We once got a hold of a box of various camera flashes; from old single bulbs through 110 camera flashes. We wired them up with 9 volt batteries, clothes pins and MRE/field mess plastic spoons. They were very effective early warning devices and screwed with the OPFOR's night vision(natural and electronic)
 .....we put the flashes on the enemy side of the trees so we would not get the flash.

I've heard that the Slinky spring toy was used as a antenna for manpack and vehicle radios in Vietnam.

On the old PRC-77s (it doesn't work with SINGCARS), you could cut off the headphones of a Walkman, strip the wire, and wire it into the Aux antenna leads. Makes the drive more fun, and it doesn't go out over the radio itself -- it just goes into the vehicle intercom.

8-pound test fishing line for "perimeter fence" in wooded area. With cans and rocks for alarm. Spiderwebbed the area to our front. OPFOR got all tangled in the stuff while we sniped them out. This went on for three nights at different locations. Cheap, light, and effective for the purpose intended.

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
