We live in a society where the norm is to discard items that no longer seem useful to us.

Today it's the norm to discard items that no longer seem useful.

When items have fulfilled their purpose, they end up getting tossed in the trash without a second thought. Little do most of us know that doing that isn't necessary! With a little ingenuity and resourcefulness, we can repurpose our old materials and give them a new function.

Consider an old garden hose. It might be reaching the end of its lifespan and is looking pretty dirty. It may also be losing its structure, is wearing down, tearing, and maybe even leaking water. However, even though you can no longer use it as a gardening hose doesn't mean it won't work well to use in different ways!

There are actually an endless amount of ways you can repurpose that old gardening hose into something useful — even during SHTF!

On the next slide find out how you can give new life to an old garden hose. You'll feel better knowing you recycled something, and you'll also learn new skills that can benefit you during the collapse!

    You can actually use the water hose to build some old pallets. Then you can use the old pallets to build a three story straw bale house.

    You lost me the minute I saw you guys put it in that stupid format, spreading small bits of info over many pages, just so we can see all the advert crap. I’ll search for this info elsewhere.

    Disgusting way to get people to wade through all your ads and only show one or two things per page, only to be hit with more click bait and ads, won’t be visiting this page again, (del)

    #Trump bragged about groping women, more evidence that he’s misogynistic. This is news how? Now someone will tell me #Hillary is unethical.

    Don’t bother. Most of it is junk. They just want u to see the adds on multiple pages. A snake scare crow? Weave a garden chair and a basket? Who doesn’t already use a hose for a 5 gallon bucket grip once the plastic 1 breaks? The only 1 i found useful is a blade liner. I can split a hose for my axe blade.

    When we used to go rappelling, we used sections of hose to protect the rope on the cliff’s edge.

    Dog toys? Bad idea! Just like shoes, a dog won’t differentiate between “his” pieces and good hose.
