Trying out my new zero chair this weekend. Like those little wipes, need a sack full for the car. Last easy hike for the kids they're gonna have to keep up with grandma soon. When I saw y'all fighting that tree I thought of my old uncles on a family camping trip. John (grey feather) said " white man big fire stand back and freeze, Indian build small fire sit close stay warm." And all around the fire shuck their heads in agreement. He had spent alot of time on the resevation. I had been one of the kids sent after wood with clear directions on wood size and type and exactly where to look. No saw necessary, always dry wood even in in the rain! Loved camping with that crowd!

[@markpanarese2452]

Agree with Jeremiah I’m gonna check those WYSI towels out for my poop kit. Long tangent incoming, Loved the Andrew Skurka podcast. He used a phrase I think it was “Charmin Blossoms”. With so many more people going into the back country not using cat holes and leaving TP around I thought that phrase perfectly stated what is happening. I was listening to another podcast today “Trust the trail” They mentioned adding those doggy poop bags you get at the pet store to your poop kit to help with LNT and packing out your TP. Dig your cat hole, do your business , bury the poop and use the doggy poop bag to pick up and seal away the TP and pack it out. I thought that was a genius way to help remove the “charmin blossoms” from the trail and help with LNT. What ya’ll think? Am I totally crazy? Keep up the great work!

Straw for a smart water or life water bottle can be made from 1/4” plastic tubing (the kind used for water supply to your refrigerator ice maker). Measure the length you want and cut. The tubing slides into the sport flip cap on either bottle.

I use a camelbak bladder in my backpack. So, no bottle holder needed.

Completely agree on the GSI mug. I still use just my toaks 650 for a mug when I am using my 24 L stealth daypack backpacking kit because of limited space, but that GSI comes with me on every other trip. Another important piece of kit is my Planters Peenut jar. This is the 20 oz size which gets me through the night. As you get older, you will find this very useful.

Hey John, good list. Get yourself a Bahco 396 XT7 folding saw, the hi-viz better bladed version of THE bushcrafter's choice Bahco Laplander. It cuts better than that Silky (i have that one too and hate it, comparatively) and the teeth don't break like on the Silky. Plus, it's lighter weight and a sleeker design. Cheers!

Hey Canadian Prepper and the prepping community. Something I've been pondering the last few weeks is if there's a bad SHTF moment, and we survive into micro-communities, is this: What are we supposed to do with the community waste/trash? I've searched for information, but I'm not finding a lot of info regarding what to do with community trash, human excrement since plumbing won't be working forever, etc. Most, if not all, know the importance of sanitation, hygiene, disease/vermin and what it can do to communities and civilization if it isn't controlled. Can it be done in a safe environmentally friendly way during an SHTF situation? Might be important to address?

My go-to is the Cold Steel Spetznaz Shovel. Sturdy, no moving parts to break or pinch, can be used to dig a latrine, level your sleeping area, chop light firewood, use as a close-in defensive weapon, and it's fun to throw.

[@mtpstv94]

I thought neck gaiters were common sense :-P. Bandanas too. Many uses for both. Wet them when you're hot. Use as towels. Extra shoestrings - if you don't bring these you are making a big mistake. One of the most essential things to have. Just consider for a second the trouble you will be in if your shoe strings start to come apart. Imagine walking even 3 hours with no shoe strings. I've been there, while walking down a literal mountain. One of the worst things that can go wrong. The skin might just be rubbed completely off the bottom of your feet at the end due your feet moving around inside the shoe. By that I mean disconnected but still attached. You'll see what I mean if it ever happens.

[@1FAST91SONOMA]

if you want to save weight and have a single item pull double duty swap any cordage you have for kevlar cordage. Not only is it super light and small compared to any version of paracord it is much stronger for the size and it can stand up to great deals of pressure and heat. Wrap a tent stake on either end as handles and it will work as a saw. You can easily cut through surprisingly large pieces of wood this way. It can also still do anything your current cordage can with the exception of pulling apart into longer, thinner cords but with the 0.5mm cord being able to support 50lbs its plenty thin already. 2mm can support 500lbs, making it a much smaller and lighter paracord replacement.

In this day a buff can be a face mask during town resupply on long distance hikes, gsi is too expensive and heavy , get a microwaveable soup cup. Love the wysi wipes, avoid fires, take pack off, sit down and take a water and snack break.✌️

[@lindatisue733]

Neck gators,yes but make your own. Ninety-nine percent are synthetic, the fibers are bad for the environment, if you are prone to acne or eczema irritates skin. Easy to make, use an old tshirt, or cotton knit. Wet wipes NO. They are synthetic too, more microfibers in to our waters. Make some wipes out of old cotton sheets probably don't need more than two a day. if you don't want to pack them out they can be used for fire starter or buried since the biodegrade. I always take an emergency blanket, mylar blanket. In Sweden, even in July the temps can get low enough a standard sleeping bag isn't enough, also might help a fellow camper that didn't pack warm enough.

Instead of that fold-out pocket saw, have you tried those survival saws that are like 1.5 feet of serrated cable with a ring or loop at each end? I think they're also called rope saws or wire saws.
