Outdoor Tips and Tricks Thread

Somebody gave me a magazine years ago with lots of tips for the outdoors. Here are a few:

1 - Handy bullet tote: If you have left your shell carrier at home put your loose rounds in the fingers of a spare glove to keep them from rattling around.

2 - No spill dog bowl: Drive a wooden stake through the center of an angel food cake pan to make a tip proof water bowl for your dog.

3 - Homemade wader dryer: Drill holes along a 2 1/2' piece of PVC pipe, attach to the end of a hair dryer, and use to dry the inside of your waders

4 - Fire starter: Put charcoal briquets in a cardboard egg carton and tie shut. Light the carton to start a fire.

5 - More fire starter: Hand sanitizer makes a great accelerant. Throw a few travel size bottles in your bag.

6 - Natural ice: Freeze pond, river, or rain water to use with your bait to avoid the chlorine scent from tap water.

7 - Howl at deer: Before leaving your stand in the evening use a coyote howl call to clear out nearby deer without overly spooking them.
