emergency heater

1 new quart-size paint can (available at paint stores)
1 roll of toilet paper
1 pint of rubbing alcohol

Remove the carboard roll from inside toilet paper. Squeeze toilet paper inside the can. Slowly and carefully pour the full pint of alcohol into the can over the toilet paper. Make sure you pour in the full pint. To use, remove the lid and light the alcohol. The alcohol burns not the paper. It should last about 8 hours. the can doesn't get hot. To put it out simply replace the lid. It can be refilled and used indefinately.
