[@randallcaldwell4611]

Hi from New Brunswick, Canada. Just a tip that works for me. Get ziploc bags for each of your tent lines and put them in the bags every time. It makes everything so easy when assembling your tent ! Totes for everything, marked with what type of camping you are doing. Include inside the tote a pencil, a pad of paper and a cheap pencil sharpener in a ziploc bag. Write down everything you wished you had, and had forgotten and add to the tote when you get home. If you do this you will never be without something you need. Keep another tote for cooking supplies! Dry ingredients, flour baking soda, spices, salt and pepper, etc. Don’t forget the Ziploc with pencil writing pad and sharpener. Another tote with cookware, utensils spare propane bottles, or whatever you write down on the paper pad in the ziploc with the pencil you just sharpened. You have always forgotten something! Now you need a tote with extra rope. Folded up 6 ml plastic, as much as you can carry! A utility tool with grips a Philips head variety screw driver, a torque head variety and a folding bush saw and one of those plastic bottles with various lengths of bungee cords. Again, include the ziploc bag with pencil, pad and sharpener. If you take those totes into your home after EVERY camping trip and restock them according to the items you marked down. You should never be without what you need. Just don’t forget the Coleman stove and fuel, because you probably forgot the propane for your camping burner! Happy Camping! I hope these tips help!😀🇨🇦🐾

As a career public school music teacher, I have to say that I was impressed with your bushcraft trumpet. The fact that you could modulate the pitch as well as you did indicates that you have musical skills. Good trumpet chops- considering your "horn"! In a similar vein, I have a 7 foot long didgeridoo leaning in the corner of my office. I made it from PVC plumbing components and epoxy compound. It sounds exactly like a didgeridoo crafted the traditional way.
