>A small ziptie under the trigger of your backup BIC lighter keeps it from draining inside your backpack.
>A dropper bottle with some unscented bleach is a super light way to purify water, even just as a backup. (4 drops/litre)
>baking soda is an effective toothpaste, deodorant, ball powder, disinfectant, and even seasoning.
>near-boiling water in a sturdy bottle, stuffed inside tomorrow's socks will keep you warm most of the night. If you wake up early, replacing the cold water with warm urine saves you a trip into the cold night.
>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.
>always carry antidiuretics in your medical kit. Most cases or "sickness" have nothing to do with water quality, and are actually caused by a lack of wash facilities.
