A simple plastic trash bag can be a valuable item with a variety of uses in an emergency survival situation.
After reading this article, I am going to add a couple plastic trash bags to my emergency preparedness car kit and add at least a couple extra boxes of trash bags to my home emergency supplies.
Outdoor Life website shares ten different uses but I know our “The Homestead Survival” readers could come up with a longer list of uses.
Here are a few more uses:
-
Keep items dry
-
Store waste when toilets will not flush
-
Use as part of a solar still
-
Transport food if no other option
-
Use as a sleeping bag cover
-
Use to tie a splint
-
Wind break or sun shade
-
Use as a liter cover
-
Use several to make a tent
