Emergency preparedness


So my mom and dad went up to the cabin for conference and I wasn't able to go. I did get to go with my Mother and sister in law to their family get together and we had a little emergency preparation class. one of the things we made were little home made heaters. You buy one of those small little paint cans, cheap toilet paper, 77% rubbing alcohol, a lighter and duct tape. Put the roll of toilet paper in the can and fill it until the roll is saturated and almost submerged in the alcohol, then seal the lid down by pounding it with a rubber mallet and duct tape the lighter and a coin (to open can) to the can and you have a 12 hour heater. You can use it for a while and then seal it back up and use it more later too. Pretty cool and cheap. Just thought I'd pass that one on. Hope you guys are all well and watching conference, its been awesome so far.
