Me and my mother did this a lot (dumpster dive) whatever we could find that could be reupholstered, repurposed and useful we fixed the items and sold them at swap meets here in CA. I learned how to do this as young as 5 it was an adventure for me I never seen it as survival my mother made it fun but now as an adult I realize she was trying to provide for her children. Father left us and we were living from family member to family member even slept under a bridge. Life was hard my mother at times wouldn’t eat and gave me her last just so I wouldn’t go to sleep hungry. She saved enough from all the dumpster diving and had enough to get a small apartment and eventually got a job. Back then oh the adventures we had not realizing the things a mother would do for her children ♥️ God bless ALL mothers

"Jerry rigging" comes from the Second World War. The British referred to the Germans as "jerries," and towards the end of the war, spare parts for military hardware like tanks were so scarce that the Germans were forced to use whatever they could find and make it fit. This was referred to as "jerry rigging."

Jury mast - temporary mast until proper repair could be made. Jury rig, as a noun - the structure composed of spars, ropes, knots. Jury rig, as a verb - to fashion a temporary rig. I first learned of 'jury rigging' when I was learning a new knot. That knot was placed at the head of a temporary mast. That knot was first described in literature in the 1600s.

I have used roasting bags inside my homemade solar oven. I made it with a used a car tyre stuffed with newspaper, cardboard at the bottom. Completely cover the inside with aluminium foil and I use an old metal grill bit to keep the pan off the bottom. I put a double glazed window on top. The black matt of the tyre gets really hot. I cook our dogs rice in it. I put it in the oven the night before so it gets the first sun. I've done pizza and biscuits. I've also dried figs in it. I made another solar oven by lining a cardboard box with silver foil and cut one side shorter so I could put a piece of clear perspex on top. I heat water in a black spray painted jar. Did you know you can put eggs in there in the shell and they will cook without water. Great video!

@Vincent T. actually it was written by several Jews, and Greeks, and Romans. What ties it all together is; that all of it was divinely inspired by the same Sovereign God, no matter who was inspired by Him to write it. That's how 66 books, written over several thousand years by several different writers, still reads as the single cohesive textbook that they make up. You might want to ask yourself a question. Out of hundreds of texts, sacred to hundreds of different religions, why is it only THIS ONE that so many people feel SO compelled to ridicule and mock? What is it about this ONE group of texts that causes so many people to strike out against it? Maybe it's that THIS ONE is the only one that rings true. And that looking at themselves from God's perspective makes people uncomfortable because it makes them see the truth about themselves, that they are flawed and in need of fixing.

What is "cultured" butter? We've been making butter for years and never heard of "cultured" before; take heavy cream, churn and ta-da, butter. Another item to use instead of a windshield thing, is an insulation blanket material (about a R-12 rating). It is essentially the same thing, but comes in different widths. It is often used to insulate ductwork and crawlspaces. The shiney coatings are metallic and will not deteriorate as easily as the mylar (plastic) used on the windshield reflector. If taping is your thing, aluminum tape is what you need here. This stuff is available from a home centre. If you need just a small piece, a HVAC company might be able to help you out. Greetings from Alberta, Canada.

@juliebaker6969 3 жыл бұрын

Cultured butter is butter made from cultured cream instead of sweet cream. Culturing causes more of the butterfat to turn into butter rather than staying in the buttermilk. It is the buttermilk from cultured butter that the cultured milk product in the store that we know as buttermilk is meant to mimic.

Being a Yorkshireman, anything for free gets my approval LOL. Many of those improvised, though brilliant ideas, originated from the forces who, during times of war were often left with little to no option but to devise alternative methods for washing, cooking, and shelter. My old dad, for example, who saw action in Italy during WW2, said very little about his time in the forces. I remember one of his little snippets when he described how a few of his fellow soldiers painted the bonnets of army lorries matt black to absorb the heat from the sun and placed cooking utensils onto the painted bonnet surface to cook food, and heat water for brewing tea - which is not too dissimilar from your method. Talking of brewing tea - Britain’s National beverage for well over 150 years - being drunk by an American. I never knew tea was drank in America: being a Brit, I associate Americans with drinking coffee. It goes to show, we learn something new every day LOL. Thank you for another lovely video Christa.

