Got a dog? Use doggy poop bags? Getting tired of breaking those chintzy plastic holders and buying new ones?
I was.
Drill a hole for paracord in the lid, take a saw and cut a 1” square in the side...
Et voila...
I managed to get a pretty nasty 2nd degree burn across my forearm last week, changing out the propane tank on a hot grill.
(At an AirBnB, so, not familiar with the poorly designed grill.)
Being away from home I just ignored it (kept it clean) and by the time I got home it had scabbed over and I just let it be.
FF a week and it's healing slowly, thickly scabbed and still painful from the pulling skin/scab.
Yesterday, I remembered we had some SSD cream stowed away in the bathroom cabinet. Applied the cream every few hours through the day and 24 hours later all I have is a healthy-looking pink scar. Scab is gone. Pain is gone.

I can neither confirm nor deny that I may, or may not have utilized a hotel washcloth in such a manner. However, if I ever had done so I can assure you that I would have diligently rinsed out the washcloth in the sink, leaving it no worse than if I had used it in the shower, if I had...
I keep two of those in my EDC bag. In hotels I kick them under the door. Not perfect, but they work at keeping the door closed. I use them and recommend them in my Civilian Response to Active Shooter courses. They make the door much harder to open and buy you time. A determined person can get the door open, but that is true of deadbolts and other door securing gadgets.
This is a concept you can test yourself and see if you like it.

Surprised that I didn't think to add this one: Melody Lauer's Holster Hack:

Did it today with my EDC. Still works great, and as comfortable as ever.
Excuse me...but is that a Glock? I thought you'd moved on from them. I guess it's completely untrue that you can't go home again. (And again, and again, and again.)
