Can-O-Heat

The other day I took a coffee can and made one of these. It's a little wood stove and it worked great!



Such a simple device, and yet it does the job with next to no wood at all. All you have to do is load it with some tinder (dry leaves, grass, navel lint), and then slowly add some twigs and you have yourself a roaring stove top to cook some food. I can't believe we spend 400, 500, 600 bucks on an stove, when all you need to do is find a metal can and get the same results!

I put a few cups of water in a pan and in a short time, I had a nice rolling boil going. Next I made some soup, then I cooked some sausages on it. Hell the day after Thanksgiving, I cooked some turkey and biscuits on it. And for the fun of it, I took water, got it to simmer, then added some grass and leaves and some small twigs and made tea. And here's the weird part .. it smelled like TEA!! Exactly like you fancy Earl Grey tea in fact. I actually regretted not tasting it.

So everyone out there has a stove that not only cost money to buy, but also cost money every time you turn it on. And as usual, there is a free alternative that NO ONE uses! STUPID!! Excuse Me for a moment as I pray.

"Dear sweet Jesus who I love and adore. Please turn My life back around to the day I was born. Let My parents decide they don't want to raise Me and have them drop Me off at some remote location on the globe where there are NO people so I would have to be raise up by a pack of wolves. Let Me live off the land and not have the marvels of modern technology (But somehow let Me know OF those marvels so I can use My knowledge to create a lifestyle to off the land). Let Me build fires for heat and cooking, build a hut out of tree branches, and build weapons out of honed rocks. Let the meaning of "get a job" be non-existing from My mind. Let My right hand be My source of sexual desires. Let My forms of entertainment be to lay on a big rock and take in the suns rays, or to stare at the vast universe at night. I guess what I'm asking dear Jesus .. is that I have a life like on the movie 'Castaway', ... minus the massive plane explosion! I ask you this Jesus, in your name, for My eternal happiness. Amen."

"Oh yeah, one last thing dear Lord. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, can you magically make a used coffee can appear next to Me. Thank you. Amen again."
