    Make My Pack More Efficient

    For food, depending on your hiking route you may be able to cash some along the way and return to it later in the trip if it works out logistically. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Make My Pack More Efficient

    Looks pretty dang good. I’d add trekking poles to the list. Also, we’ve found that going with one spotter works for us, while we each have bino’s and tripods for most of our glassing time. Might consider that if you both have spotters on your lists. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DIY Dehydrated Meal Storage

    We also freeze ours in ziplocks. They last a year that way, at least. Haven’t had any for longer than that yet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How Long Will DIY Dehydrated Meals Keep?

    We’ve heard they’re good a couple years frozen, 6 mo at room temp, but I’m sure it matters what’s in them. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    DIY dehydrated meals

    A favorite is blue box Mac and cheese. Cook the noodles, dehydrate them, add some cheese sauce and milk powder and some dried sausage. Also did eggs a different way this year - get a dehydrator that goes to 165deg and you can straight up dry mixed eggs on parchment paper. Came out great. We...

    Titanum Jet Boil

    Ya a buddy used to use one, then I showed him the MSR pocket rocket and a titanium cup. Half the price and lighter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Plastic bags for food

    We carry the single serve oil packets too, and add them after rehydrating the meal. Another option that is good in some meals is coconut oil if you’re looking for some variety. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Plastic bags for food

    We’ve found that you need the freezer baggies for the food or they end up with holes due to the dry food while being thrown around all week or they fail with the hot water. I’d definitely use the freezer type. And you can buy a lot of them for $45 if you just use a sweater or jacket rather than...

    DIY Backcountry Med Kit

    Heard a good suggestion somewhere about including stuff for the runs or if you can’t go... might be a life saver. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Backpacking stove wood prep

    Found that these work great and burn cleaner than triox or Vaseline cotton balls. And you don’t have to dig out your lighter every time. https://www.ucogear.com/firestarters/stormproof-sweetfire-strikeable-matches-8-pack-mt--sm--sf8p?returnurl=%2ffirestarters%2f Sent from my iPhone using...

    Wet Wipes

    Go for something that is “toilet friendly” or biodegradable. And dehydrate them - not sure why you’d carry more weight than you have to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Scared to move on from my Jetboil?!

    The only thing you may miss is having an igniter on the stove, but if you do go with a Soto one that has them and is still light. It doesn’t bug me because I always carry a lighter or two anyway. Otherwise I bet your jetboil will gather dust. The difference in time and fuel spent should be...

    anyone have experience with the MSR Trailshot filter?

    Not sure about the trail shot. But check out the sawyer mini filters. They’re half the cost, half the weight and work great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
