here's a few for the youngsters.

Learned this one in the big house, (younger years).
Collect as many as you can find filtered cigarette butts. Remove the outer paper until you have only the fiberglass portion. Rip them open and lay them on something very flat, in a long 2"-3" wide and 4"-6" long, letting them overlap each other. Then set the pile on fire and wait till it becomes a blob. Than lay something flat on top of it to put it out. What you are left with is a piece of hard plastic. Can be shaped and sharpened on the sidewalk and wrapped for stabbing or placed length wise in a bar of soap for slicing.

If your ever stuck with a dead battery in a standard tranny vehicle, you can jump start it by jacking it up and wrapping a tow strap around the drive wheel and pulling like your starting a lawnmower. Helps with two jamokes pulling.

If you ever find yourself fishing for Peacock Bass in Lake Gatun, you can use a 1" piece of Burger King straw. Cut the straw, feed it onto the line then tie your hook and let the straw slide down to the hook. Happy fishing.
