Crystal Iodine

[MizerD]

Hi guys, just wanted to share a video I found which shows you how to make Crystal Iodine at home. This tid bit of info is really interesting to me because Iodine is not only good for water purification, but it is also a very good disinfectant as I'm sure we all know.
Although I'll probably never need to make any, if SHTF and my reserves of steriTabs and matches runs out, having the know how to make my own Crystal Iodine could be invaluable. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CLhwkFKLdPA

As a side question, does anyone else focus on the manufacture of key survival items which could be considered as "lifed" or single use items? For example learning how to make candles, matches, plasters, steriTabs, batteries, soaps etc.

Thanks for sharing

I can make candles (technique is the same no matter what you use as the fuel part, research "Tallow Making" for a sustainable option)

Matches: Don't they use some nasty (and not commonly available) chemicals? Would it not be simpler to learn alturnative fire lighting

Soap is always a good idea, by making it yourself you'll know exactly whats in it.


A Great reminder that most of the stuff we rely on (as 21st Century, First World humans) is a Finite Resource..... Being preppers just means our stock levels start higher


Please remember, Iodine is not good for some health conditions.... Including Pregnancy
