Okay, I just saw something on the Discovery show Man, Woman, Wild I thought was pretty cool…  I am sure this is not good for the long term, but for a short term survival situation, pretty cool. I am a fan of Myke Hawke.  I have his book “Hawke’s...

Here is my ignorance showing.  I thought most water bottles I purchased in the camp or outdoor stores were safe for water consumption.  I guess not.  According to Green-Trust.org and Test Freaks that not all water bottles are made the...

Well, last weekend was a good one.  Not only because I celebrated Independence Day, it was also my Mother’s birthday (she turned 65), but I was able to get out and do a little camping too.  It was a hot and long one as well…  It was more of a...

Quite by accident, I came across video number seven of this series… I quickly found this project fascinating and had to share it with everyone… Following these words you will find 28 YouTube videos chronicling the project of building a solar...

On the heals of the DIY Washing Machine, I thought this would be a cool project that would work as well…  It is a DIY sink that you can build to keep things clean, including your mess kit, yourself, etc…  Have fun and enjoy.
