  • Bottles that are made of clear thin plastic can be used to purify your water with sunlight. There's no more need for purification tablets or chlorine.

  • Jason, have enjoyed your videos very much... lots of really practical, useful info! I have learned much from your videos. Good job!

  • @Mecha04 you can find a stick/rock to dig, sharpen the found stick as a pick, and you can store the cup in your cooking pot/mug

  • @amelbegic78 while every loves their Nalgene, they are actually very heavy.

  • Belly button lint also makes a great fire starter. If you save enough you can make home made pillow.

  • plastic spoon will break.

    With a metal spoon you can use it to dig or sharpen the handle and use it as a pick.

    How do you prevent the styrofoam cup from being crushed.

  • Very nice video. ty man

  • jason!!! ur awesome man. thanks for the gr8 posts.

  • I hate the Taco Bell sporks! I can't tell you the last time one didn't break while trying to cut a mexican pizza. I'd go with something more substantial. Check out the plasticware at Boston Market, or Qdoba instead. They've got stuff that will last...But be nice and buy something from them at least. :)

  • although light and free...boiling water in an aluminum can is extremely unhealthy for numerous reasons. The grade of aluminum is not suitable for heating and then consuming what youve heated in it, and all cans be it soda or beer, have a plastic lining in them that you cant see that melts into whatever your cooking. You can suck up the few ounces for a healthier safer option, its the wiser choice
