Old Tires & Levis

Here are some things you can do with old tires:

•Stack several of them vertically, fill them with dirt and use the tube as a planter.
•Build walls by stacking them in vertical tubes, side-by-side, and pounding dirt into them as you build the tubes upward. These walls contain thermal mass that acts as insulation. Earthships are built this way.
•Ring your After-TSHTF vehicle with tire bumpers so that you can bash thru shit without damaging it.
•Stack & fill with rebar & concrete to make permanent roadblocks.
•Stack in levels to create retaining walls.
•Make sandals (huaraches).
•Burn them to make distress signals or to create After-TSHTF roadblocks.
•Make a hose bib by removing the metal wheel rim from the tire, nailing the rim to a vertical post, then looping the garden hose over the rim. These look very vintage & cool!

Things to do with old Levis:

•Shred them and use the material as insulation.
•Cut patches out of them for black powder shooting.
•Cut them into rags.
•Cut the legs off & sew the leg bottoms shut to make storage tubes.
•Make cut-off jeans.


It's a start.
