  1. Do yourself a favor when it comes to the ramen noodles and actually splurge a little bit and buy a higher quality ramen it really does make a difference and it's not that much more money

  2. I am a certified pool operator, one thing most people don't know, is liquid bleach degrades, so you don't want to run to the $ store, buy bleach, and expect it to retain its potency, you should have it, but rotate it from storage – to use. Always have some on hand, if SHTF and everyone else is fighting over toilet paper, you should slip in and pick up some bleach!

  3. The fuel in cheap lighters can evaporate over time. I wouldn't recommend buying them if you plan on storing them. Picking up a Bic or two is a far better option. Bic's are far more reliable, retain their fluid, are less likely to break/fall apart, shoot out large flames, and the flints last a whole lot longer. One Bic lighter can easily outlive three cheap lighters, and you can buy them at dollar stores at discounted prices. If you happen to see one on the ground, pick it up. If it has fluid, there's a good chance it still works. You can check the fluid levels on the darker colors by placing a powerful flashlight on the bottom.

  4. Chlorine can be removed from water after 24 hours by simply adding air, pouring back and forth between two jugs. Let it fall a foot and splash well. Once the chlorine kills all the pathogens, its job is done, and then it can be released to the air.

  5. When you stock up on wet wipes, keep the packages in a ziploc bag to keep them from drying out. If they are dry, don’t toss them. Just use them to dry your hands.

  6. Ramen doesn't store long. My husband bought up a 50 gallon trash can full for emergency. I had to dump all in the trash all expired and smelled foul when opened. FYI check your backup storage of Ramen it does go bad.

  7. I lost a finger that started as a simple cut. I did neglect the injury by the time I went to see doc. It was simply just to amputate or cut off my finger . Now a fart makes me Neosporin everything.
