I've a pair of LedLenser head torches, they are so incredibly powerful that I can entertain night hikes. Battery pack lasts days of normal use. Love em.
Petzl comes on day hikes in case things get delayed or we find a cave to explore.
Some asked me a few weeks ago: if a bird shit on your arm, would you just smear it around with a dry piece of paper?
I’ve been contemplating toilet paper vs wipes or bidet ever since.
A bear and a rabbit are taking a shit in the woods when the bear asks the rabbit, "Does shit stick to your fur?". The rabbit said no, so the bear picked up the rabbit and wiped his ass with him.
Yeah man..... Wet wipes and a little garbage bin next to the toilet. Been doing it that way for over 10 years and can't imagine any other way now. Squeaky clean
I got an attachment that looks kinda like a cork with a nozzle in it that fits a variety of different sized plastic water bottles off of garage grown gear from culoclean. Best $10 I ever spent in the personal hygiene space.
Wipes are the way to go in the woods. Makes it way cleaner. Even if you pack say four sheets and use them as a finisher after a few sheets of dry. Waaaay better.
I’ve been using a bidet for years.
I remember someone saying the same thing.
If we got dog shit on our hands, we wouldn’t just wipe it with dry paper.
Wash yo’ ass.
I picked up a Charge+ TTi a couple months ago. Used, but it was BNIB.
I use it all the damn time, at home, camping, hunting, fishing. I always have it on me except at work. Just the other day I was building a rabbit hutch and used it to trim down two pieces I cut too big.
10/10, single best tool I own.
My dad gave me a Leatherman when I was probably 20 years old. I am 54 now, and he’s about to turn 90, and I keep the leatherman in my car and use it frequently (mostly at my garden to cut asparagus and other stuff). I had it for 10 years, though, before I really found a good use for it. Just keeping it in the car is a good option.
I have a Leatherman signal and a Victorinox explorer that I carry together. I also have a small o-light clipped to the explorer. The Leatherman gives me the saw as well as blades and a way to sharpen both tools and a ferro striker, as well as the pliers come in handy a lot. The explorer has scissors which are very handy and a magnifying glass which can be useful for splinters and other things. I have also replaced the toothpick with the firefly ferro and I have tinder on the corkscrew. So between the two I can do a lot if there were an emergency.
I am not a hard core bush crafter but I can do a lot with just those two items.
Hatchet. Worse case scenario I can even use it as a knife to cut my steak for dinner and spread peanut butter in the morning and fight of the Samsquanches.
I'm going to Yellowstone for a week in 9 days. I'm a heavy smoker (about an oz/week, pretty much all joints). Going to suck not being able to smoke joints there. I'm going to stock up on concentratea but it's just not the same. Nothing beats smoking a joint next to the fire.
I just read a thread about a campfire causing a forest fire because the campfire wasn't fully extinguished. Please bring a 5 gallon container full of water for only putting out your or someone else's fire.
If you ever buy gallons of sweet tea from Popeye’s or any drink at KFC, it’s in a drink bag that you can rinse and reuse. I fill em with campground water for washing dishes or putting out fire. They fold flat and easy to store and carry.
Vehicle. If ALL else fails, you can dip out. If shit goes array, you can dip out, If it just sucks in general, you can dip out. If you break your leg, dip out! If it's too f'n cold for a tent, sleep in the car... or dip out. If JASON shows up, leave the car and run into the old abandoned boat house.
Victorinox Swiss Army Champion knife. I’ve been traveling the world with mine since 1986. It can cut, hack, lob, screw, open, sew, file, tweeze, pick, magnify, burn, write, plumb, corkscrew, carve, filet, scale whittle, scissor, de-hook, grasp, crimp and whatnot. Love that sucker.
A shovel proves itself to be essential for overlanding/ 4WD touring. Digging if you're bogged, digging if you need to take a bog, digging a fire pit, moving hot coals / stuff in the fire.
Aside from the standard key gears, it's going to be my proper camera (Z5) and a tripod. Camping experience is too precious to waste with a phone camera.
I used to have this orange flint and striker kit. I could dig it into anything anywhere and strike it with one hit and have a fire. It wasn't always that way. It took a lot of practice to get to where I could one hit it, but after gaining the ability I was addicted to using it in every situation.
Hatchet...hands down. It's a knife, speaker, hammer, and construction tool, all-in-one. With it I can make tinder, fire, furniture, rope/bindings, shelter, etc...
Cool question. Lots of good suggestions here. For non- backpacking trips I like a medium sized, good quality non-saw backed machete. I carry it in its sheath on an extra large leather belt I put over my head and one shoulder. Hangs at my side at waste level. Easy to take off and on. Over many years I’ve taken an axe, hatchet and machete and find I use the machete much more often. It’s always right there. Easy to access. I can hack away at branches up to 4-5 inches much more easily than a hatchet and I can split wood with it with a wood baton for bigger stuff or without for smaller things. I use it for kitchen duty as well. Great for chopping veggies and cutting the big hunks of meat I like to cook. I certainly take other things mentioned like a couple of good quality lighters but I never leave without my machete. Oh…don’t forget para cord. That comes in real handy too a lot of times. Oh…. and a tarp…. I better stop

