Natural History and Interpretive Uses

[ Next Uses ]
  1. Gloves:Do you want to look around under some shrubbery you can’t identify? Did you drop the car keys into a patch of poison ivy? Use a TFPTTOB to protect your hands.
  2. Kid control:When day-care centers take kids on walks outside the center, they keep track of the kids by making them keep one hand on a rope with an adult at each end. You can do the same for groups of kids on interpretive walks by making a rope from TFPTTOBs. Just twist the body of the bags and tie the bottom of each one to the top of the next, just below the handles. Leave the handles sticking out for the kids to hold onto. You wouldn’t want to leave a kid in Paw Paw tunnel, would you?
  3. Book cover:Protect your nature guide from dirt and rain by folding a TFPTTOB into a cover.
  4. Bear noisemaker:Fill a TFPTTOB with dried seed pods, leaves, and other crackling materials and attach it to your pack so it makes noise to alert any bears in the vicinity of your presence.
  5. Barf bag:Worried about getting seasick on the canal boat ride? Take along a TFPTTOB.
