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.

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 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.

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.
