Emergency Heater
This is an easy heater you can make very quickly and easily in the event of an emergency. All you need is: Bottle of Rubbing Alcohol (70%) Roll of Toilet Paper Metal container (empty coffee can, empty soup can, etc) Step one: Remove the cardboard from the roll of toilet paper. Step two: Place the roll of toilet paper in the metal container, force it in there to make it as tight as possible. Step three: Saturate the toilet paper with rubbing alcohol. (You will use most of the bottle) Step four: Light the heater and enjoy its warmth. In the video I placed the heater inside a portable grill so the heat could be captured and radiate thru the metal grill. This also serves a second level of protection from a accidental spill/fire.

With funds being limited, I went on ebay and purchased two 70 Watt Monocrystaline Solar panels for $129.00 each with free shipping. I got them from http://stores.ebay.com/sunsolarusa This company has a two thumbs UP recomm...
