Charcoal is a solid black substance predominantly composed of carbon. It is created by burning wood or other vegetation via “pyrolysis”, which greatly limits the supply of oxygen, causing incomplete combustion.
Charcoal has a surprising number of uses and very interesting physical and chemical properties. It has great usefulness in survival situations. Knowing how to make charcoal is a useful skill, and one that is easy to learn and practice. This video by Primitive Technology shows how to make charcoal using the mound method.
The mound method – as demonstrated in the video – is a very old process for creating charcoal that is still used in many countries. This is done by stacking the wood above the ground then covering it with dirt. This method is very versatile because it can be used for infrequent small scale charcoal production and yet is also adaptable for large scale production.
Here are some interesting uses of charcoal during a survival scenario:
1. Mask Odors. Charcoal is commonly used to as an odor absorber. Mesh bags of charcoal can be used to eliminate odors from shoes. Use powdered charcoal to absorb human scent on snares or traps by rubbing onto the surfaces.
2. Water Filter. Granulated charcoal makes an ideal water filtration medium. It can remove particulates and other chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides and fuels from water. Use as one of the layers in a multi-layer filtration system. High-end water filters such as the Berkey use compressed blocks of activated charcoal and have astonishing filtration characteristics – able to remove particles, food coloring, pesticides, highly toxic pollitants and many microorganisms from water.
3. Sun Reflector. Use charcoal in combination with lip balm or vaseline for camouflaging skin in a survival situation. It can also be used under the eyes to reduce glare and lower the risk of snow blindness.
4. Writing. Charcoal can be used as a writing or drawing instrument. You could leave messages for rescuers if lost, however bear in mind that rain will wash away charcoal writing.
5. Fire for Cooking and Heat. Charcoal can be used as a fire fuel; it is easily ignited and can provide heat for warmth and cooking.
6. Detoxification. Activated charcoal is commonly used in certain types of poisoning because of its great ability to adsorb toxins of numerous types into itself.

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:
