RustyOne User ID: 1133278 Sweden 10/17/2010 01:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I cannot say enough good things about a solar cooker. You can make one easily, as simple as a piece of glass and an old tire...but ones already made are also very handy to keep you from using non-renewable fuel or chopping down all the trees and bushes around you. I used a Solar "HotPot". It has 5 1/2 quart capacity and can cook a hot meal in good sunshine rather quickly. It can also boil up water for sterilizing and drinking. [link to solarcooking.wikia.com] [link to www.realgoods.com] I use mine often just to try new things and to get used to the idea of cooking in the sun. Where I live, the saying, "hot enough to fry an eye", is true. I consider it as important as my outdoor clothes dryer and basket of clothespins... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 845302 United States 10/17/2010 02:34 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Recently, I bought more salt, kerosene, and 9mm ammo, found a few more good used lanterns here and there, and finally picked up a washboard. I’m a bit disappointed with the ten foot underground concrete and block 8 x 8 storage/storm/root cellar I built by hand under my shed last summer. It is cold enough, just, to store all my emergency food in, staying between 42 in the winter to no higher than 68 in the summer. But it isn’t as dry as I had hoped, and stays around 75 – 80% humidity unless I run a humidifier. That means I have to keep my seed and grain in tight containers down there, and that’s an inconvenience. When the power goes, I will have to try to keep it as dry as possible with salt. Until then, the dehumidifier will just have to stay down in the hole. I have three full 20 lb. propane tanks, and am trying to decide if I should get more, or just break down and buy an 80 lb. tank. Price will probably force me to just get more of the twenty pounders. Over the last few years, I got a kerosene stove, a nice canner and canning supplies, a rowboat, rainsuit, waders, large ice tongs, grain grinder, multiple 55 gallon barrels, multiple crosscut saws, a CB radio, well over a ton of salt, multiple firearms and ammo, numerous oil lamps, all sorts of seeds, many shovels, dozens of animal traps and snaring wire, gallons and gallons of booze, 25 lbs. of pool shock, an adaptor to let me use my gas grill’s propane tank on my camp stove, a steel security door on my house, rechargeable walkie-talkies, thousands of pounds of canned and dry food, and I forget what all else. It haunts me that I still don’t have any gas masks, nor any sort of a Geiger counter, nor even a stovepipe for the emergency woodstove still in its box in my garage. I don’t know why I’m dragging my feet on these items. Oh, and I would like to install a nice high antennae for my crank-up shortwave radio. And a solar battery charger. And some antibiotics. And I’d like to build a nice setup that would allow me to distill water using wood for fuel. I could use my pressure canner, but I’d really like something that would be able to process larger quantities of water at a time. …I think if I bring home another used kerosene heater to store away in my garage, my wife just might leave me. Likely not, but she’d probably at least consider mentioning it. I only have 40 gallons of kerosene now; eventually I think I’d be happy with 110 gallons, two 55 gallon barrels full. I want to build an outdoor stone and concrete wood-fired oven/grill/rocketstove combo in my backyard soon. Just haven’t decided exactly where yet |
