Winter Boot Hack (to avoid slips and falls on ice)
Winter is coming and that means icy roadways and driveways, both of which could wind you up in the hospital if you’re not careful. Worse, if it’s SHTF and there are NO doctors to help then you could be out of luck for weeks or longer. Don’t let that happen to you! Here’s a nifty…

With only a few tools (all of which can apparently be purchased online), you can seemingly pick almost any padlock on the market. Unfortunately, this guy didn’t…
