    Kitchen DIY: Coffee Brewing Hack
    Buy at Amazon

    I don’t drink a lot of coffee, so maybe I don’t fully appreciate this coffee brewing hack, but since I love DIY solutions to problems, I wanted to show an awesome hack James from survivalpunk.com thought of in order to brew coffee using nothing but a glass carafe, a filter, and a cut off top of a soda bottle.

    If you cut the bottom off of a 20 ounce soda bottle you can insert it into the top of a glass carafe (or bottle with a large neck).  Put a coffee filter into the top of the soda bottle and fill with he appropriate amount of coffee and you can pour water into the filter and have coffee drip into your glass.

    I am more of a tea drinker so I am more likely to do this with loose tea, but the idea is the same.

    Hope this is useful to you.

    After this post went live, I had a lot of requests to review french presses for coffee making.  I don’t know why because I said I don’t drink coffee, but I did get one.  I used it to make tea.  It did a good job and I liked it, but it took too long for something I drink by the gallon.

    Coffee Can Toilet Paper Hanger for Camping
    Buy at Amazon

    I don’t drink coffee, so this took me a while to get a plastic coffee container, but once I did I made a very quick Coffee Can Toilet Paper Hanger to take when we go visit the property.

    This is a pretty simple little DIY camping hack that makes life so much easier.

    Being a prepper, and working on a piece of land that is an hour away from my home means I like to keep a roll of Toilet paper in the car, in the truck, in the job box on the property, in my Bug out bag, and anywhere else I can think of.

    The problem is that if just thrown in the back of a car the paper gets ripped, or wet, or nasty.

    This simple coffee can toilet paper hanger for camping makes life much easier as well as more hygienic.

    1. First cut a slit long enough for toilet paper. (If you put the slit opposite of the handles so you can hold and pull)
    2. Then thread the TP in the slit and put roll of TP in container.
    3. Put the lid back on and once again.
    4. Now you have a TP holder for camping!
