I've tried a lot of things from books, some have worked out great, and others were just horrible experiences.
I read where one guy (McCann?) stated to take a Reynold's Bake in Bag to use in place of a condom for an emergecy water carrier. He said he could swing the full bag over his head, it was so strong.
I bought the bags, filled it with about a quart of water, and didn't even get it lifted out of the sink before it burst on me. Wet dog, wet wife, wet feet, and laughter all around - but Im glad I tried it first. Had I depended on it untested, I'd be a thirsty guy!
I could also never seem to light a fire with steel wool, even though I can get it ignited by itself.
So what have YOU tried that didn't seem to work, or just didn't work for you?
