Have you ever used something you normally wouldnt in an emergency? What was it and what happened? Did it work?

Speaking of tampons (ew to those corks!) I'm sure I'm not the only one who's smoked pot out of a Tampax cardboard-applicator pipe.

I used reins ( from a bridle ) once to hold my jeans on

the button was already missing then when I fell off the zipper broke because a loop got caught on the fence I was twisted up in and the ride/ walk home was almost 5 miles ...

That's probably more of an emergency than needing to smoke pot, I guess.

When I was riding I lived in fear of being tossed on to the combination barbed-wire/electric fence. I mean, did you feel your skin ripping open on the way down?

You're my hero.

Desperate times, girl!

HereToRockYourWorld said:

Yes

and that was just one wire fence day

I've had to use unconventional items plenty of times; leaves as plates, charts as paddles, garbage bags as raincoats, t-shirts as bandages etc. You can never be prepared for everything if you're out roughing it somewhere and necessity is the mother of invention.

That is exactly why I don't like to "rough it".

By the way, I just wanted to say that I like your threads, JD. They're always creative and inviting to post on.

I believe I heard her say that she wanted to be Strawberry Shortcake.

HereToRockYourWorld said:

Okay well in that case I'm sure that in...erm... Starwberry Shortcake Land, they would sometimes end up in a...eh...strawberry field with no picnic basket and then...uh....okay I give up.
