>>254936>>254914I used hot glue actually.
>>253447Making a feather stick, like in
>>254274 is actually a lot easier and faster than using those large pencil sharpeners. Plus, you don't have to carry an extra tool, (most people outdoors already have a knife.)
>>253445>pic>pocket stoveI've made several of those. The chimney section needs to be a certain height or they don't work correctly (higher than what is pictured). They will burn and be a little stove for you, but a rocket stove is supposed to be so hot that it burns very efficiently and has very little smoke to no smoke at all. The chimney on that one needs to be 2-3 times higher, probably just 3 times higher.

Filling the bottle half full of water then laying it on its side in the freezer until frozen makes them last even longer in the heat. You simply take them out and fill the other half with water and stick them in the sock and foil.

When you buy a product you examine its packaging, if it has any, and see how that packaging can be used later on instead of tossing it out. For instance, I buy peanut butter jars in the large size so that I can have a nice plastic container to put my DIY parts in for electronics and carpentry. I use soda bottles for thermal mass in a number of things, like gardening, fridge/freezer, anti-freeze application for water pipes, hot water bottle for bed, face masks for non-power tool jobs (overhead painting for instance), etc. I also use them as compartment storage like in
>>253446 and pic related.
You are already paying for the packaging itself via the price of the item you are buying. Simply tossing it out means you are throwing away money. Instead of buying things that have trash packaging with no good secondary use, buy things you can actually use.
