So I kept forgetting to bring my glasses to the studio.  I still have lots of things to do. Well putting a hole in a cheap measurement is the way to go for quick measurements.

Tarp-Tying Tips

If you have a tarp or space blanket, using rocks in the corners to tie into knots will make a much more stable shelter than will just weighing down the corners.

Crock-Pot Fermenting Yogurt From Probiotic Capsules

 

Back when I was having my teeth done. The dentist had me on clindamycin. I made sure to take probiotics during for 2 months after treatment. So my gut would be colonized with the right kind of bacteria to knock down the chance of me getting C-Diff.

Now I store probiotics with all my meds both live cultures and the other kind. I even use the live culture to make yogurt. I know after a few generation it would convert back to the strongest probiotic bacteria. But we are talking 1 crock pot of yogurt per pill.

It really extends the pills/supply’s.

These were not even close to military spec. In fact probably expired when I got them.

I bought them a long time ago. They were supposed to be Military M.R.E. With heaters. if they were sold as camping or some other kind of M.R.E. then that would be ok. But they said 100% military issue. I think they were expired M.R.E.’s and repackaged then sold as new.

Buy candles here.

Candle clocks are one of the ways that ancient people attempted to use natural phenomenon to keep accurate record of the time during the day. They consist of a long thin candle, which is marked at even intervals. When the candle is lit it burns down at a relatively steady pace, and by keeping track of which mark the flame is at, you can get a rough estimate of how much time has passed since it was lit.
As for the timer you can use any weight even coins.

You could even use incense and a ruler. Heck smokers do this all the time. A cigarette is about 5 min. 🙂
