    I have a thunder box , a plywood box with a toiletseat and lid on it over a hole for number 2's , when you have done your business , a bucket full of fire ash , just coal shovel a bit on top of your deposit , calms the smell and nobody has to look at what you have left previously !!

    If your setting up snares you can use ash to mask your scent a bit more. Beats rubbing rabbit sh*t on your hands!

    I recall someone said you can use ash as a dry shampoo for your hair..........

    You can also bomb your friend's face/head with it for some Bush Antiquing, when such luxuries as flour are unavailable!

    I spread it on the lawn in spring to make the snow melt faster, as thats where all the snow from the driveway end up when shoveling. When the snow is gone, it's nice fertilizer, so a win win :-)
