Have the quacks change your medication.
Or learn to use your mother-tongue a bit more correct, spelling- and grammar-wise.
Say a non-native speaker of the english language.

Ouch.. That's a bit harsh.

Kolrosing is something that can be done without too much mess and sinple tools.

You could pick up some paracord and make some lanyards/bracelets

If you have a Knife...make sure it's in good condition...if not then now is the chance to get a keen edge on it.
If you already have your kit in good order then maybe prepare some tinder....use a knife to scrape some paper to get nice fluffly tinder...or scrape some wood for the same (I use resinous sfot wood but not sure which) ....then you will have to sharpen you knife again but it all whiles away the minutes and at the end you will be ready and prepared with some easy to catch fire lighting materials.
If you don't have a knife then try and get hold of a book and read up a subject that takes you interrest.

sorry for the spelling but i am dislecsic and spell cheack ant working

Down-time is great for planning things. Grab a pencil and paper and draw things to make, jot down ideas of things to do. Look at maps for places to go, or travel guides.

Or internet shopping for more kit that you don't need! Always fun, that one.

Rearrange your favourite kit in your rucksack, or make up some trail rations by mixing flour and dried fruit and so on. Or grab an identification guide and learn things like plant identification. Reading recipe books is another good way to use time too, and then you end up eating afterwards, which also keeps you busy!

I'll stop now...

If i'm proper bored, and can't get out to things i start to try kolrosing the wooden kitchen bits, like spatulars and spoons, drives the misuss crazy, as I mostly just end up whittling them down to stumps!

Apologies from me. I thought you were one of those way to numerous people who think they dont need any kind of correct language when on the web or writing an sms and they drive me crazy.
My father, when struck down with a bad knee for six weeks a long time ago, took the opportunity to sort all the bolts and nuts he had acquired in sixty years of work, about three buckets full of them.
Alternatively, send someone to the local library and loan books on a subject you know nothing about but always wanted to learn about. One can easily go through 300-500 pages a day when there is nothing else to do. I, unfortunately, know that, too.

Why go to the Library when you can get free audio books from here: http://www.booksshouldbefree.com/

They've got books from the Scarlet Pimpernel to the Communist Manifesto, so I'm sure there will be something there that you like

Hey Womble that site is fantastic, just listened to The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe, i'm in for an evening of Nietzsche I think. thank you.
