Rip/Tear up cargo pants

[kavemandayz 14]

The stream last week mentioned needing burlap sacks to 'create' camo for tents and other items, but I have an idea that may or may not be easy/feasible.  Can we rip and/or tear up pants (and camo jackets) to create camo and other items?  Maybe we'll need a knife or shears to tear them up, but when they're ripped up they have TONS of uses.  They could be tied/braided together to create camo, rope-swings (to get out of windows), they could be used to make splints, they could be wrapped around fore-arms to help stop zombies or knife wielding bandits.  Maybe the strips are used to help fix backpacks (same strong material).

 

 

Other ideas I have is combining rope so that we actually have lengths of rope, fish/crap cages on the coasts by wooden docks for food generation.  Needs:  Sticks and rope/strips of cloth.

I don't know about wrapping it around peoples arms but the other ideas are cool

I'm trying to remember the movie where the character tied several sticks parallel to his forearms and it helped protect his forearms from whatever he was being attacked with.  But, it's also 4 am, so who knows what's going through my head.

(Unrelated somewhat)I have no idea why we need to rip up clothes in order to bandage ourselves.  Why can't we tie a piece of clothing around the injured area without having to rip them into "bandages"?  Wouldn't that be logical to do too?
