Making a Penny Can Stove VIDEO

Two soft drinks cans, a bit of fibreglass insulation (or even a wad of toilet paper), a pair of scissors, a stout pin or small nail. And a bottle of ethanol-alcohol. That's all you need to make a very efficient, free camping stove.

It's the sort of mini-project which you can use not just to use when the power goes out but, more importantly, to have some fun while showing children or grandchildren that they don't have to sit helpless, hungry and cold just because the fools and criminals running the 'System' can't or won't keep them on. Self-reliance isn't only a matter of actual knowledge; first of all comes confidence that you can indeed look after yourself.

Give it a go, and let us know how you get on!
