Here's an idea. Several of us have disscussed carrying trash bags as a survival item. Leaving out the obvious "Raincoat" how many uses can you come up with for trash bags? Inquiring minds want to know! ;>)

Stuff it with leaves or cattail fluff to lay on so you have something between you and the cold ground, or use as a pillow.

you can keep your gear in it, use it to better waterproof your shelter.

Use an orange bag instead of black, then it's a high visibility signaling device, spread it out on the ground, wave it in the air, or tie it to a branch and wave it like a flag.

You can take the bag and wrap it around a leafy tree branch and tie the open end shut with cordage so as to make a transpiration device.
