We've always had a military laundry bag...and it shows the wear and tear of many uses. Primarily, we use it for the obvious, but there's always more function where that came from:
- The obvious: haul laundry or dry cleaning
- Store blankets that you don't have room for on shelves
- Store fabrics for sewing projects
- Keep full of extra blankets, hats, gloves, sweaters, etc. in the trunk of your car for winter emergencies
- Travel/camping/sleeping bag

Emergency road kit (blanket, toolbox, water, flashlight, flares, jumper cables, and an MRE)
Wow - I haven't seen one of those since I was in USAF Basic Training back in 1987
People need a post on Apartmenttherapy to figure out the many ways to use an Army duffel bag? What next, tips on using carpet scraps to soften the floors of work areas in the garage?
Great idea! Finally a way to change the oil and not to get brush burn.
Cut it up and use it as fabric for a blanket or quilt.
Hide body parts (kidding)
-Temporary hold for recyclables
-Great for kids to play with (they like empty boxes also)
-Great for puppies and kiddies to play with, more so for the latter
-Store balls (sports)
-Store Christmas stuff
-Store vaccuum cleaner and/or leaf blower connectors.
that's it for now
a friend of mine once put a piece of plywood inside and made it into a floating wall shelf, anchored/hanging from some heavy rope
I can't believe somebody actually has the balls to sell these for $7.00. They are the scratchiest of fabrics sewn together and a drawstring applied on top. The military gives these out like plastic grocery bags.
