Hiking and Biking Uses

[ Next Uses ]
  1. 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.
  2. Gear organizer:Do your belongings keep getting mixed up in your pack? Use TFPTTOBs to keep them sorted out.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Safety Line:When hiking or biking with a small child on slackwater sections with sheer drops to the river, twist a few TFPTTOBs together, attach one end to the child’s belt, and hold onto the other end to keep the child away from the edge.
