If all your transactions are part of the formal economy, you’re going to have difficulties when the SHTF. After that, everything will be under the table and informal. If you’re not doing any of that now, you need to change some habits and learn how to do it while it’s not the only game in town.

The Formal Economy
28 November 2011TLUD
28 November 2011I made a TLUD a few days ago out of food cans and a piece of sheet metal. I set it on two pieces of rebar to allow the air to come up through the holes in the bottom of the big can.
It worked sort of okay when I tried it with small, random-size pieces of wood and bark. Had problems lighting it, keeping it going, and converting all the feedstock to char.
It worked really well when I used wood pellets. I had a good hot flame for cooking for about an hour, and all the pellets converted to charcoal.
Other stuff I need to do is make a support for holding whatever it is you’re cooking.
