Medicated Gummie Tins

Not to get off topic but I spend a lot of time outdoors camping and hunting. I am always looking to recycle and come up with ways to use things that most people would discard. The tins that the medicated gummies come in from Merlin are the best. I use them to make char cloth you need to remove the paper gasket from the lid first. I punch a small hole in the top of the lid and put some cotton cloth in the bottom, close the lid and set the tin on a bed of coals when you stop seeing the smoke you have char cloth. I use the char cloth to start my fires at camp. I also use them to store a basic fishing kit with hooks, sinkers and fishing line. They are lightweight perfect to put in a backpack, protective case or your back pocket and also if you put a cork gasket in the lid its waterproof. Everybody have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
