Backpacking Tips - 7 Uses For the Lowly Trash Bag

Review

The term "trash bag" is likely to evoke an image of something of rather lowly status. But, a large heavy-duty trash bag can be very beneficial in the wilderness. Even though it is designed to be disposable, it is nothing else but quite durable and it weighs mere ounces.



Below I will give some uses for heavy-duty trash bags, you know, the big black lawn and leaf, 42 gallon models.

Rain Cover

Use #1: urgency Rain Poncho: Just cut a hole for your head and two more for your arms. If you cut the hole sLightly smaller than the diameter of your head and of your arms and force your head and arms into the holes, you'll get a snug fit.

Use #2: urgency Windbreaker Coat: If you need to add one more layer to avoid hypothermia, you can make a windbreaker coat with the same straightforward instructions for production a rain poncho. It won't have any sleeves, but it can help keep your torso warm by blocking the wind.

Use #3: Moisture Barrier: You can use a heavy-duty trash bag as a moisture barrier when sitting on wet ground. Or you can use it in the middle of your sleeping bag and the damp ground. To duplicate the length of the barrier, just slit the seams on both sides, but not on the bottom.

Use #4: Dry Sack: Store, in the bag, items that you want to make sure will stay dry in a downpour or in a tricky stream crossing.

Use #5: urgency Backpack Rain Cover: Of course, a rain cover that is made specifically for your backpack will fit best. But, the trash bag will work in a pinch to keep things dry.

Use #6: Makeshift Patches: Using cutouts from a trash bag in mixture with duct tape, you can temporarily patch practically anything from a sleeping bag to a tent.

Use #7: Firewood Protector: Store in the bag the high-priced firewood that you have collected in case the ground is wet or you expect rain. It will be much easier to Light an urgency fire if the firewood is kept dry.

There you have seven beneficial applications for a heavy-duty trash bag in a backpacking setting. I'm sure you could think of more uses to add to the list. With that, I hope the trash bag will see a bit less trashy and somewhat more classy.
