Two quick tips: I bring a small sharpie and mark my fuel cans after every burn. When I get up to 15 marks the can gets put in my overlanding kitchen and gets used up Jeep camping. I bring sugar free Ricola's and pop one whenever I'm on a long climb. It helps keep your mouth wet when you start sucking air and the menthol opens up the nasal passages so you can keep your pace up.

Moms ROCK!

I’m wanting to sew in a foot box on my quilts too. Lots of great hacks for the outdoors. I like the idea of aqua clip on your belt for some hiking after you get to camp. Great hack for the Ribeyes for the first night. Who was that great looking guy at the end 😂🤣😂😂

Instead of the contractor bag, I use my GG 1/8 pad to organize my gear (and as a back panel for my pack and a mat for stretching). Good tips.

Some really good tips, Crow. I like the Tic Tac container. Good idea. As we age, unfortunately we are probably going to be needing to carry more meds with us! SMH! I have one for you...what is the eventual downfall of most of these little backpack stoves? Corrosion from moisture, overtime, right? Well every dehydrated meal comes with those little moisture absorbing packets in them that we usually just throw away. Why not take that packet and just slip it in with your stove? Change it out with a fresh one every time that you cook another meal. You're packing it out and throwing it away, anyway. Just slip it in with your stove and let it absorb moisture from around your stove as you're hiking (or biking, or kayaking) out.

Cool ideas. I see you do have the fire making gear needed to save you from the cold with your fire plugs and bellow. You must have left them home. LOL. Fanny pack, hmm. I am diggin the water bottle cap. Simple but great idea. I take a ribeye please! Have a great day.

Thanks for the tips. I have been taking ribeye steaks the first night camping this summer. They are sooooo good right on the coals

Found you thru Jeremiah Stringer. GREAT tip on the travel lint roller. I am from the south & never would have thought of that.

Good tips! Especially the ribeye!

Great hacks which are absolutely worth thinking about.

Excellent tips. Thanks for wonderful sharing 👍🤗

I like the fire kit. I’ll bet that helps focus your blowing on the fire.

Great tips, Crow. I've used a tictac container in the past for ibuprofen and vitamins.

Nice ! In regards to small containers that you may have laying about - contact cases and old timey film canisters both work very well....

I use cotton balls or dryer lint soaked in cooking oil or Vaseline for a emergency fire starter in wet conductions, I also use an empty chap stick tube that I pressed in my deodorant to keep the pits fresh. Contact lens cases work great for storing sun block, or cooking spices. I also use a large sheet of Tyvek cut to the size of my tent for aground cloth, super light and tough. A trash compactor bag works great for a pack liner to keep dry goods dry. I really like the small rag your using great video! Cheers! 🥃

I live in London ready to walk of the West Highland way in Scotland in a couple of months. I've watched Endless amounts of camping videos but honestly dude this one comes top of the pile. What a cracking bit of information!! Will be using at least 4 of these tips. Thanks bud👍🏼

Tic Tac containers are GREAT for matches too. I stick the striker to the side of the container. They dispense one match at a time - they're great.

Wow Really Amazing 10 BACKPACKING GEAR HACKS This Your Video That's Great! Thanks for sharing with us! Keep it up Good Job!😍😍😍😍😍

All those hacks work for me. I know Jason would make a cameo. Lol

Good stuff there Crow. The white contractor bag also allows you to see any creepy crawlers that want to hitch a ride while your packing up. Bravo.

Good tips and a lot of them I also use!

Good video. Nice tips. Medicine - I use a mini altoids tin. It's big enough to hold my prescription meds for a couple night trip and some Alieve, Ibuprofin, Benidryl, and Immodium. I also add a couple cotton balls so the pills don't rattle. The normal tic-tac container, I use to put salt & pepper packets that I pick up at fast food places (Mostly Chick-Fil-A) Nice hack for the Get Out Gear blanket. I've been looking for a light weight summer solution. My firestarter kit is a large tic-tac container. In it I have a couple of Mickwick firestarters, mini bic lighter, small fero rod, and a Gerber Dime Multi-tool. I also have a bellows tube (doesn't fit in the tic-tac container. It's the collapsible handle from a Dollar Store campfire cooking fork. Permethrin is great for a general treatment. I ditched the Deet and switched to Picaridin. Deet eats plastic and Picaridin doesn't. Deet also makes me feel weird/funny and makes my skin tingle.

