I find you can also make a rather neet bag out of a towel.

1. PLace small roung rocks in 2 opposite corners about 3" in. Then rap these rocks in the towel corners.

2. tie a peice of string round these to corners, this becomes the strap.

3. place your objects in the senter of the towel and rap the towel round them before tieing this to make it succur.

Diagrams will follow

The uses of a towel are plentiful indeed; I've listed some favourite uses from A to Z...

a> poncho: slit a hole in the middle, put over head, disguise yourself as a Mexican bandito
b> saddle blanket
c> pocket hankerchief (albeit a large one)
d> roll up as a blindfold, in case you face a firing squad (trust me on this one)
e> hand protection for grabbing really hot things
f> sarong
g> Elvis cape (viva Las Vegas!)
h> starch it, draw concentric circles, use as dartboard (this one is still in beta)
i> roll it doubled up, slide along cable with it, yeeeeeeeaahh haw!!!
j> when asked for identification, flash the towel quickly and confidently, get into any place
k> wipe your boots on it when entering someone's home, and you won't have an unnatural urge to take your footwear off
l> a towel bunched up and held to business end of a heater makes an adequate silencer
m> birth control: keep a towel entirely between him & her during passionate moments
o> with a stick frame, make a kite
p> water filter
q> just fooling - there is no q
r> wrap it around head like a bubushka, put pencils in your nostrils, go to work: you'll either get time off, or a promotion
s> dip towel in paint, slap it on canvas, be an avant-garde artist
t> with a bit of string, you could make a parachute - let me know how it works out
u> use towel as screen to project movies onto
v> towel shaving make good kindling (no kidding folks)
w> tie it to end of a stick to make a broom
x> a towel makes a nifty flag
y> use a warm towel to incubate a chicken egg
z> use as a throw rug, to really make your place look spiffy

There you go then, anchors away. (that could be q, tie rock inside towel, make an anchor).
