The spoon, bowl and cup are eye openers for me. Didn't see this idea. Thank you for this, in all seriousness.
Another usage of bottle i saw -
1) This works mostly for the see thru ones - the clear plastic bottles, but if you use a coloured red, orange, green or blue, you will have a nice dimmed and somewhat more hard-to-find light. Put a candle inside it and wrap a paracord handle around the neck and you have quite good wind-resistant lantern. For obvious reasons, it is good to let it spill a little bit, or to drive a few holes in the bottom of the bottle with heated nail or needle, to highten the circulation of the air and stabilize the candle - for that purpose you can drive the nail thru the bottle into the bottom of the candle and than fill it with a toothpick, or a suitable branch, to help it "stand".
2) find the biggest watter canteen you can find (bottle, canister, small barell), make a strap(s) for it, to hang it on your back, with the lid optimally in the middle upper part of your back (behind your head), than drive through the lid a heated needle/nail few times, than fill the bottle with watter of the temperature you prefer (- optimally not extra hot and not icy cold), and than simply bend over a sink, to wash you hair.
I understand, that this kind of hygiene is not a survival issue, but the firm watter management, and ability to wash youself when on the go - not needing a fixed shower stand- may be the survival issue after all.
3) actually, the PET bottle can be (possibly with a soggy sock, when stuck into it) used as a canteen to BOIL the watter. It does come with a few potentialy nasty disadvantages, but it is possible.
Disadvantages are follows:
A) when you will be heating the (bottom of the) bottle, there will be some transfer of chemicals out of the bottle material to your - probably drinkink watter. one, or FEW times, it does not hurt. If you repeat it every day for a few years, you can make you seriously sick.
B) the bottle is afterwards usually not usable for another pupose, because it is misshapen and its walls are less thick (done by heat) and usually even the lid does not fit as originaly intended, and that is why you can not use it again as a canteen.
C) you are taking a chance (not a large threatening one, but still an existing chance), that the bottle will break by heat and than spill your precious watter on your preccious fire. When you will be doing this, it is good to have a backup fire close by and backup fuel for fire close by. The same goes for the source of watter you are trying to boil.
D) if you are doing the sock version of it, you can loose your sock, wich might prove dangerous to your feet. And working legs are in most survival situations synonimus with chances for life.
4) Watter filter. For that purpose it is good if the bottle is realy big, or if you have more of them (especially when smaller. Also it is advantagous, if the bottles does have a wide opening - the more wide, the better. Than you need a small-grained sand, charcoal, cotton, soil and if you want it to last longer, some grocery plastic (with premade holes), to put inbetween different materials, to prolong time, it works.
5) ussage as anchor, counterweight, or simple "stake". If you fill the flask with sand, stones or dirt to add weight, you can use it to stabilize your shelter/tent on places, where simple stake is not an option (rocky ground) or the counterweight is better solution, or for wathewer you need to stabilize.

I have another method and this should only be used if you're in a desperate survival situation.
if you're in a survival situation where you have no way of boiling water and you are edging towards dehydration you can use this method. Using your foraging/fishtrap method (without the duct tape) you can put some kind of cloth over the funneled area you can slowly pour some gathered water over the cloth and it can be some form of a filter. They key is to make sure that water is from a flowing source and to only do this in small portions. This can be used to filter out debris in a small portion of any other contaminants that could be in it like bacteria. When done in small portions your body is able to fight off anything that might have been missed through it and it gives your body the hydration that it needs. Lots of people think if the water is not coming from a faucet or is born in a pot that you shouldn't drink it. Which I do agree that should be the only way but if you're in a really extreme desperate survival situation it is one of the nitty gritty methods that could be done. it's kind of silly if somebody would die dehydration next to a water source just because they didn't want to take a sip of it.
I say this because I remember seeing a document from years ago where a couple got lost hiking in the woods and this is what they done. They made that funnel method and the woman used the cup of her bra as a filter. They only done it in very small portions but it was enough for them to get a bit of hydration to make it out from where they was lost.
Best bottle to use for the crawfish trap is a gatorade bottle because if you cut it in the correct spot it will lock in itself and will eliminate the need for duct tape.
Don't know how anyone would give this video a thumps down ! Great video - thank you.
Excuse me for making a mistake. As I am sure you know, I meant THUMBS.

