in case you need a reliable and nearly infinite powerful source of energy, DIY pure thermonuclear fusion.

build a linear proton source (hydrogen cations) then create a first accelerator that should accelerate your protons. using electromagnetic induction coils you can redirect the protons to an even more powerful accelerator. they should reach a higher mass and can therefore be injected into a tokamak and create the required chain reaction. the power generated by the tokamak is sufficient to power the synchrotron and a place like the state of new york. you just need water.

awesome, no?

[Anonymous No.14290]

>>14269
how do we collect this energy though?

For example nuclear reactors simply boil water to move turbines.

hm. indeed the tricky part is to build the turbo-alternator groups and heat exchangers, which will both play the role of cooling the complex and converting the heat into power. then the transformers and all the wiring.

but nothing's impossible if you're a good plumber.

Realistically. Consider this: Are you really going to have Rubbing Alcohol laying around? Are you going to be able to cook off whatever amount you actually do have?
Yes these are neat little stoves you can make. But understand if you NEED to rely on something like this to heat and try to ration 3 meals a day for XX days. How long will it last you? Consider as well that you might have friends or family with you and their needs as well.
My buddy and I use this type of fire to boil water for tea when we're out in the bush. Not the exact same as OP but a bit larger. Coffee Can with a metal pop top and an entire roll of Toilet Paper stuffed inside.

As important lasting those first 3-4 days is. Survival is you lasting weeks or even months.

this would only have worked out if it was built before the snow fell, or if there was enough snow after that to fall on it and insulate it, but it never happened

If you try it again. Dig down a good foot into the snow (if you can) first for your base. Use any snow you bring up to build up walls around your shelter. Even a short wall will act as a wind breaker but don't spend too much time in it. But in the long run will greatly cut down windchill.

[Anonymous No.14692]

Quick snaps outa my SAS Survival handbook for you guys.

[Anonymous No.14710]

The type of shelter you build will depend upon: the materials available, the tools available, what are you sheltering from (Wind,Cold,Snow,Rain,Insects, and so forth).

How long do you intend to remain at the location? Snow caves and natural holes are ideal if you are on the move and do not need a permanent structure.

Size will depend upon the number in the party.

Take your time over building a complex structure and rest frequently. Over-exertion which produces sweating should be avoided.

All shelters MUST be adequately ventilated to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning and allow moisture to escape. Two holes are needed - have one near the top and one near the entrance. In snow shelters the holes must be regularly checked to ensure that they have not become blocked by snow or ice.

Regularly clear accumulated snow from any entrance tunnel to ensure that it does not become blocked.

The smaller the shelter the warmer it will be inside but, since it will not be possible to heat the shelter to many degrees above freezing. you will need a little time to adapt to the environment.

my friend, a leanto shouldn't take you several days, nor even a day to make.
I took a winter survival course years ago.
first test: get dropped off an hour outside of town. we'll be back for you in two days.

They left me with two chocolate bars, a bottle of water, bottle of gatorade, a box of waterproof matches, two flares, some rope, a backpack (holding all of this shit), a hatchet, flashlight, a small cooking pot and my own sleeping bag.

Right away, I scouted out a few minutes' walk from the point they dropped me off (not right out in the open, but close enough to see/hear movement - this way, I was still in the thick of the woods, away from the wind)
Hang up the backpack, grab hatchet and start choping some excess of a downed pinetree, while stamping my feet around (easier to avoid getting your feet wet later when your boots come off ;)
Once I've done that, I find a thinner tree, chop it down (roughly 5 to 6 foot tree, to wedge against downed tree I just cleaned up)

[MisterSexypants No.14773]

>>14741
leave the pine branches on that one. hatchet a pivot in the snow, and joust that bitch in there. if the snow is too soft, then youll have to tie it off with rope, or have another support near the base.
After this, I went around to the surrounding trees, and hacked off the large pined branches, and kept tossing them evenly overtop the backside of my leanto. It doesn't have to be fancy, its only temporary shelter - but you do want to make it fast. Nightfall is coming, it's cold, and you need shelter.
Once all that is done, and you've already stamped down a spot within the leanto, throw more pine/leaves/whatever the fuck down inside as bedding to rest your sleeping bag ontop of.

