Little Things, Big Uses

If you want to survive you don't have to have high tech stuff.  Simple things can be made into very useful survival items.  Here are some ideas.

Creative items, simple stuff

Sticks can be made into spears, fishing rods, and more.  Rocks can be filed down to make knives and hatchets.  Plastic bottles at a stream can be made into a minnow trap and be used (after you wash it out) as a container if you cut the top off to make a wider hole.   More can be said, but that's all for now.

Micro Fishing Rod

Have you been in a survival situation and would have liked to have a fishing rod?  Personally I haven't.  But if I needed a micro fishing rod, I would have one.  Could you guess what its made of?  A popsicle stick.  Yes, a popsicle stick.
How you do it is you get one of those giant popsicle sticks and wrap some fishing line around it width-wise in the middle.  You only need to do a couple times around then tie it with a bunch of string left over for the fishing line.  Put a little bit of tape (any kind, though duct tape or electrical tape will most likely work best) over the wrapped around line to keep it in place.  End of the fishing line that will be cast out tie on a hook, attach some sinkers, and a bobber if you have one.
