When it comes to YouTube videos that begin with someone saying “ready to rock” and “big-a$$ bonfire, take one,” there are typically only two positive outcomes. First, many viewers will learn an important lesson without putting themselves in any life-threatening danger. Second, we’ll most likely see something that’s going to make us laugh uncontrollably, even if it’s in a slightly guilty manner.

There’s a virtually unlimited number of ways to cook a steak. And as long as the end result is cooked to perfection and safe to eat, they’re all pretty cool in our book.

Water is one of the most critical human needs, but it can easily become contaminated. Once contaminated, it’s critical that you purify the water well in advance of consuming it. The average person can only last three days without access to fresh water, and this is the main reason that preppers and survivalists are urged to store as much of this life-sustaining liquid as possible. However, even if you take the proper precautions, you might still find yourself needing to purify dirty water in order to survive. The good news is that pool shock can help you accomplish this.