Now, start making that fire! :D
Get the pot once you're fired up, and boil some snow (drinking water) you might not be so lucky to have more bottled water.
Keep an eye out for berries and tree sap. You should be aware which berries are poisonous, and which ones you can boil the shittyness out of, for edibility.

[MisterSexypants No.14791]

>>14773
The first night, I slept so damn good.
Woke up, fire was still going, worked it back up to a blazing holy shit, boiled more water, berries, had a ghetto breakfast, tore into half a choco bar, just cause the berries tasted like wood.
Built an extension onto my leanto, and curved it around the fire, and it reflected the heat nicely.
The winter survival crew ended up coming back in the afternoon, trolling us. The test was only for 24 hrs.
Didn't have to drink my piss :)

[MisterSexypants No.14799]

>>14791
I went back a few times, as I worked with a guy in charge of the winter crew. ended up liking the winter survival shit, and tried getting a position to instruct, but at the time I couldn't get time off to get my tickets with the government.
yet...I could sleep outside in the woods. and get paid for it.
yeah :/
after this, I became a graphic designer for a newspaper. never made a leanto there :(

also might mention building stuff like this gives you better judgment of how much you can do in a survival situation, some things seem easy enough in theory, in reality you might use every last bit of strength you have and that would put you in a really bad situation

1. Essentials

Begin by preparing yourself to be a survivor. That means preparation in every sense. This section is concerned with making sure that you have the right equipment for any expedition you undertake. It introduces the idea of carrying a pocket-sized kit of carefully selected key survival aids - which should go with you everywhere.
A knife is your most important survival tool. It must be chosen and used carefully and it must be kept in perfect condition.
Equally important is the personal preparedness, so that you are both physically and psychologically equipped to deal with the stresses and hazards of survival conditions. You mus have a clear understanding of survival needs, especially of the need for - and ways of obtaining - water and salt.

[Anonymous No.17731]

The main elements of survival are Food, Fire, Shelter, Water, Navigation and Medicine. To put these in order of priority we use the acronym PLAN. No matter where you are in the world this will never change be it the arctic, desert, jungle, sea or seashore.

P - for Protection
You must ensure that you are protected from further danger, ie impending avalanche, forest fire or exploding fuel. Always stay on the scene of the incident as long as it is safe to do so and then make sure you are protected from the elements. This means making a shelter and often lighting a fire. There are several reasons why you should always stay at the scene:
1 You utilize the wreckage for shelter, signaling etc.
2 It's a bigger signature on the ground, making it easier to find.
3 There are probably injured people that cannot be moved
4 By staying where you are you conserve energy.
5 Because you have booked in and out of having stayed on the route, rescue time will be minimal.

[Anonymous No.17749]

>>17731
L - for Location
The next step after building a shelter is to put out emergency signals. You must draw attention to your position. Do this as soon as possible to help the rescuers.

A - for Acquisition
While waiting to be rescued, look for water and food to help supplement your emergency supplies.

N - for Navigation
Good navigation will keep you on route and will often avert a survival situation. But if you find yourself stranded, always stay where you are.

i actually tried this and it worked like a piece of shit

you have to put a whole half bottle of HEET for it to burn properly, and even then it burns out in like 10 seconds. just get a small propane canister with a pocket rocket and you'll be fine

[Anonymous No.19633]

wow was just thinking of starting one of these.

I got a swiss army knife at a garage sale, its sweet.

2 things you'll need for survival: First a garbage bag -used for the water hole thing where water drips down the bag with a weight in the middle.
Second rope or sturdy twine which you can use to manipulate your garbage bag, hold the cover of a shelter down (tarp), and of course it has many other uses.
But I wanna emphasize the knife most, you can kill animals, groom yourself, carve stuff like better weapons, use it on logs for building, cut tindle, cut the animal you've killed to get the meat.
