anybody else use Tupperware?

Dang Coldwood, you just about busted up the whole thread!

As Robert E. Lee said at Gettysburg, "Things will get out of hand."

My wife indirectly suggested that I stop using her good fabric scissors for cutting up ungodly things like paper and cardboard Apparently that dulls them. So one day in the Dollar Store I found these:

I think they're great, did I mention they cost $1? I've used them for cutting flashing, tin cans, leather, and paper and cardboard. I don't know about running with them, but I think I could go trekking with them. They're stainless steel. Yes, they might bend, but did I mention they only cost $1?

Puh-leeze, task force k, even I would not have gone that far! Don't you know there are impressionable young single men reading these threads?

Okay, let's stop playing Can You Top This

Since we're on the topic, here's another one, and I'm being serious: Pantyhose (for the record, I mean fresh out of the package, not three days old). For the past 40 years it's been known that football players sometimes wear these for longjohns under their uniforms. Anybody else ever tried these for cold-weather wear? How about as emergency head gear to protect against wind chill factor? It's no more strange than wearing a plastic garbage bag.

They're extremely lightweight and compact. They could be twisted into very strong emergency cordage. They could be made into a small net for gathering minnows...an emergency water filter...a sack for carrying things...any other ideas?

To help you regain your credibility, Coldwood, Ron Hood, in one of his survival videos, suggests using panty hose, and, if it's good enough for Ron Hood, it's good enough for me (and apparently, you).
