Ribbon Fire Stove is easily made with an Altoids gum tin and a hacksaw. It brought 2 cups of water to a light simmer in a US Army canteen cup (no lid)

Just before it gets dark, I heat up this huge coffee pot of water on the camp stove to boiling, and pour it into a bucket and mix it with cold water. I get a towel and a pair of flip flops and step behind a few trees and wash off. My biggest problem is gettin my hair clean; it's down past my shoulders. I keep myself in good shape: if you catch a sight of me washing, and want to stare, I figure that is your problem, not mine. I shave, and use clean clothes every day.

I have been with people who simply don't wash, change clothes, or shave the entire weekend. What the heck is the deal with that? Don't they know they smell terribly?

Being in the Army makes you enjoy being dirty?

How exactly does that work? Explain that to me. I will wait right here. I can't wait to hear your logic on that one. Let me get some popcorn and a drink. This should be good.
Unknown Truth

So you enjoyed being dirty in the Army and decided to make it a permanent part of your life? I didn't.
Boris Karloff

So you would be totally happy camping out with a bunch of homeless people; how dirty other people are does not concern you?

Wow what deep emotion

My first Everything Nice stove from the design on the World Stove website. - Instead of a pot, I used a rice cooker on my wood stove when I went on canoe trips. Works great for boiling water, rice, pasta, soup. Also made some excellent cakes (need to put a pie plate on top and add some charcoal to brown the top.) The coffee can is the outer can, the Campbell Chunky can was the inner can (I removed the label before the burn), and the Del Monte peach can was the riser. Followed WorldStove's favorite method and used a broken tea light candle to start it (the white chunks) The wind blew out the flame. Then tried some alcohol on a tissue. But the wind blow it out again. Finally put the rice cooker on it which acted as a wind screen and it stayed lit. The pellets glowed near the air holes in the inner can. Since the outer can is perfectly clean on the inside after the burn, the air must have entered the inside can through the hole. I haven't figured out how to make it burn in a TLOD fashion. Perhaps that will only work if the outer can is hot enough to create enough air pressure difference. Or maybe I need to punch the holes on the inside can higher up. Nearly all the pellets turned to char except for the layer of pellets at the bottom of the can. There was no ash. There was no smoke as long as there was a flame. At the end of the burn, there was lots of smoke. Part of the inner just above the holes turned blue after the burn. The outer can never lost its paint, and the paper ...

Here we have an easy to make survival kit. Making the kit from scratch will cost about 0 but if you already have some of the stuff it will be much less. There are plenty of survival experts that will show you how they survive with extensive knowledge and the bare minimum equipment. I intend to show you how a normal person with basic wilderness survival skills can survive comfortably with reasonable equipment. The kit contains: Military casualty blanket, military poncho, 3 liter soda bottle, 550 para-cord, Cold Steel Bushman, small fixed blade knife, emergency blanket, fishing kit, slingshot band, slingshot ammo, aluminum pot, 2 days of dehydrated food, coffee filters, Frontier water filter straw, Micropur MP-1 water purification tablets, ziplock bags, rubber bands, and a magnesium fire starter.

The Porcupine stove is my version of an adjustable passive air induction alcohol stove based upon designs originally devised by NCHiker1970 and TerraFirma369. Many thanks to both of these fine inventive gentlemen. I called it porcupine because it has quills and a tail The addition of aluminum tubing JB welded to the internal structure allows for the integrated pot stand. The screw holders are made from hard aluminum strips cut from wedding tin lids and are reminiscent of automobile door and dash clips. These "clips" are captured in the folds of the tooling foil band. The screw head is constrained by a release button which is normally used as a nocking point on a bow string Any small diameter flexible tubing will suffice as a substitute. The use of an artist's palette cup increases the alcohol volume to 3/4 oz as opposed to 1/2 oz tea light cups. Implements of destruction are required to remove the cups from the clip base. And no, I didn't take twenty seven eight-by-ten color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one. www.archive.org
