Before getting started, readers should be aware that performing this type of extraction indoors is considered to be inherently dangerous due to the unpredictable and volatile (read: explosive and flammable) nature of the materials, many of which can lead to property damage, serious bodily injury, or death during the course of the procedure.

Despite the attempt at creating a highly optimized and simplified version of this extraction, it should be noted that it still requires some more advanced technical equipment (e.g. a '''vacuum pump'''). This procedure should not be performed if one cannot afford to acquire these essential pieces of equipment as there is no way to safely substitute them with something else.

Likewise, the ideal setting for this procedure is a highly-controlled, safety-inspected professional or lab environment; conducting it in an outdoor home setting is generally not advised for legal, health, and environmental reasons. This tutorial is provided strictly for educational and harm-reduction purposes only.

The objective of this tutorial is to provide a simple, straight-forward and risk-minimized procedure for one seeking to produce a personal amount of hash oil in '''an outdoor environment'''.  It has been deliberately designed to use the simplest, most available materials and equipment that are typically accessible to the average person while keeping the safety of both the producer as well as the local environment in mind.
