How many uses for the following: 550 cord, a trash bag, 100mph tape,
I didn't want to start another thread along similar lines, so I'll add to this one.
As a former 11B, we used to game how many ways 550 paracord, a trashbag and 100 mph duct tape could be used. Continuing on this thought, I want to get members opinions on what they use it for (fixes, survival, emergencies, camping/backpacking, etc...).
550 cord: I've used it to make survival bracelets, fishing line, boot laces, lashings for a vehicle, poncho hooch, field shelter, dummy cords on weapons, trip wire, and snares.
Trashbags: I've used it for solar still/water collector, rain gear, ground cover, rucksack content water proofing, sleeping bag liner to retain heat.
100mph tape: hard shell repair, tent repair, inflatable raft repair, hose wrap, emergency butterfly stitches, tape up roommate's hairy ass while drunk(yes I know, we removed skin and drew blood on that one).
What say you?
For God and the soldier we adore, In time of danger, not before! The danger passed, and all things righted, God is forgotten and the soldier slighted." - Rudyard Kipling