oh, I think he or she did. , & was more concerned with criticizing typing errors than the helpful content of the video. Probably 1 of the thumbs down trolls.
+ellen fisher true

Good stuff. I love this series Don. One semi-related use that I have found to be priceless on two occasions is poking a hole in the cap to use as an eye irrigation (probably want to make sure it's clean water!)... it could also work as wound irrigation.
To sum up. A water bottle is a water bottle, a refillable water bottle. A liquid holder (bowl), a liquid transporter (spoon), and a funnel.
yeah seriously, thats not "survival" thats more like "im bored"
One day youll See...
This goes well with geni.us/thelostways the survival guides
Some of these tips are obvious to most but in a real life survival situation most of the people commenting wouldn't last a week.
JustinL614 oh my God I know right! Boy what I would give to be a fly on a wall when something happens and these idiots sit and say dang I wish I would've paid attention instead of using my brain cells to comment something stupid! :)
Alot of people don't know how to do the things that can save their lives.
Danielle, with love and respect, there are those of us, new to the survival game, which I am, who could do without the ridicule. I am, frankly, scared about my ability to actually live off what I've learned from @sensibleprepper #sensibleprepper , #corporalscorner and others.

Very great tips to use water bottles. I definitely will use the tip on planting seeds for my plants.
Nice! Especially like the fish trap!!! That would be great just for a day of fishing or a weekend camping!!!
It would be better using a two liter bottle for fish trapping! 😉
Small fish + grind = fish cakes. Season at will.
wow. the second one was mindblowing :o

If you turn your oil bottle around and pour with the slanted side toward your target, you can get much closer to target before the oil starts out the opening. If you don't have anything to use as a funnel, this helps a lot.
Pk
❤😊l kkl
Have a great day 😅
These preppers are the Gods of creativity. So clever.
Something I noticed was the orientation of the oil bottle you used. If you pour with the spot on top, further away from the funnel, it will prevent an air pocket from forming in the bottle causing a smoother pour. Great video!
For the waterproof container, I guess you can use tweezers to try and get the items out; and if you don't you can cut them into one of those other things you mentioned like a spoon or a cup! :) Thanks for the tips!!!
why the fuck would u turn a WATER BOTTLE INTO A CUP WHEN A BOTTLE IS BETTER THAN A CUP XD
lol
true
Why is that so true and funny XD
acctualy you can have tea in a bottle

your videos have given me so many great ideas! when I see my grandkids, I will take them out to my ranch, and we will make some of this stuff! I love the cereal one! they will too!
I used to work for Alaska glacier products and I threw thousands of those Bottles into the environment every day now I know what I could have done with them.
Sootch, I know it was for demo purpose, but you should turn the motor oil container flat (like a book laying on a table) as you pour - you have much more surface area in container for air to fill so the oil won't glug out and spill all over as it tries to replace the fluids with gases. This works for anti-freeze containers, any rectangular jug holding liquids. Peace in His name.
+John Clayton .... actually, turn the bottle around so that most of the bottle is BELOW the spout when pouring
Some of these weren't even for survival
+Zailia Jay yeah
To be honest, i like the video because of the bottle sounds when its getting cut. Great hacks! :D

Why do you need a cup instead of a bottle? The bottle contains more water the cup contains less
I think the handle is the point.
Oh well thats not the best reason

I LOVE these recycle videos; they're always so practical. Thanks! : )
No this was not u idiot.
i love the bowl spoon and coffee cup.
you got that right: coffee is a requirement
Exactly. That cup of coffee might give you the needed energy to continue on walking.
and the first aid kit will float if dropped in water.
I love the sounds of plastic bottles and aluminium cans make when they're being cut and prepped 😆
The Fish trap is very good! Than you so much!
I've seen some good everyday survival tools, but this is one of the best!
Your "berry picker" can also be a minnow trap. You can put food in the bottom part and submerge the whole thing, securing it under water with rocks. Minnows will swim in but not be able to swim out. ;)
Also, I actually use the top of a water bottle as a funnel in my every day life. #livingpoor. XD
Edit: I obviously left this comment before I finished the video! I'm so glad you mentioned the minnow trap towards the end. XD
Oh shit guys camo duct tape, this dude is the real deal.

