- Adult rain jacket:Carefully cut open one side of a TFPTTOB, including the handle, and about 4" of the bottom on that side. Carefully tear a hole in the opposite side near the bottom of the TFPTTOB. Put your left arm through the hole. Pull the split parts of the handle to your waist on the right side of your body and tie them together. Repeat for the right side of your body.
- Ice pack:You chronic over-doers will want to ice your aching joints promptly. But you don't want the ice dripping all over your spiffy new outfit. Put the ice in the bottom of a TFPTTOB and use the handles to tie it in place.
- Gear organizer:Do your belongings keep getting mixed up in your pack? Use TFPTTOBs to keep them sorted out.
- Tarp:If a rain shower comes up and you don’t have a tarp in your pack to keep the rain off, connect a few TFPTTOBs with thorns or twigs for an emergency tarp.
- Umbrella:Maybe the rain shower isn’t moving along, and you can’t wait for it to pass by. Convert the tarp to an umbrella by using small branches as spreaders. Be sure do use fallen twigs - cutting live branches is not permitted in your park.
