Here are some pictures of my completed Ammo Can Rocket Stove.

Inside with pipe installed.


This is the finish stove. If you look you can see I brought a what's called a mending plate (4"X6") to use a in the fire chamber to raise the fire up and allow a better air flow as they recommend for such stoves. It took 3 8 quart bags of Prelite to fill the can.

I’m planning a ten day solo backpacking trip this summer and decided to buy a PowerFilm USB AA Solar Panel Charger from Amazon.com.

I received my “Pathfinder Hunting System” (read: slingbow) this week.

Kinda spendy, but I put together the DIY version and it never lived up to its potential.

We were given several boxes of 1200 calorie emergency food bars similar to these. http://www.amazon.com/Mainstay-Emergency-Food-Rations-Calorie/dp/B003SDZD80

They expired this month, but we’re storing them in a cool dark and dry place. I think they still have useful life ahead of them. They are vacuum foil packed. If nothing else, they could be used for barter.

Something I wanted to bring up in case some of you have forgotten to do this: shred any old no-longer-important or investment/money related documents you might have around the house.

You may know they’re no longer pertinent, but you shouldn’t leave them around as a magnet for thieves.

Nice job, Kartographer.

Does anyone know of a good place to buy food-grade plastic one gallon or 5 gallon containers for storing water?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Wow, if true I need to stock up on Crisco not candles. One can is suppose to last 45 days!

“...Just pull out a tub of shortening, put a piece of string in the middle, and light it up. Not only will it burn, it'll last for 45 days—enough to get you through a zombie apocalypse or two...”
