If there is one thing I love it's finding amazing uses for common things.
Cinderblocks are one of those items that I often see laying around in random places and sold in any of the major or independent home improvement stores. I often wonder, what do people use them for? Sure, there is the obvious uses when it comes to building structures but like many things, there is more than one way to use it.
Chances are if you look around you can find these laying anywhere and won’t need to go to Lowes or Home Depot for materials but if you do make sure to pick up a bunch because there are endless uses for them if you have a little bit of time and a whole lot of creativity.
So what we have done is compiled for you on the next page a list of some of the most creative ways you can use cinder blocks for survival purposes.

Nice!!!!!
I’ve been following your theme as of lately and I like it.
Raised garden bed! That’s a great idea
Just got a farm bro… lots of idea material lol
I saw that you got a farm and that’s great! We have been looking for one as well, and are hoping to get one soon.
It’s gonna be a lot of work but also gonna be a way better life!
Yes indeed! Are you located in the same area in south WV?

Cement blocks.

Mel and Daniel have built one of these. They sometimes put veggies in their camping pot for Sabbath tea
What a nice idea
they dont hold up to heat. waste of time if fire is present
Just FYI concrete block cracks when it gets hot.
Cement block, cinder blocks are long gone.
Use fire bricks

Awesome fire pit
Are those Cinder blocks ? If they aren’t the heat will break them.
Yes it might or might not but just a good thing to know n try
They will blow up if around intense heat. They have air pockets that will expand and could blow if subjected to high heat and would not want to be around if it does happen. Seen it happen before so I would not suggest the fire place.
I did the raised garden beds with the blocks
I wouldn’t! He
Great idea but needs an air feed tube

These are concrete blocks, not cinder blocks. Cinder blocks have not been made for years.
Stop puting “Next page” on articles.

Using Cinder block for Non-heated containments is fine. Using it under extreme heat conditions is not good. The concrete becomes brittle and weak. Basically, it crumbles!!!!
Agreed
I’ve seen the cinder blocks shatter from the heat of the fire pit very stupid idea

If for a fire pit ? Not good they can’t hold the heat they crack and fall apart js
I shoulld of done the garden one, but they would move
Nice ideas, but a pain to see because of all the ads.
Except when cinder blocks get to hot they “spawl” or explode and shoot chunks of concrete everywhere. Not wise. Not wise at all
