Knowledge Weighs Nothing - Life Hacks, Bushcraft etc
Its camping season, so I figured its time for a repository for all of the cool tips and tricks to be found out there that can make your experience easier and more enjoyable... don't wanna pack a tent so you can really rough it? theres a lot of different shelter designs out there, need to start a fire but forgot the lighter? there are tricks out there for that as well.
It can also branch out into cool knowledge that's useful around the home and in life in general, which is why I threw "life hacks" in there... this thread is for outdoorsmen and everyman. Tell us your trick for saving money around the house, building a fire, catching food, making a field expedient water filter etc. |
I'll start with something a little off the wall...

cotton balls with vaseline. Jam about 10 of them in a small clear bottle. They make great fire starters and will start with one match. If you don't have a match, they take a spark readily from a magnesium bar. I keep this in my fishing backpack, my camping gear, and my truck.

I have one of those 10x10 tents that pop up for tailgates and such. They don't take up too much space in my truck bed, so when I go camping, I set the 10x10 canopy up above my actual tent. No rain or dew issues whatsoever, it only takes 5 minutes to set up, and there are all sorts of places in the canopy top supports to hang lantern, wet clothing, etc. Totally changed tent camping for me.

I'm what you'd call "indoorsy."

I really don't care to sleep in one though... |
Before reclining on your couch recliner, always make sure the remotes and your drink will e in arm's reach. Also, pro-tip, have an extra blanket handy. That way, if you need an arm rest, or even if you just get chilly, you have one right there.

LMAO I suppose that does qualify as a life hack, Sully.
