Survival Girl Series: Make Your Own!

One of the most rewarding things in life is the ability create things. As a Prepper, I really enjoy “Do It Yourself” projects that help me to discover new ways for my family to become more self sufficient. One of my favorite things to do on a Saturday is scour through my folder of “How To” articles and pick out a family project to get involved in.

Here I’ve compiled this list with some of my favorite guides to get you started:

    You should also do one for kids there are TONS of articles out there with free DIY projects for kids. When my kids get bored I just tell them to go pick a project to do. The only catch is they have to clean up all the mess when they're done! ;-)

    CHECK THIS OUT!! can be used to repair or make almost anything. And it is reasonable $9 + $2 s&h. http://sugru.com/
    It is a rubber/plastic gunk that can be shaped and cures without heating. The uses on the site are brilliant.
