Turn a Tin Can into a Wind-Resistant Lantern
By splitting the soda can open and placing the candle inside, you are creating a few different effects: 1.) Light is amplified by the aluminum’s reflective properties 2.) Heat is also amplified, creating a space-heating effect 3.) The can will make the ordinary candle wind-resistant, which is your greatest enemy when trying to keep fire going in the elements.
How To Get Clean Water
By connect a source of water to an empty jar/glass/bottle with a piece of cloth, a siphon effect is created and water is slowly transferred from one location to the other, leaving behind dirt and other physical contaminants. Once the process is complete, you still must boil the water to kill off any remaining micro-organisms.
Natural Mosquito Repellent
Always protect your skin from exposure when the chances of being bitten is high, especially if you are in a part of the world where mosquitoes pack a little more than an itchy punch. Herbs like rosemary and basil can help fend off these pests, but one of the most powerful outdoor plants that have shown to be naturally anti-mosquito is fern. If you find fern growing wild rub it all over you and take some for later.
Cereal Box Microwave
Lining the boxy with aluminum foil makes it easier for the light to be concentrated within the box.
Needle And Leaf Compass
If you don’t have a compass (or a super smartphone) you can use this clever method to help you tell which way is north. The reason why you have to rub the needle with your shirt is that it creates static electricity. This is the only step worth noting, because it is this electro-magnetic charge that is going to allow the needle to find the earth’s poles.
The emergency oil lamp
This one is probably the niftiest trick there is, using only a soda can, a cloth or paper towel wick, and olive oil. The oil-saturated wick can maintain a flame for hours.