I have no Central Heat & Air System so in the summers I rarely use the house oven as it can get quite warm inside without oven use, THIS IDEA IS PERFECT money saver on electric bills also. Now I can bake for the 10 grandsons 1 granddaughter and they don't have to wait for fall & winter to eat their favorites. Granny gets worn out just from the summer heat inside so this works for me, while they swim in the pool they will see the baking of the snacks to replenish their energy. Of course with youth that is always abundant no matter what. :) Though I may need more than 1 sun oven it is still very feasible.

Wonderful! Solar is always good.. When camping, easiest way is to place pot on spot of dirt and wrap aluminum around pot, cone shape...results the same...if raining and camping can make an oven out of a covered pan, place charcoal bricks on bottom and place an aluminum pie tin over charcoal, then bake; and for stove cooking (eggs, bacon) use a vented tin can and cook on top. Did these activities with girl scouts years ago...fun times. Enjoy your channel very much, you truly share so much, so well. Thank you and have a blessed day.

@@cindyrobertson3798 - Yes, the wind can knock her set up over and animals may be attracted to the smell of cooking food. There are lots of videos here on YT that will give you more ideas on how to build a solar oven, from a simple cardboard box to an elaborate one from wood, that you can pick and choose from for your level of handyness and what you have available. Best of luck to you! 👍👍

Summer cooking will go easy but winter will be challenging. Lol. We are prepping for solar power. We also ordered the beautiful big woodstove with a 40 gallon hot water tank attached. It’s made by the Amish and takes 8 months to craft. It’s the “Princess” stove. We are prepping for the ‘dark winter’- The psychopath G A T ES has announced that smallpox is coming.

Thank you for sharing, splendid idea and your bread looks delicious. I would like to mention though that the Saigon Cinnamon has high amounts of coumarin in it and is toxic when eaten in large amounts ( more than a tsp a day) It can cause damage to your kidneys, liver and lungs. Ceylon Cinnamon which is considered True Cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka and Southern India and has far less Coumarin making it a safer option, if you are a Cinnamon lover and plan to eat it everyday ♥

This inspired a thought - what if you put that solar oven just behind the windshield of a car with the doors closed? It'd get pretty hot and might prevent a gust of wind from toppling your oven. It might be harder to adjust to the sun over time but would make up for that with increased heat retention.

In Girl Scouts we baked in cardboard box ovens and flowerpot ovens and on top of modified #10 cans fueled by tuna cans filled with coiled corrugated cardboard soaked with paraffin (called Vagabond Stoves and Buddy Burners.) One of our favorite treats was individual pineapple upside down cakes. Use a a clean, empty tuna can. Place some butter and brown sugar and one pineapple ring in the bottom. Add yellow cake mix and bake. When it's done, invert it on your plate. It's a wonderful dessert!

I am trying to show/teach my new Daughter in law a few things when she brings the baby out, and this year I started with gardening, showing her the different ways I grow things and use what I have at hand... (she grew up in Calif. so she's possibly not that savy about Texas Country life) and next time they come out I will make a solar oven and see if I can cook us some peach cobbler. I think it should be easy enough if i start it as soon as they get here. I have peach trees and a can or two of biscuits, and can mix up some syrup and cinnamon and sugar to add to it. It's perfect timing because I just bought her a couple of sets of the screen things to go on the windows of her car to help keep her and the baby cool, along with a windshield sunscreen. Thanks for the wonderful idea. And I purchased a small crook pot for $10.00 at walmart last year and the inside bowl is black and comes out to wash and it would be perfect for this application. Stay safe and keep up the great work!

As a boy scout den mother I taught the boys how to bake chocolate chip cookies while camping using items everyone has around the house. A cardboard box, the type with th a lid. Line all inside parts with aluminum foil. Use 2 wire coat hanger to make the rack half way in it. A little disposable tin in the bottom holds charcoal. Each standard size of charcoal is 30°F so you can adjust the temperature to whatever you're cooking. We baked cookies and cupcakes and it worked perfectly every single time. Obviously not a solar oven but good knowledge to know in a pinch. I've been a dumpster diver for decades lol