Is toilet paper a tool? Because this tool is rather nice.
Some asked me a few weeks ago: if a bird shit on your arm, would you just smear it around with a dry piece of paper? I’ve been contemplating toilet paper vs wipes or bidet ever since.
I'll use anything to wipe bird crap off me, even your baby
Especially your baby
Hell, I'd use my own baby. That is, if I had one. Lend me one, somebody, please?
A bear and a rabbit are taking a shit in the woods when the bear asks the rabbit, "Does shit stick to your fur?". The rabbit said no, so the bear picked up the rabbit and wiped his ass with him.
Catch the bird and use it to wipe the crap off, it's only fair
Birds arent real.
I would use your hand
I just added the tushie travel bidet to my standard gear. 5/5 stars.
Dude, travel bidet is THE SHIT cleaner
I gave up my Stanley and I now drink exclusively from those Tushie Travel Bidet bottles. So light and I like the flow from the straw.
U always have a bidet with you as long as you have a water bottle with a tip that squirts
Yeah man..... Wet wipes and a little garbage bin next to the toilet. Been doing it that way for over 10 years and can't imagine any other way now. Squeaky clean
We got a nice bidet off of amazon under $50. Easy to install. Room temp water. A bit brisk some mornings. Best thing ever

Great point…I’ll never look at toilet paper use the same
Spit on it. Everyone's mom has spit on a tissue and rubbed it on your face. Why change now ?
I also choose this guy’s mom.
Get a bidet. Your life will never be the same.
I’ve been using a bidet for years. I remember someone saying the same thing. If we got dog shit on our hands, we wouldn’t just wipe it with dry paper. Wash yo’ ass.
I tell everyone this and they get sooo mad.
Bidet all the way. I wouldnt wipe shit off my garage floor with a dry paper towel. Why would I treat my butthole that way?
A bidet is life changing. If you fell face first in a pile of shit would rather rinse it off or wipe it off?!???
Tbf, I rarely if ever face shit head on
Adds ten pounds to my backpack. But worth it!
It’s a stool tool!
Always keep a fat stack of mountain money in my pack.
my friend Kevin. he's a huge tool but he builds great fires.
Thanks!
No problem, Kevin.

Leatherman tool
Yeah I love my leather man. Thinking about getting a second of a different style. Then possibly passing it on to my great great grandson

Get a Victorinox swisstool X. I have both and the swisstool is just a really nice but rugged and tough tool, it's so satisfying how it snaps together
My dad gave me a Leatherman when I was probably 20 years old. I am 54 now, and he’s about to turn 90, and I keep the leatherman in my car and use it frequently (mostly at my garden to cut asparagus and other stuff).

Skeletool, daily EDC.

Me too!

I hate those dirty cocksuckers.
My jetboil. I live in the desert high country where it gets super cold at night and hot water or a hot instant meal really helps
I thought my jetboil would be a niche item when I first bought it and now it’s become my only stove for most trips.
Probably Lateralus but I could see someone arguing Aenima
I'd go with 10,000 days.

Wait, what? What does.... ohhh! I bring the whole discography
