This is a great way of drying your shoes while in your tent/basecamp or whatever. The candles weigh only 10 grams a pop and is very effective in drying your shoes. It is not so much about the heat, but more about the air circulation it creates. It is advisable to soak up as much of the moisture with a paper towel or similar first. This is my Norwegian tips gift to you /out/, for free even.

What are your tips and tricks /out/?

This trick only works if you have two people. If you or your friend get a bloody nose (from anything other than blunt force/being broken that is.) then have the person who has the bloody nose lie on their back in plank position with their heels together and toes up. Have the other person give them a good solid kick in the bottom of each of their heels. This will stop/slow the bloody nose immediately. Don't ask the mechanism of how this works because I have no fucking clue. All I know is that I've had it done to me and it worked, and I did it to some kid at an airsoft range and it actually worked. The kid I did it too said he gets them chronically and usually bleeds for a longer period of time but was incredibly grateful/in disbelief when this worked immediately.

Was gonna say this seems like a huge fire hazard and possibly liable to damage polymer based fabrics or waterproofing.

I'm sure it works great at drying boots but I think handwarmers or just leaving your boots by a larger fire (at a safer distance) would work as well with less risk

Direct heat is bad for (wet) leather shoes. This is a good way to ruin the leather and ensure your shoes fall apart faster. Leather needs to be dried low and slow. I am a little surprised anon does not know this.

You guys probably know this but before you go /out/ in the winter make some soup/hot beverage and pour boiling hot water in a thermos, let it sit for like 15 seconds, dump it out, then dump the soup/hot beverage in it. preheating the thermos will make it stay warm for literally hours longer

>dig a big pit, make it a few ft across (3-4ft) and at least 2 ft deep. it'll be in the center of your dome
>cut a bunch of fresh branches, they need to be 7ft+ because you'll make a teepee/dome with them, they need to be fresh because you'll be bending them
>bind the sticks together into a dome/teepee, leave a gap for an entrance
>take tarp and lay it over the outside of the dome. have enough tarp to cover the whole thing including the top and leave a enough slack for a flap to cover the entrance
>collect a bunch of boulders, try for granite. don't bother with small rocks, get as big as you can carry.
>start a fire, it needs to be pretty big, you want a bed of coals at least 5ft across
>get a thick bed of coals going, and place the rocks onto the coals
>keep fueling that fire getting the stones red hot
>strip down into just your underwear (or butt naked), be ready to get in the covered dome asap
>with a shovel, move the stones from the coals into the pit in the center of the dome, pile em all in there it's okay if they go above the ground line
>get in there and shut the tarp covering, you should be more or less sealed in
>pour water onto the stones and steam should billow out and fill the dome
>repeat this as needed to keep the amount of steam high
>sweat like crazy
Try to get a gallon of water down before going into the dome. have two gallons of water at least with you inside the dome and drink it constantly. you'll have to cover your face and the steam will be uncomfortable. don't cook yourself but keep the steam going. you'll feel you sweat lose viscosity after a while and you'll stop smelling. taste your sweat after a bit and see if it's basically pure water. at that point get out. the open air will feel amazing and you've never felt so clean in your whole life. eat a salty meal after.

Usually. Sometimes it takes forever or bleeds a ton though, to he point where you have to pinch your nose and wait for it to clot. Trick is for when you're hiking/backpacking and don't want to go through a ton of papertowels/cloth and just want the suffering to end quicker so you can enjoy the rest of the trail.

If you make two "okay" hand gestures, and put your pointer fingers and thumbs together so that you make a diamond shape with both hands and blow through it, you can stoke a fire from further away in a more directed area. Works a lot better than just getting down by it and blowing on it. Could also use a straw if you have one.

>river mud on insect bites
Add a hot knife or spoon on the mosquito or insect bite (that itches) works extremely fast and well. Hot enough that it burns slightly, like really hot soup hot. The protein that the mosquito pumps in to keep your wound open causes the itch, but is very weak against heat. Because it's at the surface, the hot spoon or knife (just hold under over a lighter for three seconds) kills the protein and the itch instantly.

piss in a metal water bottle when you are in your sleeping bag and then you don't have to get up. put the warm bottle on the small of your back and it keeps you toasty.

on cold nights i also fill a metal Kleen Kanteen with boiling water and put it in the bottom of my sleeping bag. this is hands down the best way to stay warm while sleeping outside. it's like having a very powerful personal heater, or being in a heated room. try it.

Speaking of winter, my first sub freezing camping trip many years ago, I sat by the fire, smoked a hogleg and drank some liquor. Later that night I wake up with some serious cotton mouth, but all my water was frozen, percolator, bottles and hydration pack. From there on out I always keep a bottle in the sleeping bag with me. Also boil your water for coffee the night before and put it in a thermos, it cuts boiling it again in half.

If you're wearing a US military poncho, wear it inside out. Tie the cordage around your waist, and snap the two sides together at the bottom front. This makes it into a cloak that traps all of the heat around your upper body. It's way more comfortable that way, and better for colder conditions. In warm weather, wear it regularly and it'll breathe through the massive holes all over.
