Cheap Stuff that Works

My wife is who. She goes through a tube about every 2 weeks...

I didn't mean chapstick specifically, my wife is the same.

Other items though, are odd or huge volume and must be pretty specific to need a subscription.
 
That’s a great idea, gonna start bringing some

I do the individual bone broth packs from Costco. Beef and chicken. Same idea but a good amount of protein too. Think an individual sodium drink packet you add to water, super light for what it is. If it’s end of the day and I haven’t used it I just add it to my dehydrated dinner for a sodium and protein boost when I add the water.

Disregard if it’s already been said in the many pages!

I do the same as this guy. It’s great.

The ingredients on regular ol bouillon cubes aren’t great…
 
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?
Just drink it straight while it's pipping hot. Probably the best drink for halfway through a cold day. Basically a free bowl of stew broth that weighs a few grams.
 
I want to give a shout out to the Kelty Cache Hauler frame pack. It’s an external frame, with all the limitations of that design. But as a pure load hauler it’s excellent. You can grab them on sale for $120.
 
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!

I lost the lid to my pot a while ago and have been too cheap to buy a new one. Gonna try the tupperware lid trick. Thanks
