I got it
Some times I use toilet paper in my coffee filter funnel. Coffee IS essential... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Oh oh - and I could use my winter sled as an eating bowl. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I suppose my ski poles could double as chop sticks.

Now what else could climbing skins or crampons be used for? Oh I could clean fish with crampons AND I could tenderise meat with them. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> climbing skins - hmmmm.

An ice axe is very multipurpose. As is a shovel - hey a shovel could be used as a plate unless you use it for sanitation purposes. An ice axe serves well as a tent stake and it can shave or chop frozen food like nobodies business. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
