Some crafting suggestions and things

[chickenmcfuggits 49]

Some way to make a small improvised explosive out of gas canisters:

Canister + Screwdriver = Improvised explosive that ignites when fired at for a few minutes.

Canister + Matchbook = Improvised explosive that detonates when thrown, but is unreliable.

Improvised exlposive + rope/duct tape or something = Door trap.

 

Stick + stick = Ignites a fire, but is unreliable and takes a while. Cannot be done while damp/wet/soaked/raining.

Stick + log = same.

 

More objects to make splints with:

Using a hacksaw on various objects (or just using the base item) to make a metal/wooden rod such as: Baseball bat, batons, hockey stick, sawed off shotgun/mosin barrels, pickaxes, hoes, pitchforks, etc. Then these could be combined with: Rope, metal wire, rags, etc.

 

Courier bag/hide/clothing + rope = improvised pistol sling.

 

The stuff I mentioned about gasoline here: http://forums.dayzgame.com/index.php?/topic/219142-some-annoyances-i-hope-get-fixed/

 

Duct tape + flashlight: Improvised weapon flashlight for long barreled weapons like the Iz shotgun.

 

Using canteens and water bottles like tiny jerry cans. (Also makes a nice new instrument for torture)

 

Using long handled objects like pickaxes to make a doorjam.

 

Using duct tape/rope/metal wire like handcuffs (is this already possible?)

 

Gas canister + something like a tube + duct tape + matchbook = potato cannon. :)

 

Using rope to safely rappel down from heights, or tie it off to something and being able to climb down/up.

 

Water bottle + duct tape = Crappy improvised silencer. (No matter if it doesn't really work IRL or not, still would be cool only if it works once)

 

Shotgun or rifle + rope/wire = Gun Door trap.

 

Shotgun shells + water bottle = Gunpowder bottle + Matchbook = Gunpowder Bottle Door trap.

 

Gunpowder Bottle Door trap + Long handled melee weapon = A very dangerous (for both parties) one shot melee weapon.

 

Using a partially buried garden hoe as a humiliating trap that doesn't really do any damage. lol.

 

Alcohol tincture + rope = Fuse, you can imagine the rest the recipe would be combined with.

 

Molotov Cocktails, though I'm assuming this was going to be added anyways.

 

Raincoats + knife = A poncho that fits in the assault vest slot.

 

An in-game butane lighter. Or a Zippo!

 

Being able to cut up clothes/hides or something and wrap them around you for warmth.

 

Camelbaks!

 

Clothing + knife = Cloth strips

 

Cloth strips + Sewing kit = Blanket wrap (or something) which could also be used to wrap around you for warmth.

 

Blanket/hide + stick/pitchfork, etc = Improvised tent.

 

Douse rags with water and use them to cool off your character.

 

Pouring water bottles on yourself to cool off your character. Wasteful, but works in a pinch.

 

Boiling/heating water to disinfect food or warm up your dude.

 

Drinking/Eating while prone without having to unequip your weapon.

 

Dissassemble weapon cleaning kit = Alcohol tincture and improvised lockpick.

 

Alcohol tincture + rag/cloth strips = Molotov

 

It's a longshot, but being able to start structure fires on wooden buildings and such!

 

Dissassemble sewing kit = improvised lockpick. (maybe thread as well if its ever added)

 

Screwdriver could also be used as an improvised lockpick.

 

Hammer + Log (or wooden planks) = Barricade door.

 

Hammer + clothing/hide/etc = Window blind.

 

Jogging/Athletic shoes allow you to sprint for longer without getting hungry/thirsty.

 

And much more!
