I dont even feed my crabs and they dont die! Does feeding them make them stop itching? i find the itching so irritating, hot water does not work either. Anyone have a DiY for getting rid of crabs?

might I suggest instead of matches which you can only use once, a glasses lens or magnifying glass you can start a fire with these (during the day) and use it over and over but you should leave some matches in there in case you get stuck at night

yes, because everyone I know has a bottle of CRAB FOOD lying around. but in all sincerity its a pretty good idea.

ah, you have proven me wrong. you do have to admit it is a rather odd commodity. but as i said before, it is still a good idea. i would, however, suggest that you do go the extra mile and get strike anywhere matches, they are the best. dont get those ohio blue ones though, theyll light if you so much as look at them wrong.

You need to add a razor blade and fishing hooks.

If I may add something to this...safety pins. You can use these to make fishing hooks. You'll have to use the small ones, not the ones used for diapers. You can use the string for fishing line.

good instruc... but i c a flaw in your logic. if you put in matches without the heads just for kindling...you might as well put in whole matches because u still have the stick, just an added bonus on the top.

Good Job! I'd add a couple of safety pins - very versatile and not much in volume. Also a piece of striking paper (from the side of the match box) would fit nicely inside of the lid.
