haha i lovve making my own pipes. I have two that I carved out of really cool wood i've found out hiking, they rip like none other, ones called "the giving tree." Ive rolled j's outta receipts if im really shit up a creek without a paddle, but those are yucky and sometimes the paper catches fire. Apples are a great way to go, just carve out a bowl, you can line it with something if u want, then take a pen and poke a hole through to the other side. pack, and enjoy. ive tried bananas, but theyre too mushy. you can also make a grav bong really simply by taking 2 two liter bottles of soda, cutting the top off one, and the bottom off the other. then u can either use a bowl from a bong in the top of one or just connect the two caps, turning one upside down, and poke a hole thru it, pack that bowl up and hit it. only problem with that is the melting plastic that you dont want in your lungs. got a musical instrument like a trumpet? the mouthpieces to those things make GREAT bowls. good luck in getting your smoke on man, try an apple, its always fun
