Cheap Stuff that Works

image000000 (68).jpgCamillus Skinning knife - the one with the ~4" blade. Grabbed it for $9 on a flash sale. Has 2 bears under its belt now. Pretty good bargain although it isn't replacing my good skinning knife that is a custom job.
Along with a 3 for $10 amazon kevlar cut glove.

Do you treat the gloves as disposable or throw them in the washing machine? Been thinking about packing them
 
Looks like they don’t make that skinner anymore? Looks like a good one.

I like to have a lightweight cook system when I'm out all day in the cold. I have went through a few iterations and ended up with a Olicamp cup, BRS Titanium Stove, and a tupperware lid I stole from our kitchen. A 4oz isobutane can fits perfectly in the cup and the whole system is self-contained. There's even room for a mini Bic lighter, some tea bags, and a few bouillon pouches for making broth.

I bring this out in my daypack when hunting from a base camp.

The unit weighs about 14 oz but allows me to drink 20 oz of boiled creek water or snow each use (with tea) so it more than pays for its weight in water each use. I only use my carried water if I absolutely have to and can hike for a whole day with a liter of water if I use it once or twice.

It also doubles as my main stove on ultralight trips (though I bring a larger 8oz fuel canister as well).

Hot broth around 2pm on a snowy day of still hunting does wonders!

My setup is almost identical but going to steal the lid idea. Been keeping mine in a quart ziplock bag.

First I've heard of carrying bouillon pouches, that's really interesting. You just drink the broth straight up, or do you put food in there?
