>small Gatorade bottles make excellent storage containers for things such as instant coffee, powdered milk, or near-boiling water.
>dehydrated food doesn't actually save any weight if you also have to carry in all your water. Don't fall for the meme.
>It's easier to build fires with deadfall than it is to process firewood.
