    Imagination Exercise - Plastic Bottles

    We've done String and we've done a Nail. Now ... Bottles.

    Let's expand this into cover large bottles, small bottles and wide necked bottles.

    Once again, one suggestion per post, wait one before further suggestion and continue the list in each post.

    I'll start with:

    • Store water (clean or contaminated)

    Store berries and other edibles in

    Defeat is an absolute consequense for the one that have neglected to do the necessary preparations - bad luck we call it

    If it was quite a big bottle, then I would paint it red and use it as a float to go shark fishing like in Jaws.

    could make a crab/rodent trap by cutting off the top, burying it with the top open with some edible in it

    How about crayfish traps, or prawn traps for the larger ones and marker floats for the smaller ones

    I'd put brown sause in it for the bacon butties round the camp fire in the morning.
