i made a first aid kit out of hand lotion

Keep some super glue around for cuts.
Liquid stitches.

Pop tart will save your life.

If I'm not using glue, duct tape or velcro, something must be terribly wrong...

if you blow a fuse in your car, just wrap it in tin foil.

Lol really dude, that's your first tip for the thread?

Take an old Directv satellite dish, coat with 3m spray glue, apply aluminum foil. Aim at the sun and you can boil water at the focal point where the LNB sits.

Maybe one day we'll have a terrible merlot fire here and I would have used all the burn cream packets up as hand lotion.

Water bottles around/under your fridge to keep it cold in case of power outage! -random GLPer

Nice thread Op

Does it work on neighbors or their dogs?

That is a really odd post. And why are you washing dishes when you could be cooking them?

We used to do that as kids walking to school. I had forgotten that!

Or me, "Measure never, drill wherever."

Someone recently told me that you can smoke weed out of a peanut...

I'm not good with electricity but that sounds like a useful tip. Thanks!

When you buy a new lizard and open the box on the way home, the lizard jumps out and down the defrost vent, here’s what you do.


Take a shoelace and tie it around the center of pencil or straw like a rope hanging off a branch. Put the string down the vent and lay the pencil across the vent. Boom!

The paper-like white layer of birch tree bark burns pretty well even if wet. Perfect for starting fires.

"Tin foil... does anyone have any tin foil???

lol

You gotta build up, dude.

Um…yea I guess if you put a neighbor or a dog at the focal point you could boil them too

*Veterinary horse wrap is better than Curlex or other wrap bandages.

*You can use an old car tire rim to pull up t-posts.

*OB tampons are great emergency packs for a broken nose. Don't put them too deep.

*Flir can be defeated with a 2.99 Mylar blanket. Place it under camo netting and viola!


*You can use two open end wrenches to bust a padlock by putting them side by side and closing them like pliers.

*The odor of Rosemary improves memory.

Mylar blankets are great for remaining anonymous against thermal imaging.

WD 40 + lil' bit of fire =

When jumping a car battery, if one set of cables doesn’t get it going, put on a second set. This increases the voltage transferred and will jump it off way easier.

My shower drain pipe froze one winter. I couldn't take a shower. I went outside and got some rock salt. I poured it in a bucket and added hot water. I stirred it up so it would melt in the water. I dumped that salty water into the flooded water in my shower. Later that day, I took a shower.

styrofoam + gasoline

very inexpensive plastic glue

1. yes it will work

2. potentially dangerous
