This video is fun; it shows, however, how to make the soda bottle stove, which in a survival situation could allow you to cook food.

All you need are two soda bottles, cotton and rubbing alcohol for materials; you also need something to but the cans and poke holes in them.

In a survival situation, being able to cook food – no matter the amount, is a way to ensure you get the nutrition you need, without the parasites, bacteria or viruses.

This unique soda can stove lets you cook small amounts of food relatively quickly and easily; it also would let you boil a cup of water.

    i’ve been using one of those for some time and i must say it wrks awsome. Anywy, it’s a good thing to point that you should use it inside a container, fill som of the same container with the same alcohol, the brun the outside. This will heat the alcohol inside the stove and stimulate the vapors, getting a much faster and controlled burn – but it may be a bit dangerous. also, you may find some trouble because of the short burning times, it’s usefull to have a syringe or something to feed the stove when it runs out of fuel – but never while it’s still running!
