As the world becomes more technologically advanced, it seems we’re drifting away from the things that connect us to nature. One of the most valuable things about camping is the opportunity to accomplish tasks without the aid of technology. Warmth must be created with kindling and fire rather than flicking a switch. A place to sleep must be assembled piece by piece rather than just walking into a room. The trend doesn’t stop when it comes to food, so without further ado, here’s how you can build a DIY alcohol burning stove in the woods!
The opportunity to teach survival and homesteading skills should never be squandered. Even the simplest projects can leave you filled with a sense of accomplishment. These skills are truly a great way to think about solving problems and thinking critically on your own.
This aluminum can stove is just the project for breaking into the survivalist and natural world, since its ease of construction makes it perfect for kids and adults alike. If children are assisting in the project, an adult should be present throughout, as this project does require the use of sharp tools and flame.
Your kids will surely get a thrill from finishing off a soda and making a stove for that night’s dinner. Gather up your supplies, watch this video, and get ready to cook in 30 minutes or less!
