I second the pre-preparation of food. When we do fairly short weekend camping trips, I like to cook (and eat) better than hot dogs and chips, so I’ll spend a little time prepping foil packs of food that can go straight into the camp fire.

I put light-reflecting tape on anything that’s dark and I might want to find at night. Things like the navy blue stuff sacks for my tent, sleeping bag and ground pad.

Freeze water bottles for you ice chest and use them instead of loose ice. They last much longer. Your food doesn’t get soggy, and you have water to drink. Freeze a case of them and line the bottom of you cooler. I put about two rows in the bottom and I have had them last also a week. If you don’t constantly open the…

A touch of vasaline can turn this into little balls/pellets for firestarters. You can make a few dozen at home and put them in a small watertight container to travel with. Especially usefull in damp conditions.

Using dryer lint as a firestarter. The reason you’re supposed to clean your lint-trap is because this stuff is CRAZY flammable, so might as well put that to good use! A handful of this stuff and a few sparks from a firesteel and you’ve got a windproof firestarter.

Meh, I could have gone without the additional 4 minutes and 15 seconds that didn’t involve the bunny stealing the cracker and booking it. Also, where the hell in Texas is that? Pitbulls, chickens AND bunnies that literally steal food from the mouths of babes. I want to go to there. And I see your fluffy bunnies and…

Rabbits are mean and scary. Just me? I can live with that.

I’ll grant you that. He just sat there calmly, even when that bunny was clearly about to straight up eat his baby toes.

Bunnies > Babies. That is all.

Thank you for posting. It's important for people to know there's help out there.

Taking this out of the greys because obviously.

Sad. Sad. Sad. This child never had a chance. Addiction kills all. Jobs. Families. Loved ones.

I have no idea how all these posters manage with just 32 oz of water! Between water for 2 small cups of tea and straight up water drinks, I put down about 42 oz every work day.

Is that some weird rule you adhere to or your college's policy? I'm a high school teacher, and I rock my bright pink Camelbak all day, every day. No one's ever said a thing about it.

You can't have your students thinking you drink water the same way they do? How exactly does a professor properly drink water? Out of an old old book from the Civil War era?

An interesting book that I feel applies to this analysis is "Society Must Be Defended!" by French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault. In this book, compiled from a series of lectures he gave, he begins by asking himself what insights might be gained from an inversion of the famous Clausewitz aphorism, "politics…

As someone who was adopted i think it's kind of shitty of Kim going around Thai orphanages trying to adopt a kid on a whim like some stray dog, it's not how it's supposed to work.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA
