Three Importent Things to teach your Children

     The mind set of survival is a beauty in its self but being able to transfer that mentality is a whole new blessing in its self. Your children during the ages of 2-14 is when they are at the most vulnerable and need to be guided in the proper action in the case of a kidnapping attempt. Aside from the "beware of strangers" routine you should teach them to bite the arm of the attacker. To escape the attackers grip a hard chomp just about anywhere will make an attacker let go, usually. Next after escaping the thing after they escape the child should be taught to run to the nearest mom with younger children. If that is not possible they should run to a store.
     There are a few useful items your child should start to carry around at the age of 7-8. One of the things is a whistle. After they blow it a few times they should be instructed to only blow it in emergency situations. Another very useful item is a multi-colored flash light. This has a plethora of different uses one of them is if your child becomes lost at a fair or anywhere in general they should turn the flash light on. These are just a few ideas to keep your family safe. Thanks for reading enjoy.

Fire Starter Straws #2

Hola amigos, sorry for the delay in posting I have been real busy the past few days. The first step in making the fire starter straws is to seal one of the ends. Take your needle nose pliers and clamp one end of the straw like this:

Next you have to take the cotton and petroleum jelly mix and force it down into the straw using an ice pick etc. then you seal the top just like the bottom. The finished product should look like this:

There you go that's how to make a fire starter straw when needed cut open in the middle and fluff it up a bit and you are ready to go.

Here is a project i have been working on

This is an Alice pack frame for hiking and campouts. The tube running up the side of it is a water canister the whole frame is made out of PVC and it is made so it can hold water. It holds about a gallon which is very useful if you are on a hike. It is 3/4  inch PVC and the water canister is 2 inch. There is also a place at the bottom for a tube so you can drink while you are walking.
