Using the engine or exhaust of a vehicle to heat your rations. They did it with the C-rations and we did it with the MRE's slap em on a hot engine and leave em for a bit. Hot chow!
Burried soda cans with fishline comming from them, I did this once in a training area and poof instant denial, they didn't know what they were up against.
Old Foam Sleeping mats cut into pieces and used for:
Pads for the cartridge belt or shoulder harness or pack straps, insoles for boots and as a helmet liner. <I also used those foam pieces used to ship SAW drums in the ammo can worked perfectly>
Empty Sandbags as a pack organizer, 1 per external pouch, 1 for chow, 1 for ammo, 1 for laundry, they kept all of that item together and also cushioned it slightly, protecting as well as silencing it.
Empy mortar round cartons or grenade cartons to hold or protect items, Ammo cans as a waterproof strong box.
MRE creamer and cocoa powder as a firestarter
Heat Tabs in a Smoke grenade for a feild expedient tear gas
