Rubber gloves:

I'll give credit to Adventure Doc. He mentioned these in another thread.

You can snap off the end of the middle finger and use the glove as a one way valve for mouth to mouth.

You can pull the finger off a glove and pop off the end of the finger. Slide it over your finger and roll it down. It makes a mild tourniquet for bloodless surgery if you have to remove a bad splinter or the like. I actually tried this one and it works very well.

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in a complied list of this thread? I have been keeping track of the postings and I am putting them together in an organized format. So far we have did 21 of the 29 items listed. The items for multi-use are items most likely carried in a survival kit or bug-out-bag. So if you are interested please let me know. When I get it complete I will post it.
