Doomsday Preppers this week one technique caught my eye.

In case you didn't watch it, a guy was making stove fuel from shredded newspapers mixed with leaves.

He mixed them up in water into a thick slurry and let them age a few days.
Then he put the mixture in a homemade form and squeezed most of the water out.
When removed from the form the end product looks something like a fat donut.
Then he sets the briquettes out to air dry before storing them for use.

The form looked like it was made from a 1" PVC pipe inside a 4" to 6" PVC pipe.

If you are interested try to catch the re-run of the episode that ran this week.

Here is a link to a PDF showing a similar technique.
