I made several straws recently that worked out so well. It was after i descovered Straws. Now i use the extra cotten one as fishing floats including Teetree and Clove Oil as major first aid. I have to work with the Tea tree oil as it does not work with plastic well. (it melts through it) I...

I am not into the glow spark to / fire. What if its Worldwar 5 say and there is no longer any petrolium. Your lighter may end up next to the spects of planet of the apes lol. But hey if you have a spark you can always start a fire.

Does anyone know how to transfer Liquids into rock or crystal format. Not much publicized online ? I wish to make genuine Methylated spirit hard tablets without using any materials like paraffin or wax etc., Needs to be based on 80% Methylated spirits and normal temperatures.

Yeah that works too but a litte more work, Glycerin is much faster, a few drops of water can accelerate the process. You can also use break cleaner, Windscreen wash and other glycerine contents. I am thinking about adding starch or other combustable ingrediences to keep the fire to last longer...

Yeah i agree, I usually make several options as if one or more fail i always have a posibility. I do the same with data but in a different way. Backup your important data, store more than 20 meters apart and on 3 different media. this way it is very unlikly to lose it or fail. In fuel and fire...

I learned in the past that with only a few items it is very easy to improvise. Ability to start a fire easily in any weather, Birch bark and Sproose Amber and fern twigs, a tin you can seal and a knife all helps, You can make tar, seal your canoe or boat, bind logs, repair clothing or kit. but...

Yes carrying chemicals is not a good thing and can get you in serious trouble. But if you have a good excuse to carry items that include kits like camping, bushcraft, survival etc could still get you in trouble but in a situation of survival anything and everything goes. Besides Bicarbonate of...

Good luck with that in a storm when everything is drenched in water, you are wet and cold and you need a fool proof fire started.

As a kid about 50 years ago i fantasised i was a famous scientist and ransacked my Grandma's cupboards, especially the top shelves lol. we did crazy stuff back then including trying to dig to Australia however we only got three meters down and it ended up with a mud pond. Lol guess if my Grandma...

Warning, Before you try this be really careful. Its a life saver but it can be very dangerous if you dont use it properly. There are 3 main usages (Its a very old chemical) Your Grandma probably used it)) Main usage in order was Dissinfection, Clean water (Not recomended as the body retains it...

To steralise you only need a few crystals, pink water. Purple will burn the skin.

Keep Potasium promanganate in your neck chain but never with any fuel like sugars. It is good as it can sterilise wounds etc. But be warned Potasium Promanganate can be agitated by any glycerine product including brakeclean etc. Be careful.

I have several ways, the serious one is to carry Potasium Manganate 8g and Glyserin 2g BUT DO NOT Keep them TOGETHER (Seriously). Safer and easier, Keep a ferro rod, Lighter, Collect about 5 g of White birch bark and seal it in a straw, attach to keyring. People confuse silver birch and white...

Tampong in a straw is probably quite difficult, I am sure they are already well packed and water tight, Although you could seperate them into three and straw them then if needed use as Tinder or Female hygene appliance. I don't think it is possibl to compress a Tampong ingo a 11mm straw, but...

Yes you are correct on both accounts but they where more than Police.

I am British born Scandinavian Father, We moved to Sweden to live, I had British Passport and Norwegian Passport. I gained Swedish Citizenship. when you become 18 it is compulsary to do a year of national service. They refused me on the basis that i was a national security risk. I was relieved...

I prepare the straws on the basis that they can be multi use. but not too big. In this case as i always have fire capability and a multi tool they can be resealed. I never use comercial medicin, always carry Tea tree oil (Keep it seperated from the rest of the pack and it doesnt seam to like...

I figgued out that standard small straws as best for spices.

I am a computer scientist as well. I advise my friends to always make 3 copies in 3 different media and displace them with a minimum of 10 meters apart. The same goes for everything. Its a brilliant safeguard. In bushcraft make 3 small Packs and Stash in flight. In this way you always have a...

Jared, When you seal match, matches in a plastic straw always set up as head to foot and striker facing outwards, Just in case. Make sure they are safty matches though!. The preasure in the Straw will protect the heads but even if the crack you can still use the sulphur heads. Chop up the sticks...
