Old packrat here!
Use old pantyhose to tie up tomatoes or other veggies in the garden.
Empty coffee cans with plastic lids for storage of small items.
Metal lid removed from coffee can to cover knot holes in the barn to keep out mice.
Empty cat litter pails are great to fill with small pieces of wood/branches for kindling. Fill others with pinecones to use for fire starters. Put a lid back on an empty pail for an instant, portable stool to sit on.
Empty mayo jars to screw onto special "lids" to hold starter crumbles for chicks, ducklings.
Baling twine - can't have enough!
Aluminum pie tins - attach to a length of baling twine and hang in the breeze to scare wild bird scavengers from poultry feed.
Rubber bands, plastic bags, string, and twist ties - always handy.
Wire coat hangers - reshape to hang bird feeders or suet. Cut and bend to form a door hook.
Any and all lumber, windows and doors.
Stuff dryer lint into empty toilet paper cardboard tubes for firestarters.
