I am not to hip on advertising my position either. Communications will all but cease except in your very very local area.

One thing we tried....

We got a cooking pot

and these two things:
1) Salt peta (Spelling?? but can be purchased from a nursery, its a fertilizer)
2) sugar.

What ya do, is slowly cook both of them till the sugar melts, and they whole thing turns into a brown mixture.

When that dries, you have what we called 'Real Rocket Fuel' as opposed to the drink, which is all sorts of alcohols mixed together lolololol.

So anyway, when this stuff is lit, it makes a lot of white smoke, and obviously, burns fast enough to be a rocket fuel.

Be very carefull with this shit, apparently the smoke is dangerous, and can cause cancer, and do not mix a large amount at once. My friends tried this, and nearly burnt down their house ahahahah.

:hippy:

Let's see;

I remember seeing salt peter in some mixture. Oh yea, it has another name, potassium nitrate. Now, if I could only remember what it was a key part of.

That's right, it's GUNPOWDER.
NO WONDER IT BURNS SO FAST.
