Post-Apocalyptic Tip

Okay, this will sound odd but I'm going to share it anyway. In my very slim spare time, after hours of writing when my mind can no longer put together a cohesive sentence, I've been reading survival books for research on my upcoming post-apocalyptic series. And some of the improvisational tools and techniques are fairly interesting. One I read recently is on how to "brush" your teeth with a twig. No kidding. I haven't tried this but I can actually envision it working. So find a twig, clean it in sterile water (using a dirty twig would defeat the purpose, right? Not to mention the gross factor) and grind the tip of it between your teeth until the twig begins to separate. Use that end to brush against your teeth. Whala! You have a homemade, natural, albeit not as efficient but widely available toothbrush.

If you're not sufficiently disgusted by this point, check back for more. If you are, my apologies. :)
