    I used mine on the AT last year during the drought. I caught water off the roof of Mollies Ridge shelter during a passing storm. One quart that I was glad to get and surprised that it never made me sick – it was a nasty color even after filtering.

    1) Packraft sail
    2) Parachute your pack off a small cliff before a forced downclimb
    3) Lower your dog off a small cliff before a forced downclimb
    4) Toreador kit for dealing with bulls
    5) Skin for homemade coracle
    6) Sling for broken arm
    7) Hammock?

    Rain catch. Semi-effective solar still.

    Sink. If you have a ccf (closed cell foam) pad, roll it loosely and stand it on end, tie cord around it. Put poncho over it and form a bowl on the upper end of the column formed by the ccf pad (if you're hiking with a friend and they have a ccf pad too, double it up for a more stable base). Voila, a nice wash basin for cleaning up.
