Using the Bamboo in Different Ways
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Krystal_Bennion]Krystal Bennion

The bamboo has been a favorite material all around the world. This is because the bamboo is already ready to be as it is. It does not need to go through much refinement. One does not need huge machines to cut it down. It grows so quickly that it will take only a few years for it to grow again. Plus, it can be used for various things.

Like in the Asian countries of China, Japan, and Vietnam, you will find that the bamboo is used here to create smoking pipes. Because of the huge amount of bamboos growing in these places, those who will need to craft a smoke pipe can simply choose among the growing bamboos and find one that will work well for this purpose.

If you are in a new place that has yet to be developed, then it is very unlikely that you will survive if you do not know how to fend for yourself. Many who have tried roughing it up by going to some island would scout for some bamboo. They will then fashion the bamboo into the things that they will need. A long piece of bamboo can be used to carry two huge buckets of water. It can be used as a pipeline from a source of fresh water to where you will be setting up camp. That will provide you with clean water that is good enough to drink. It can be fashioned to become a knife. It can be split open to be used as a plate or it can be refined to become a glass. If you are skilled enough, you can even get a piece of bamboo to create a spoon and fork.

Farmers love the bamboo. This is because this material can be used for various purposes in and about the farm. It can be used as a fence to keep the animals in and the strangers out. It can be used as a fishing pole. It can also be used to create a cage for those who have fish farms, crab farms, and shrimp farms.

These are just a few of the things that you can use the bamboo for. You can travel all around the world and never be able to compile a list of everything that this plant has been used. One of the simpler things that it has been used for is as [http://www.bsabcandles.com]aromatherapy candle holders where natural wax is mixed with aromatherapy essential oils right into the bamboo and is then allowed to harden.
