Surprise, surprise.

But I’ll join you this time, drunkard. I once used a section of 550 cord and a bottle knot to hold one of my daughter's sippy-cups around my neck so I didn’t spill my Jameson. I’m not going to share what I was doing at the time. I’ll just say the idea worked perfectly.

I have used socks to keep my hands warm while backpacking.

One morning we woke to 12” of unexpected snow on the ground and I duct taped my pants to my boots for the hike out.

I also once used the body of a Bic pen to help me collect water from a small seep.
