I was talking to someone the other day, absent mindedly playing with the empty Hooah wrapper in front of me, and I wondered what they could be used for in a survival situation.

I thought perhaps a back up signalling device, or emergency patch for clothing, a tent or bike tire.

Other ideas?

-Lure to attract birds or small animals into a snare.
-Fishing lure.
-Small drinking cup.
-Does it burn? Fire starter or accelerator if so.
-Stitch a few together to make a heat reflector.
-Cut small slits, and use with string to make snowglasses (reduce snow blindness).
Water resistant wrap for something small.

Stitch a bunch together and make a hat to reflect those durn mind-control rays ..... <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

good one, 'specially to block those durn mind control rays"

To leave a message on, so that a thousand years from now, someone knows where you went. :P

Melt it and use it as a binder. If you had a bunch you could crumple them up and use for insulation.

This? Why I could make a hat, or a brooch, a pterodactyl...

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit drinking.

I guess that, a few days later when you are getting really really hungry, you could sniff it and pretend you are eating one...

If a tree falls in the forest and nobody is there, does it make a noise? I would drop the wrapper and take 3 steps forward. With my luck, an Earth First! activist would start berating me about biodiversity, a state trooper issue a citation for littering and two blue haired grandmothers from Saint Paul with a birding guide give me a good lutheran lecture. Oh, I could also make a splendid fishing lure and involve Fish and Game for good measure.

I think I remember a MacGyver episode when – faced with this very situation – he used it as a single square of TP.
