Cheap Stuff that Works

Just got back from a week long hunt. Was able to take in about a liter extra of water a day from puddles, springs, and a beaver pond. Hot broth and tea everyday!

I had the same idea of attaching a rubber band to the lid pot to keep it from rattling around in my pack before I left of my last outing. Ended up not doing it, and now it’s somewhere in the mountains haha
 
I mean if the flavor you most associate with ramen or pho is sriracha then sure. To be honest I didnt like drinking it cold. And if its hot it needs noodles in it.
I don’t understand some of the words you used, but if this tastes anything like chicken ramen broth then I’ll be a big fan.
 
Not everything should cost an arm and a leg. Post any inexpensive stuff you’d recommend that just flat works.

I’ll start with a Mora 711. ~4.5 oz with sheath, easy to sharpen (and resharpen in field), and the textured rubberized grip is fantastic. Easy to grip and your hand doesn’t tire after several hours of boning.

$15

Mora 711 Carbon Steel 4 Inch

Heavy duty window shrink wrap - makes a great meat tarp or even a groundsheet. With some duct tape you could probably rig an emergency shelter.

6 oz for a 5’ x 10’ sheet, can be cut to size.

$7.94

Just to add a few more things for those who are interested in saving money.

1. The merino socks that Costco sells you can get them once they go on clearance for about $5 or $6 dollars really great quality for the money.

2. Orvis pants at Costco are great for hunting only weight 12 oz and with a base layer you can use in colder weather. On clearance for about $6 as well. Last year I got 4 pairs.

3. The Eddie Bauer sun hoodie at Costco got them on clearance for $7 this year. They can be used as base layer or during hot weather.

4. USA Polartec Silkweight shirt and bottoms got them on offer up for $2 each. I found the shirt wicks moisture incredibly and no need to spend over 70 dollars on a brand base layer. The shirt weights only 5oz and dries super quick.

5. The USMC fleece 1/2 zip polartec great for layering weights only 10oz in size small. You can find them at yard sales or military surplus got mine for $3 a couple years ago.

6. SKSOT Fixed Blade Skinning Knife from Amazon $14 great skinning knife. Or the Old Timer 152OT Sharpfinger 7.1in S.S. Full Tang Fixed Blade Knife for $10 more. Some friends have them they rave about the Old timer skinning knife.
