The first line in the bible of wilderness survival should read ‘learn as many skills as possible; when it comes to being multi skilled the sky’s the limit’. As it is often the case in the wilderness, it seldom turns out the way you plan it to be. It is this unpredictable nature of the wild that forces one to be a jack of all trades and hopefully a master of them all as well.
There are things that we notice as we go about our daily lives, and there are plenty of things that we don’t. Some of these things often have a lot of potential as useful items.
One of such group of neglected items are the evil plastic bags. Despite mankind’s religious commitment to rid the world of this ‘menace’ that has the power to destroy the earth one day; you can find one stuck in the tree or simply half buried in the soil, pretty much everywhere you look on our planet there’s a plastic bag of some sort. Consider the following uses of plastic bags, some of which may one day contribute to your survival in the wilderness.
