Hugh, I have noticed over the years that when I read about water purification during bad times that Calcium Hypochlorite is mentioned as the way to go for storage and use. Typically, it is suggested to buy an abundance of the material so one can be charitable and pass out small plastic bags of the chemical with instructions for its use to purify water. I’ve never before seen simple and concise instructions that ANYONE could understand for treating drinking water with Calcium Hypochlorite. Using what I’ve gleaned from the Internet, with numerous revisions, I believe I have the information that …

I tried something new this time. SurvivalBlog received a CD in the mail with an audio recording about sharpening, and I discovered a few things: Namely, transcribing is a whole different skill set than editing. My apologies to the author; I did the best with formatting that I could. I hope I got it right. Let’s stick with written articles from now on.

Buy several books on sharpening and get some initial knowledge. Study the angles on the blades and tools you want to sharpen, make notes on these, …
I think I’m on to something– solar cooking. I’ve been interested in it for a long time but never got around to doing much about it. Writing for SurvivalBlog gave me an excuse, actually a duty, to check this subject out. I plan to do at least two reviews on solar cookers and hope to do more since there are a variety of them on the market. You can also make your own, and I’ll look into that, too. Why solar? Well, being able to cook without requiring fuel is huge. Not only can you cook, you can make water …
