Some great tips! Actually better than cotton balls are (digital sanitary) tampons to use with the vaseline. They come super compressed and are already water-tight as they're fully wrapped. One can easily light three fires with only one of them. You only need to bring a couple of these and a small tube (19g) of vaseline (always handy on the trail) and you're good to go. All you do ist cut about a third, rub with vaseline and then don't forget to carefully pick the cotton ball apart to allow in air (remember the fire triangle). That fluffy ball only needs one spark and you'll have hot fat burning for a long time.

I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for tuning in. Most of my gear is ultralight now but we have to remember that it’s possible to start backpacking and still enjoy it without spending thousands. I’ll be doing a “retro” video soon where I do a trip with my beginner gear I had when I first started.

Good tips. A couple of additional thoughts: 1. You can buy your own dehydrator for the price of about 3 store-bought dehydrated meals. Then you can make whatever meals you want for a fraction of the cost. I've made pastas, curries, risottos, etc for on trail. Cook them at home as normal, then run them through your dehydrator, and then you can put them in vacuum-sealed bags or just in ziplock freezer bags for the trail. 2. The advantage of a pack cover over a pack liner is that it prevents your pack from getting wet. A wet pack is a heavy pack.

Negligent weight and pack cover ALL leak. Mainly because they all have a giant hole in them; the part that wraps around the pack.

@Bacon_N_Backpacking

I have my own dehydrator. I’ve made somewhere around 20 meals or so with it. My main issue is time, I work three jobs and to be honest, I never really prioritize making my own meals. I also prefer the convenience of freeze dried meals, they use less water, rehydrate faster and apparently everyone who makes them is a better chef than me because they taste better lol. My experience with pack covers are that they don’t keep your pack dry. There’s a giant hole in it, if you’re in sustained rains for a period of time, the pack is getting wet and so is your back. Most UL fabrics like DCF and Ultra don’t retain water, so the pack weight doesn’t change much if it’s rained on. Only spots like the straps and hip belt will retain moisture for an extended period of time.

@Bacon_N_Backpacking

15 күн бұрын

Also DCF and Ultra don’t retain water so it’s not a huge deal. If you’re using traditional pack material, I could see trying to keep water off it so your 4 lbs pack doesn’t turn into a 10 lbs pack. With the UL materials that point is kinda moot. Like you said, in sustained rain that pack cover isn’t keeping your pack dry either way lol

Good call on putting the freezer bags in the pot thing. I found the trick with that is to use a larger pot. For example, if I'm trying to make instant mashed potatoes in a 600 ML pot, it's very difficult to do. People laugh at me went I bring an 11ml titanium pot with coozie. Aside from the added bulk, the weight increase is negligible. it just works better and you can put a great deal of food in there and keep it warm for a long time while setting up camp.

Even cheaper than buying cotton balls, use dryer lint. Its free with a typically endless supply. I have been using ziplocs since I was a kid in the 70's and got really good at sucking the air out to save space. I would put extra socks and undies in the large ones instead of using a pack liner. They can also be used with some air in them wrapped in a shirt as a pillow. When stuff sacks and compression sacs started coming out in mass I scratched my head and asked why, seemed like overkill and stupidly expensive.

Freezer bag cooking: use reflectix and make a bag cozy that velcros closed. When you open the lid bends around and velcros on the opposite side to become a handle to hold your hot meal and you eat it right out of the cozy. Look up hmg repack to see an example of something you can make.

I make waterproof firestarters - melt the Vaseline (I use generic brand), dip the cotton ball into it using tongs or tweezers.. set on a tray to dry a few minutes then dip into melted beeswax a couple times. The beeswax will coat the cotton ball and make it water proof. When time to light, just tear it open a bit. The Vaseline will get it to light quickly and the beeswax will help keep it burning longer. I’ve timed it and it lasts about 10 minutes. I also use these in a mini pocket stove to heat my food. Takes longer than the butane/propane stove and doesn’t get the water quite to boiling but for heating food it works like a charm
