We found a great tutorial to add to your arsenal of fire starting techniques. And when someone asks “got a light” you can add another twist to the old joke! 😉 The link is after our commentary…

Here you’ll find some of the simplest fire-starting tips around. With a clear explanation and photo demonstration, check out how you can use your flashlight and a small piece of fine steel wool to light a fire.

Let’s face it, lighting a fire can be fun and gives a curious sense of accomplishment that must he hard-wired into our emotional circuitry from very ancient days. However the main reason it makes us feel good is surely that it provides light, warmth and security – and it could even mean the difference between life and death if we’re faced with a real survival situation.

There’s so much interest in bushcraft these days that it would be easy to get carried away with the wide choice of fine, and sometimes expensive, products that are on the market – but before you kit yourself out for an adventure, it’s worth having a look for some “real survival” alternatives that can do the same thing just as easily. Because in a sense, survival is about resourcefulness – and if you take the “kitchen sink” it somehow removes some of the test of self-reliance, doesn’t it?

Steel wool is easy to find in the stores and can be ignited in many different ways; it catches fire because the surface area is greatly increased in a large number of fine strands, greatly reducing the ignition temperature of the steel. Passing an electrical current through fine steel will cause it to heat up beyond the ignition temperature due to its resistance – the finer the strands, the more surface area and the greater the electrical resistance.

Carrying a small piece of steel wool and a small 6-volt or 9-volt battery around as part of your survival kit looks like a great option as it is very lightweight. It’s important to keep the steel wool dry (and away from the battery!) so it’s best kept in a small plastic bag or waterproof container.

Using the mirrored cup of the torch is a great idea. The same method is used to generate power in some solar generators by using the focussed beam of sunlight to heat water into steam to power a turbine, if you want to know more, please try this: http://solarcellcentral.com/csp_page.html

The way I see it, the more methods for lighting a fire that we know, using whatever materials we might find around us, the better trained we will be to deal with a real survival situation. Enjoy!

This Crazy Off Grid Device Literally Makes Drinkable Water From Fresh Air:

According to NASA, the U.S. is expecting a 100-YEAR LONG MEGADROUGHT.

It's already begun. Ask the farmers in California. They know.

Every survivalist knows that water is of critical importance. You NEED an independent water source that you can count on!

As an interesting "survival rehearsal" - imagine that you turned the tap on right now and nothing came out. How long would you last?

But what if there was another water source literally hidden in plain sight. That's right, I'm talking about the atmosphere!

The amazing thing about getting water from the natural moisture in the air... is that it is ALWAYS available.

This gives you real water security!

� What Tinnitus Does To Your Brain Cells (And How To Stop It)

After 47 years of studies and countless brain scans done on more than 2,400 tinnitus patients, scientists at the MIT Institute found that in a shocking 96% of cases, tinnitus was actually shrinking their brain cells.

As it turns out, tinnitus and brain health are strongly linked.

Even more interesting: The reason why top army officials are not deaf after decades of hearing machine guns, bombs going off and helicopter noises...

Is because they are using something called "the wire method", a simple protocol inspired by a classified surgery on deaf people from the 1950s...

Most People Don't Have The Guts To Try This:

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.

Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:
