In this modern day, the original black powder can be made right at home for a survival situation. With the ingredients mixed in the right proportions, as demonstrated in this video by Youtuber ExplosiveTV, you, too, can make your own in a pinch.

Remember: black powder is extremely dangerous. Any sparks, or even static electricity, can set it off and make a mess of you. We publish this as a survival educational video for an emergency. It is much safer to buy your own black powder at your local gun shop. Be careful out there, use your head, and stay safe.
