HEALTH & SAFETY Hacks Make a gallon of water into a cordless lamp during a blackout. Place some sage in your campfire and the smell is sure to ward off any pesky mosquitos. Dew is a water source that doesn’t need purification. Soak up dew on grass early in the morning using a t-shirt or bandana and wring it directly into your mouth or a container. For any fellow clumsy people, you know how possible it is to smack your head and cause serious injury. Placing a foam noodle on the awning strut narrows down at least one accident waiting to happen. A thin strip of tin foil can save you. Stuff a ball of tin foil into the space where the battery’s negative terminal connects, according to Life Hacker. If you have enough foil to fill in the gap, your device should turn on. Try this if your flashlight dies (and you don’t have the proper batteries). Carry some essentials in a small tin with you at all times. You’ll never know what and when you’ll need them. No matter where you go this weekend - Have fun, and be safe! Wrap duct-tape around your water bottle for emergencies. You never know when you might need some. - 11 www.tarponenergy.com
