Bow Drill Part 1 Making the Set
Posted: 25th February 2013 by admin in Fire, How To, Survival Skills, Survival Tools & MachinesPrimitive skills that our ancestors used to survive, are often viewed as antiquated and rather useless with all of today’s technology and advancements in survival gear. Today, we buy sharp tools rather than relying on flint knapping. Fires are started with matches or lighters. Animal hides are either bought at a store or taken to a professional to handle. While modern convenience is nice, it is also beneficial to learn these old ways. It is actually rewarding to work with one’s hands and really get back to basics. It allows you to experience the same things your ancestors did and really connect on another level. Today’s survivalist experts like to teach some of those primitive skills simply for a lesson [...]
Hand Powered Washing Maching
Posted: 18th June 2012 by Modern Day Redneck in How To, Making what you need, The Pioneer LifestylesTags: hand powered washing machine, pioneer washing machine, washing your clothes withou electricity
I came up with this design for a hand powered washing machine using plastic drums and a double plunger system a while back. The wringer in the middle makes for a user friendly back and forth motion from the soap to rinse tubs. The scrub board if needed fits between the wringer and the plunger bracket. After adding the homemade liquid soap, the load of clothes and letting them soak for a few minutes, you are ready to wash. I found out there is kinda a trick to the plunging. You get into this rhythmic motion and the plungers start rocking back and forth to were they plunge the ends and middle making it where you don’t have to agitate the [...]
Solar Dehydrator
Posted: 27th April 2012 by Modern Day Redneck in Canning and Preserving, Food Storage, How To, Making what you need, Survival Food StrategyThis is the new Indirect Solar Dehydrator I finished last week. The windows off to the side collect the heat, the metal plates inside the windows heat up and put out more. There is a screened hole going into the cabinet and a DC fan pulls the heat up and through the Dehydrator. The fan is powered by a small solar panel sitting on top of the Cabinet. I needed the space to dry all the herbs the wife is growing. Then we bottle them and sell the herbs. Pretty cool huh? Thanks for stopping by.

DIY Shoe Repair The notion of a cobbler conjures up images of an older man with a thick grey mustache bent over a wooden bench, using a wooden hammer to nail leather soles by candlelight. Few people would think to take their shoes to a cobbler to be repaired. When soles start to wear down and straps break, shoes are thrown away. However, the problems that prompt most people to throw their shoes out can usually be fixed with a minor repair. In fact, you can easily make many minor repairs yourself. Here’s how you can fix your own shoes to extend their life and reduce waste: Cracks and Splits Over time, leather and rubber will crack and split, creating [...]

How To Make Char Cloth When considering the most basic forms of survival then the choices are clear. You have to priorities shelter, food, fire, water and defense. Your shelter is not going to win prizes for luxury home design, and your food won’t win awards for fine cuisine. But one thing that is always the same, and always essential, is fire. One way you can make sure you’re not going to be caught unawares with fire making is to make sure that you have some good supplies of firelighter and tinder ready and waiting for when you need them. Whilst there are always the options of using pine resin and Silver Birch bark as fire starting aids, don’t overlook an [...]

I have been really busy the last couple of weeks building a Solar Bath House. When completed, the water will be pressured from the harvested rain water through a 12v on demand pump. It will then be heated in the batch water heater and delivered into the Bath House. Inside, the bathroom will have a home made composting toilet, sink and a bathtub/shower combo made from a horse trough. Light will be from solar lighting during the day and oil lamps at night. Here are some pictures of what has been built so far. Composting toilet with saw dust bucket on the side. Cute flower box. [...]

Sunday was going to be my day to do whatever I wanted but the wife had other plans. Right off the bat her honey do list was handed to me and this was on the #1 spot.

Posted: 29th April 2011 by Julie@SeriousSewing in How To, Making what you needTags: Teach Yourself to Sew
Whether you’re preparing for disaster-related self-sufficiency or just like the idea of making your own things, sewing is an essential skill for anyone who wants the Pioneer Living lifestyle. It seems simple, right? You get a sewing machine, you cut some fabric, you feed the fabric into the machine and come out with a new dress. Easy peasy! Only nothing is ever as easy as it seems. Many beginners buy their first sewing machine, take it out of the box and freeze. All those parts and bits and pieces. What are those little round circle thingies for? And why are there two cords connected to one plug? It’s enough to make some people pack their machine away and never look [...]

Time Saving Sewing Shortcuts
Posted: 8th October 2010 by milandred in How To, Survival SkillsTags: sewing
Guest post by Julie Eason of SeriousSewing.com I have a confession to make- I am a lazy seamstress. Well, let me retract that statement. I’m not lazy as much as I’m impatient. As soon as that vision of a finished garment gets into my head, I’m itching to have it finished. And when you’re in a survival situation, every minute is precious. Over the years, this lack of patience has led me to come up with some time-saving shortcuts. I hope they’ll help you as well: 1. Use pattern weights. I only use patterns around half the time, but when I do use them I don’t want to take the time to pin every piece down. So, I just lay [...]
