I have a 1.8L Thermos, much like this one:  It doesn't keep the heat in - the outside just gets warm which lets my coffee cool down. Woe is me. It's a decent bit of stainless steel; does anyone have ideas for repurposing? |

Is it still water tight? Micro-cache, put a copy of important documents, some cash and precious metal, a multi tool and fire steel and whatever else you can cram into it and bury it somewhere you're likely to go in an emergency.
Similar use but different. Covert urban survival kit for work/travelling on public transport? Pack in tightly so it doesn't rattle and have a lighter, knife, hankerchief, multitool, first aid items, water filter straw and whatever else you can pack in..
Stove? Rip all the plastic crap off, remove the lid and drill some holes in it. Put your favourite tinder in the bottom and some kindling in the middle. Chuck your metal cup or pot on top and have a warm brew from your thermos... with less of the convenience haha

Austemplar, I reckon I'm heading down to the local Salvos store tomorrow to try and find a cheap thermos to hide my EDC kit in. That's genius  |

Before I looked at that picture and thought about it, I've never considered using a thermos for those uses haha!

Makes me want to take my good thermos and do stuff to it. |
