  1. A fresh egg mixed into your oatcake can help hold it together. And it makes us more handsome too! Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

  2. When camping, some fresh fruit is a tasty treat. And - kinda good for us too. Many fresh fruits are easy to crush or damage, think bananas or grapes. One that works for me is oranges. They can take rough handling and still be OK. Plus, they are still clean and edible inside theirs skin. Tangerines are just as nice. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

  4. I carry a large onion or two along, to add to foods. My supper is usually a tortilla with refried beans and diced onion. I get a pack of freeze dried refried beans, divide them into serving size, and put the servings into individual sandwich sized Ziplock bags. Add dried seasonings to each bag. In camp, I heat water, add some to a cup for tea, and some in the little bag of beans. While they rehydrate, I dice some onion onto a tortilla, and enjoy tea. I carry tortillas inside 2 plastic frisbees. Frisbees serve as a carrying case, plates, and toys. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

  5. On top of your wooden grill (patent pending)😏 an aluminum foil tent would be a benefit. Especially if a rain wandered into camp. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

  6. Similar to you, at the end of a day canoeing and or camping, I have a shot of single malt scotch and a cigar or corncob pipe. I celebrate having made it through the day, aye god! Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

  7. Reference your bed of coals with log edges. Sometimes, instead of the 2 edge logs being parallel, another tactic is to make them into a vee. If wind shoots between them too much, butt the upwind ends of the vee together to block the wind. The varied width along the vee lets pots and pans of different widths fit on easier too.

  8. Your sleeping pad looks like the Walmart Special. It serves as a good general purpose pad if you either dig a shallow hip hole, or are on a thick debris bed. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

  9. That blue pad makes a nice “easy chair” when you sit on it up against a tree. It’s long enough to have double thickness for a seat, and still have a padded backrest. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying
