I remember a thread in that vein but can't find it anymore. I reused a 1.5 oz saline nasal spray bottle, filled it with denatured alcohol and use it to prime my Optimus white gas stove. Works great, no soot. (Yes, I relabled the bottle.) Any other ideas?

I use plastic 1 pound coffee containers to store my camp stoves. I kept an old shower curtain for a footprint for my tent. I've kept the same wife for 36 years.

ditto on the ETOH and reused contact lens bottle for priming a MSR International. Keep a lot of 4-8 ounce bottles for various purposes. Small fanny pack that on of kids had for a first aid kit. Coffee cans to keep the TP dry, lids/bottoms for stove diffusers. Drink bottle for prefilter on pump. Wishing i could come up with something to make a gravity filter. Necessity is a mother.......

Does she fall under the Reduce, the Reuse or the Recycle heading?

Me too, worked perfectly, cheap too.

I take rechargeable batteries for my camera, flashlight, GPS.

Is this it?

Containers

Yes, thank you.

I respectfully refuse to answer on the grounds that it may tend to incinerate me.

We always cook on a stove thus saving the woods from over harvest of wood.

I think we got the idea from this forum a couple years ago, but anyway, we use the plastic semi-dome top containers that country time lemonade and koolaid mix comes in. We drill a 3/16" hole centered through the top of the lid, run a cord or heavy bootlace down through it and tie a knot cluster on the underside so it won't slip back through. Drill several more 1/8 holes in lid or near top, scre it back on.....wallaa and have a mini leech container for a session of fishing without 'passing the bucket'. Was that you Cowdoc? Whoever it was, Thanks.

I travel a lot, and I always take those half used tiny shampoo bottles from the hotels cause I don't like to throw them in the trash.

once I'm home, I wash them out and use them for everything from hand sanitizer to cooking oil on my camping trips.

I find their very tiny size to be perfect for liquids/gels that I only need a small amount of.

I recycled my wife.
