Greetings!

I have SO much great info to share with you! But I will post more later this week!
BUT I thought I would share a awesome tip tonight!

How to make an emergency cook stove

These are so very easy and economical!!!! They will burn for about 1 and a half hours. It wouldn't hurt if you were to have a few of these on hand, also would be great to barter with! I will share two kinds that I found out about.

#1
  1 quart size NEW metal paint can with lid.( These can be purchased at your local hardware store)
  1 roll of toilet paper , remove cardboard tube
  1 bottle of rubbing alcohol , must be 70%

remove tube from toilet paper and squeeze into paint can. When wanting to use this as a emergency cook stove pour the rubbing alcohol over the toilet paper and light. This can will be stable enough to place a small to medium sauce pan on it. The lid it comes with is good to put it out.

#2
1 empty large tuna can
newspaper
1 bottle of rubbing alcohol (70%)

Same as above , but using the newspaper instead of the toilet paper. Stuff the newspaper tightly into the can and then pour the alcohol over it. Light.


REMEMBER.....The MOST important items that are MUST haves dont have to be expensive!

WATER
FOOD
HEAT/COOKING

Well, that's it for tonight.....Until tomorrow, Take care AND control over your own destiny!
Peace, Sherry

  1. Love it! I'll keep this on hand cause after seeing what happened when the power was out for just a few hours in sd, I hate to think of how it would be in a real disaster.
