Cheap Stuff that Works

[blind-squirrel]

Negative, but at that price how long do they need to hold up? I would just use them for some organization in the bag, possibles pouch and such. Maybe don't fill em full of heavy stuff and hang them from a tree.
I doubt they'll cure cancer.

Totally agree. I was just wondering... thanks!

I picked up a USMC issued goretex bivy sack for cheap. Packs down to about the size of a nalgene.

Weaver Classic K6 (6x38). Best optics of any scope I've seen under $400, holds zero and weighs 10 oz.

Costco merino blend socks! I prefer them to Darn Tough or Smartwool.

Another vote for the Wrangler pants. They are awesome! Stumbled upon the shorts a few years ago on closeout for $15, couple days later went back for 4 more pairs as well as 4 pair of pants. I love them, especially in the summer in warm/hot that's all I wear. fairly durable, very cool, and dry super fast.

My tent would have been in orbit without these. They're a knockoff of the MSR cyclones

Small empty coffee can + roll of toilet paper minus cardboard roll + small bottle of rubbing alcohol = amazing light weight back country heater for tent.

Can you explain more? Intrigued...

I think you can do this with one of those stubby sterno candles too.

I learned it from my ex-girlfriend's father. He would heat an entire RMEF canvas wall tent with it. Was literally the craziest thing I ever saw. It blew my mind. I have kept an old small Folgers can filled with toilet paper and a small bottle of alcohol in my pack ever since.

Seriously, it generates an insane amount of heat...

I love those Wrangler pants and shorts. Have several pairs.

Good thread. Love cheap durable gear that is most times overlooked becasue of non-name brand. Thanks!

I’ve had great luck with cheap Mountainsmith trekking poles. I have thought about getting a higher end pair, but won’t do it until I need new ones. These cheap ones, they just won’t die

Reflective guy lines. I've used these two before. Keeps you from tripping over them in the dark.

Hey now wait just a minute! I thought this was the ”cheap” gear thread. That toilet paper heater‘s gotta be runnin’ about $117 per roll these days!

Thanks for the good info and hot tips everybody. Good stuff.

Prana Zion pants. Love them
