When a disaster occurs, you have to consider the possibility that lifelines will stop.
You might find that things you normally use—like water, gas, and electricity—are unavailable.
For example, what if you can’t use fire? Heating food and keeping warm could become difficult.
In that case, it might be a good idea to prepare firewood made from newspaper.
Tear newspaper into pieces, put them in a bucket with water, and break them down.
Wrap plastic wrap around a paper core, such as the core from plastic wrap or foil, and then wind the softened newspaper around it.
Remove it from the core and let it dry—your paper logs are ready.
They burn longer than regular wood and are light, so they’re easy to carry.
How to convert an AA battery into a D battery

There may be times when you need a size D battery but only have AA batteries.
For such situations, let’s learn how to turn a AA battery into a D battery.
It might sound tricky, but don’t worry.
Basically, you just wrap cardboard around the AA to make it the same thickness as a D battery.
You might even find this useful in everyday life.
However, this is only a temporary fix, so try it only when absolutely necessary.
By the way, you can make a size C battery this way too.
In conclusion
We introduced DIY disaster-preparedness items you can make using everyday materials.
These projects may look simple, but they can be a huge help in an emergency.
Follow each step carefully and try making these safety items with your family.
Preparing in advance leads to a safer, more secure life.
