Cheap Stuff that Works

[carsonkeys]

Now you tell me!!??! Haha, the large came yesterday, and I will absolutely need an XL. But I will keep it as it a snug underlayer, or if I ever become deranged and need to take gym selfies....

HAHA! Sorry brother!

I did the same thing... will get a large in the mail Friday.

Esbit pocket stove. When many people are “just” using their stoves to heat up and boil water, this is a very easy, inexpensive option. Works well with a single pot and a variety of mountain house meals.

Another would be an alcohol stove made out of a beer can or cat food can using Heet which you can buy at most convenience stores.


Also "bridge camera" from a couple of years ago. I bought one for less than $100 and use it with the 50X zoom at the rifle range as well as out hunting. If it gets drenched or dropped it won't break my heart like a newer more expensive camera would.

One these trangia burners is a heck of a lot better than a cat food/tuna can stove. I’v used trangia’s for years. https://www.amazon.com/Trangia-Spirit-Burner-with-Screwcap/dp/B000AR7970?th=1&psc=1

I have a habit of loosing pocket knives, so I switched to a Stanley knife for edc. A little over $5 at Walmart online if you watch the price. Works great, lightweight and easy to put an edge back on. I just bought 2 extra to put back.

I've posted this a few times, but Zip Loc bags work wonders in place of pull outs and such...cheap, light

SwissGear synthetic fill puffy from Walmart...~$20
I wear one plus a shell at -20F while splitting wood all winter long in Alaska.

Cheap over 10-20 years in terms of lifetime warranty, return with no questions asked,
even with "normal wear and tear";

Darn Tough Socks, Leupold optics,

I got a pair of these keychain tweezers a while back and was surprised by how often I found myself using them. I wish there was a better retention system though as I always worried about losing them (and just did over the weekend). Good thing they're cheap.

Would there be any interest in a pretty damn good tripod for ~$40 you can stand behind? (75”+) It will probably get a lot of hate, but I love this thing.

Can't even begin to count how many times I've sat on top of a windy peak with lips split and bleeding as I curse myself for forgetting this cheap essential..."f-ing everytime!"

It also doubles as a fire starter if you get the right kind.

It will also fix a leaking tent.

GSI infinity backpackers mug. Less than 10$. Way better than eating cold oatmeal or having cold coffee. Insulated with lid at 3.5oz.

Taco Bell hot sauce packets. They are free and delicious.

Do you have a Taco Time around? You will not be disappointed!!!

Wrangler stretch hiking pants. $21 @ Walmart. They probably won’t wear as well as Pranas, but they’re quarter the price.

I discovered these pants last year and have 2 pairs now, which I almost always wear on my days off from work. They fit great and very comfortable.

I have not been to a taco time. Del taco, taco John and chalula packs from 7/11 are awesome too.

I can’t seem to figure out the quote function... Look up wrangler outdoor series flex waste

Are these the pants you guys are talking about? Keep in I’m up in Canada.
