One of my little hatchlings decided they would see what a crayon would do to my new LCD TV. When I saw the marks, I couldn't believe it. I know that LCD screens can be sensitive to touch etc... and I wasn't sure how I was going to get the stains off. Ouch... I did some searching around and apparantly WD40 or rubbing alcohol do the trick. What I also found was that I was not alone in my circumstances; there are planty of websites that offer condolences and information to help parents deal with coloring stains from their kids. In fact, even crayola has a complete guide to removing stains that have been created by their products. I didn't try WD-40 as there was some mixed reviews about it, so I started with the rubbing alcohol. I tried a mixture of about 50/50 water to alcohol with no luck. I then just went to pure alcohol (don't have a lot of patience). It took some gentle rubbing with a microfibre cloth, but it worked like a charm! What does this have to do with survival? Well, I stumbled across a great list of uses for WD40 during my research, and I had to let visitors of this site know about it. WD40 is one of the most useful compounds on the market, and should be considered a must in any home survival kit. Here is a link to over 2000 uses for WD40 (and some are pretty unconventional). It would be a good idea to print this off and save it in your surivival guide just in case you need to reference it. Enjoy! |

 The P-51 can opener is the big brother to the P38 opener that was standard issue to the United States Armed Forces during World War II up until the 80's. I have used both and like the P51 way better. It is larger than the P-38 and I find it easier to use. Some claim that these can openers were the greatest army invention ever, and there are many different uses for these little tools.
These things are cheap and you can find them on eBay and other places online. I would highly recommend packing one in your bug out bag and all of your survival kits. Click on the read more link on the right for a video of me using the P-51 can opener and for a list of various ways you can use this device. The P-51 and the P-38 may be the greatest survival tool you can have with you! |
