marylou Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Anyone have a clever way to re-use these? I have enough metal bottles now to decommission my old Nalgenes... Quote
hafilax Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 vases planters run them through the dishwasher and give them to your enemies (not that you have any ) Light them with LED's for ornaments paint storage Fill with sand and make a bola poop tube mooring floats displace water in the toilet tank to reduce Gallons/flush get some sodium and make primitive grenades pipe bombs for that matter Quote
ScottP Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 get some sodium and make primitive grenades ...or dry ice. Quote
woodchips Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 ...or dry ice. We tried that. They're too tough. They'll be around for millenia. Quote

woodchips Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 I fill 'em with water and freeze them. Makes great ice in the cooler and doesn't get the cheese soggy. Quote
fenderfour Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Fill them with water and drink. Refill as necessary. Or die in fear. Quote
summerprophet Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 OLD Nalgenes are fine. The so called toxins are completely released after two years with regular use and exposure to UV rays. You seriously replaced all your bottles? How long until the consumer bulletin about metal bottles? Quote
sklag Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 you could always send them to me for testing... Quote

sobo Posted October 17, 2008 Posted October 17, 2008 Piss bottle What Rob said. However, the liter bottle is probably overkill, unless you have a huge bladder. I find that a 16 oz Nalgene is the perfect size to drain my bladder while remaining in the tent after a night of heavy drinking. Witness the most recent Rope-Up. Make sure you ID the bottle some way. I have a "jolly roger" label on my piss bottle to make sure I don't accidentally use it as a drinking bottle. And also what hafilax said about displacing water in the toilet tank to reduce the flush volume. Fill with water one time and sink them in the tank. Waaaaaaaaaaay better than bricks, cuz the bricks eventually break down and may discolor the shitter. Not that there's anything wrong with that... Quote
Maine-iac Posted October 20, 2008 Posted October 20, 2008 OLD Nalgenes are fine. The so called toxins are completely released after two years with regular use and exposure to UV rays. Source? Err.... The FDA. Also think back to when this issue first came around; what just came out? Sigg. Also, if BPA did do anything bad, you would already be screwed so stopping use wouldn't actually help any.

sobo Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Geocahces... AKA litter with purpose. there's actually a purpose to geocaches?? Quote
PhöQ Posted October 21, 2008 Posted October 21, 2008 Geocahces... AKA litter with purpose. Kinda like bolts eh? Quote
Hendershot Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I could have sworn I saw some comedic list from like backcountry or something. Has anybody seen this? I am still undecided? Quote
