Creative field improvisations.
What are some things that soldiers come up with in the field using available materials.
I have heard of condoms being used to protect a weapon's barrel. Silly string to detect tripwires. Barb wire used for field telephone communication. I am sure soldiers have come up with much more creative examples. Lets hear some of them.

Superglue to seal lacerations temporarily, and that powder the veterinarian gives you for when you over-cut your pet's claws to stop minor bleeding.
I ought to talk to my nephew about this one when he gets the chance to email us (he does every so often). He'd know all the latest tricks.

Paul, I knew you were evil! Using it on privates, sure since using it on POWs is a clear violation of the Genevia Convention!
