What useful things can you make from this stuff?

Good one B, I had to look it up.

Kohl (cosmetics)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kohl is an ancient eye cosmetic. It was made by grinding galena (lead sulfide) and other ingredients. It is widely used in South Asia, the Middle East, North Africa, the Horn of Africa, and parts of West Africa to darken the eyelids and as mascara for the eyelashes. It is used mostly by women, but also some men and children.

Kohl has been worn traditionally since the Bronze Age (3500 B.C. onward) by Egyptian queens. It was originally used as protection against eye ailments. There was also a belief that darkening around the eyes would protect one from the harsh rays of the sun. India's oldest caste, the koli, used kohl as a cosmetic. In addition, mothers would apply kohl to their infants' eyes soon after birth. Some did this to "strengthen the child's eyes", and others believed it could prevent the child from being cursed by the evil eye.[1]
Kohl's ancient importance survives through its use as the etymological root for the English word alcohol.

"texting about your favorite mascara..."

You old people need to listen to us young folks once in a while. You might just learn something.

[BENESSE]

I once made mascara for the Queen of Bathsheba. She was really beautiful AFTER she applied it.

No worries, mate...... this young lady seems to have been caught up by the natives in the Amazon when the batteries went dead on her"electronic device" in Dec of 2011..........Happens a lot.

I don't know about anyone else; there are to many items to think about. Narrow the list to essential items like food, water gathering, fire starting matrials, items to signal for help. Divide the items up between all parties and have brainstorm session on what the items can be utilized for.

I have to agree with this. That's a bleedin treasure trove there. All I can see in my head is the survival shows from the Discovery channel flashing by. Nice list though.

[canid]

Right? What could one make from that list? Darned near anything they wanted.
