Poor Man Survival Self Reliance tools for independent minded people… www.PoorManSurvival.com ISSN 2161-5543 A Digest of Urban Survival Resources "Freedom has a thousand charms to show, That slaves, howe'er contented, never know." -- William Cowper I spent much of the weekend supervising the winterization of our cabin. Since having surgery the previous week, I’m unable to use my left arm for much so our good friend Dave helped again, reminding me to put that old RV antifreeze into the toilet [having lived so long in AZ I forgot to do this last year and the toilet tank cracked]. Another friend is driving me to the doctor today for a follow-up visit since I’m still not allowed to drive… I’m not looking forward to another hard winter! I can already see there will be plenty to do in the spring! Although we use hot flashes from the Poor Man’s Wife to heat our home, you might find this useful… How To Heat A Small Room For Free With the days and nights getting cooler, heating your home can become incredibly expensive.

If you have a small room which you need to heat, this clever life hack will make sure the room stays toasty without the huge cost.

The Skinny Witch shares her plan… I love the power of Freecycle. I managed to get enough terracotta pots to make six large candle space heaters. Now I made the mistake of using too many pots. With large ones on the outside, they were not as effective. So with a quick change out, we removed the largest pot and they performed perfectly. Now I learned something else, you will get what I am talking about after watching these two videos. The first one is how to make the type seen above, with hardware, the second is how to make one without the hard ware. I have combined the two. If you build a smaller one with hardware, then put a larger one over top as in the second video, then the effects are even better at warming the air around you.

In an established barter economy, the exchange of goods and services is typically done in a good-natured way with a bit of friendly haggling.
Diet Coke with lemon – didn’t that used to be called Pledge? Jay Leno Food isn’t what it used to be… A 2004 study conducted by the University of Texas examined USDA nutrition information for 43 fruits and vegetables in 1950 and 1999. The study concluded that there were noticeable declines in nutritional value between the two time periods. Calcium, phosphorus, Vitamin C and iron are just a few of the essential nutrients that have been reduced in the last 50 years. It appears that our food really is less healthy than it once was. How can we combat this? Experts recommend planting crops in soil that has been given time to recover after a harvest. Cycling your garden helps plants absorb fresh vitamins and minerals from the soil. Adding organic compost has a similar effect if cycling your garden isn’t feasible. Even “heirloom seeds” are hardly a representation of the foods eaten by our early ancestors, but with proper care, these plants can provide us with more essential nutrients than any multivitamin ever can and in a form that is easily digested by the body. There is much hype over the current health fad of eating gluten-free products and much of it is nonsense for most people. For some people it can cause serious health problems. Always see a doctor before you begin any kind of new health regimen. Amazing Anti-Inflammation Tea Combine green tea and ginger for beating inflammation. Boil 4 cups of water and add 2-inch (peeled & sliced) piece of ginger to the pot. Boil it another minute and add 4 green tea bags. Remove from heat and steep 2-3 minutes and then add a teaspoon of D-ribose for sweetness (found in most health food stores). ALSO NOTED…if you need an ingenious solution for a nagging problem, brew a cup of caffeinated tea and sip…the unique amino acid in teach (I-theanine) stimulates relaxing alpha waves in your brain that make you a better problem solver.
