If you're out in winter and you have a small tarp and you're using snowshoes, you can wrap the tarp around a snowshoe and it will make a good enough shovel to clear snow out from where you're going to build your shelter. It's kind of awkward but it works
35 mm film cans are good for thousands of things. Metal cigaret cases too, handy little carry packages they are.
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
Think the uses for that is like duck tape. Tons of them. Holding fuel tabs, bobbin for fishing, misc. item for survival kit, just to name a few.

I always keep an extra load(5 rounds) in a couple of 35mm cans for my Smith Mod 60 in the truck console. Handy and better than an obvious speedloader.

How about a walking stick or staff? Mine is wrapped with cord at the point I hold it. Besides the obvious I kinda check for snakes going thru high grass & weeds. Most importantly for me I have mine cut at the exact length where I place the tip against my left foot and angle it out for a nice steady rest for my pistol. I am left handed that's why the tip is against the left foot. The tip is protected with a washer and a nice big wood screw. A stick, cane or staff makes a great offensive or defensive weapon and doesn't look threatening to two legged critters.
