A buddy of mine posted this on a forum, quite a cool batch of tips!

I love the idea of a little heat activated glue stick in your kit. Just warm it with a lighter and use it for on the move repairs. Genius, just genius.

[CanadianMike]

Ya, that one caught my eye as well, will have to pick up some glue sticks.

One thing I do use often is Altiod tins and Tic Tac containers a lot, the large 100 count Tic Tac containers I have my steel slingshot ammo loaded into, one for my 1/4" and one for my 3/8" shot, works quiet well (at least for storage, they rattle pretty good). Smaller Tic Tac containers I've been using for a couple years to hold my various fish hooks, lets me separate my favourite sizes of circle hooks and make them easy access.

Good find, very interesting

I'll have to bookmark that page. Thanks for letting us know Mike.

No problem, I know it's a popular subject around here, so decided to share it because there is a LOT of good tips in there for pocket junk.

Have been using samle pots to contain many different items even my misses has used them for small things, the good thing about them is they are waterproof and leakproof also they are available for FREE from most med centre's

I just tried the denture cleaner tip for taking the coffee stains out of the inside of my thermos (that sees daily use with my extremely strong coffee) and it worked like an ultrasonic bath! I haven't see the inside of my thermos that clean since I got it. No stains, no smell. Unbelievable. Good stuff.

Anything to keep a poshcrafter's avatar pic smiling works for me! :D

Wow, thanks for the update on that!!!! I need to do the same to my stainless steel thermo travel mug I've had since 1997 and use almost daily, with the occasional weekly trip to the dishwasher. It's quite brown inside, but all coffee tastes like crap to me, so I don't notice out of the normal bad coffee tastes. ;)

There is one I know I do not know if it has been posted before but if you wear tights under your trousers they keep your legs warm :)

Eating beans a few hours before going out for a walk in the cold keeps your pants warm...... ;)