Great gear suggestions Crow!

Very good and interesting your presentation my friend 👍

Genuine and superb. Such a great channel, thank you for showing those essentials.. Great narrative. Wonderful work ⚘

All of your tips are excellent tips Brad! Happy Hiking

Excellent tips! Thanks for sharing!

Well done Crow! I need more ribeyes in my life.

Wow - some awesome tips - like the tic tac container idea! Never heard of the towel, but super cool! The firestarters are cool as well! Looks as though you have some great approaches to organizing! ~Karen & Shannon WOY

Nice hacks.. like the ticktak idea. my 7’ x 4’ tyvek sheet is my go-to ground cloth. And at $7-$8 no biggie. I also carry another tyvek, 3’ x 5’ and maybe unfold it all the way or not, but use it like ur compactor bag. Cheers

Some great ideas there mate.

Very nice. Ways to make thing work more efficiently are always a bonus. 🙂👍🏻👍🏻

I use my Thinlight pad as my gear organizer while I sit or kneel on it when rummaging thru my pack

That's some really great hacks, brother 😁✌️

Very good tips and hacks

Thanks for sharing

Good tips/gear options. All practical and real life use. 🤙🍻

Those ticks always end up in the strangest places! Great hacks! Need to mod out my get out gear blanket to get the foot box. You sold me on getting the enigma earlier this year. Good stuff!!

Very good, Crow. We’re never too old are too experienced for new ideas.✌️

Very nice sir. Good stuff.

Some good ideas there Mr Crow

I always do a steak and fried mushrooms on my first night 😁

Great hacks! Use a few of them myself. 👍

Love that tic tac box idea! Gonna use that one from now on. I also use the quick top bottle toppers. They are great. A hack i use in colder weather is reflectix. I put it under my sleeping pad for insulation and because it's flexible i can use it in the hammock or under the hammock between it and the underquilt 😁 thanks for sharing! Great video!

Great video and hacks! Love the lint brush idea. I would have to add another hack, hiker wine, to go with those Ribeyes ;)

👍😎👍

Awesome info

I can't help but chuckle when you guys over the pond say 'fanny pack'...the former word is counted as quite rude over here, we call them 'bum bags'...The lint roller is a good idea.

Great vid m8 nice food 👌 👍 😋

gatewood, or go lite poncho tarp.....it is a rain, and pack cover, plus a shelter.....jacks r better stealth quilt.....for sleeping and a replacement for a puffy.....also things to keep your head and neck protected.....this makes quite the saving.....

😎 but don't use the towel on hot stuff if it's wet ouch lol

Hey instead stead of that lint roller get a washable lint roller ball. You can rinse it off and it stays sticky. And it can double as a “broom” for your tent floor and a muscle roller

Why has it never occurred to me to use my fanny pack when I go kayaking?? I need to get a waterproof one. Great tips, Crow!

Lettuce of choice? That is funny.

Fire starter for me is either just drier lint or a cotton ball with some Vaseline on it 😁✌️

Good tips! I like picaridin over deet myself, especially since you can spray it on just about everything and it won't destroy your plastics like deet will. I've had some shoes get ruined by deet. As for permethrin, man I love that stuff. Started using it this summer and have been on a few trips hiking for hours through some tall thick weeds and never had a tick on me yet other than a dead one that was on my sock and never made it up to my skin and one that was on my pants which had probably just landed there off of a weed which I then just gave a little flick to send it off.

Sounds great. Good tip on those copper gaskets.👍👍 I've always wondered.......what's the reason / advantage of wrapping the headers?

Great. Instead of the fire blower I use a cheap paper fan

Great video thank you. And I don’t even hike LOL

I always take a coupe days extra of my BP pills just in case. I don't see a problem with spraying the sawyer on the outside of your clothes. works fine for me.

Does the 1/8” pad help with warmth at all as well? I live in Maine and hike/backpack in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. I’m switching to a quilt and recharge UL pad from Paria. I don’t want more weight, but don’t want to be cold

Or some lettuce of choice!!🤣🤣✊️🔥✌️💚

Sawyer works great I use picarden

First...49 seconds after posting! LOL!
