    I'll give it a go:  4. Set it up as a table in front of you.
                            5. If traveling with a friend you can use
the
canister as a substitute football for a friendly scrimmage.
                            6. Paint it to resemble you favorite stuffed
animal and have something to hug when you get lonely on the trail.
                            7. Use it as you wash bucket.
