15 Items Every Prepper Should Hoard
I tend to agree with most everything on the list, especially batteries and toilet paper, as one can NEVER have enough of either, lol. I was glad to see he included items like tarps and cordage since these items can be more useful than most folks realize during a SHTF emergency. I do, however, take…

Urban Altoids EDC Kit
Normally, I’m not a big fan of makeshift EDC kits like this, but The Urban Prepper usually does a good job with this kind of stuff and this project is no different. To give you an idea of the unusual contents, he includes a mini Leatherman multi-tool, USB charging cable, and a mini ratchet tool…

How to Heat Your Tent With a Swedish Log Torch
This isn’t what I expected to see when I started watching this video. To be honest, I’d figured this guy was going to somehow bring a Swedish log INSIDE the tent (which would’ve been a bad idea) but I was pleasantly surprised to see what he chose to do and, more importantly, how well it…

Exploring the wilderness is a pastime for people around the globe. A routine day hike, bike ride or climbing excursion is as far as most people ever go. But what if you want to stay out longer?

DIY Salt-Water Survival Bottle (Compact Desalination Kit)
Now this is a really neat idea on how to make a portable/personal DIY salt-water desalination kit using a single-walled stainless steel water bottle (you don’t want it to be double-walled or “insulated” for this project) some 1/4″ copper tubing, a lot of solder, a single right-angle compression fitting, and that’s about it. The best…

How to Set Up Your Garage for Survival
If you’re like most of us, your garage is one of two things: It’s either a catch-all for the junk that won’t fit in your house anymore but that you can’t bear to get rid of, or it’s a place to store and work on your car or your hobbies. Either way, it has a…

DIY $30 Bullet Resistant Armor?
This DIY armor was hit with 9mm as well as various shotgun loads, including birdshot, buckshot, and a slug… and the DIY armor stayed intact! Unsurprisingly, it didn’t survive any 5.56 rounds, but if it did then THAT would’ve been a miracle and he should be patenting the process right now. In any case, they…
