For days rain drenches the town, knocking out power and turning the streets into rivers. Everything is wet. Only a few savvy citizens would be able to build a life-saving fire without matches or a lighter. The Prepper's Survival Hacks teaches readers the ingenious tips and tricks to getting ready for the worst-case scenario. What can anyone do with a couple of plastic fast-food straws and dryer lint? Combine them into a 100 percent waterproof and incredibly easy to use fire starter. How about a few wooden boards and an old storm window? Build a cold frame that can extend fruit and vegetable growing season months after the harvest. Packed with simple, straightforward DIY projects, well-known prepping author, Jim Cobb, shows readers how to turn everyday objects and junk into life-saving tools. For example, who knew the lowly Altoids tin, is a prepper's best friend? Renowned for its durability and inexpensive price, the tin can quickly become a handy, pocket survival kit or even a small alcohol stove capable of bringing water to a boil in a pinch. The ingenious prepper contraptions are presented with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions that any reader can use to create a killer home survival kit.
