How To Of The Day: Fork Door Lock

An ordinary dinner fork could protect you while you’re at home or traveling.

This little fork trick is a portable solution for instant locking any doors you want!

Enjoy!

I came up with a way to lock a door by modifying a dinner fork. Some folks may have seen my earlier video on my channel called “portable door lock”, which I made from flat 1/8″ steel . The Fork Lock, however, is way easier to make. This lock is very useful when wanting to add a little extra security to a motel room, public restrooms (which often have broken locks), or on any interior, or exterior door.

How To Of The Day: Start A Fire In The Rain

The Art of Manliness put together this handy visual guide that makes it easy to remember the steps to get a fire started in the rain.

Start A Fire In The Rain

Knowing how to start a fire is one thing; knowing how to do it in the rain is a whole other. Whether you’re a frequent camper, or an avid hiker, it’s an important skill to have. In an emergency situation, it may very well be the difference between life and death, as fire provides not only warmth, but food as well. (Note that cutting bark from a tree should in fact only be done in an actual emergency, as this can damage and even kill the tree.) Follow the tips above and you’ll never be without the skills to start a fire, even on a damp and rainy adventure.

As a bonus, learn how to make your own char cloth (firestarter).