are there alot of water hoses out there in the wild ?
It a rare treat to witness a wild garden hose in its natural habitat

Yes but be careful their dangerous beasts

The point is you can refill it. -_-

I appreciate this man taking the time to do this video! Things may not come as a surprise to most but there are lots of kids that aren't even going to be able to live without a phone or tablet!! Believe it or not people our kids generation and their kids aren't going to think quite clearly as we do! Everything in today's time is how to cut corners and how to do things with the least amount of effort possible! It may seem sooo stupid for someone to show you that you can refill a water bottle but seriously people...HOW MANY OF US DO? NO we just toss it and go buy more because God forbid that we would actually go to our backyard hose where the water is just as good as the bottled stuff is and REFILL IT!! So yes you may laugh now watching someone make a spoon or a cup for a survival tip but let's see how many people like not having one when they need it! Or if you have an infant with you that eats from a spoon see how simple it is to have that baby suck food off your fingers and not to mention how sanitary that is? Or say you're sick and you only have a bottle of water between you and family...you're not going to want to drink out of the same bottle as everyone else and get everyone sick!! Not to mention I don't want to drink after everyone else that may backwash in the bottle! Things seem really silly until you stop and think of the worst! We grew up and continue to get used to a lifestyle that is so simple..when the crap hits the fan and everything changes in an instant you'll be glad that you had someone to show you things. Heck the way kids (and over half the adults for that matter) are now days they won't be able to sit still longer than 10 minutes without TV, phone or internet! Just one more tip...just because you're in a survival situation doesn't mean that you can't have the great amenities such as a cup and spoon and fork ect..Trust me people these videos are going to be a great help one day, we may not see those days but there's no doubt that eventually someone someday will definitely have to do these things! God bless :)
Fact: Any situation without coffee is a survival situation!!! Great video!
Sootch00 he was on another RUclips for many years telling you all about firearms I guess he got tired of it and started this new series of different products he's just excellent whatever he does I'm glad I found him doing this he does a lot of research before he goes on RUclips 💯👍

For the survival kit, put items into other small plastic bags and attach a string before shoving into the bottle. Tape to the inside of the neck. When the item is needed, remove the end of the string from where it's taped on and pull out. How well this will work, I don't know. But I thought of it immediately when he was demonstrating this.
You can store many different “powders” in in it.. salt, flour, matches, chemicals... in case of gardening, put plastic near seedling / floweer, punch/whatever holes in it and pour water to it... in case flower do have deep roots, like tomatoes, it can help a lot...
I tried the berry picking one it was great 👍
I had to rewind... Did you seriously just tell us the number one thing to do with a water bottle is fill it up with water?
WHHAAT!!??!?!? you can REFILL water bottles with water???? crazy. but I bet you can't refill a sprite bottle with water though, that would blow my mind into pieces
bet u couldn't refill Pepsi bottles either.

+Ali Chehab if u clean it it won't

They make weapons out of toothbrushes, staples, straight pins, and paper clips too.

A tip, when u use a bottle for dry storage, if you have it, a round of electrical tape helps seal it for longer, extremely wet conditions. Like crossing a water obstical.

As a household thing, the plant thing is pretty useful
if you plant the plant later it will grow into something you can eat its pretty simple man/woman

Holy crap, did you honestly just explain how to refill a water bottle and call it a hack?
What's the point of making a cup if you can just drink out of the bottle
Lohn Benya for things other than water, or if you have a water source that isn't bottled such as a drum or even a creek. You could use a bottle but it might be easier to drink from a cup. Or it might just give a sense or normalcy which will be important in an shtf situation
a spoon! Yes. Finally something new I can use. No bottle was harmed during this video. The plant pot is cool too
Great stuff! Thanks for sharing.
