Fisherman Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 An anti itch pen for after the incessant bites. If you're staying for more than 2-3 days in warmer weather, get a small block of dry ice and put it in the bottom of your cooler. It will keep everything very cold and lasts quite a long time.

Headhunter Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 One of the first things we do is to bury our coolers up to the lid. Then cover them with moss to keep any sunlight off of them. You can't bring enough tarps and rope. Tie rocks to the tarp lines and throw the rocks up into nearby trees, wind the ropes around the tree truck to hold the tarps in place. If you have room, a fold out table can be really helpful. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that's how all those tarps get up in the trees, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 I take a 2KW generator, espresso machine and bean grinder with me. 😎 This was a few years ago when I had friends from Alaska up for some lake trout hunting. 75 miles from the nearest town I was pulling shots for mochas. 😁 https://www.facebook.com/dave.orr.35/videos/2601269986565991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Thermarest or any good quality sleeping mat from a store like MEC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug I got mine from Praxair in Barrie, but most of those places that carry compressed gasses like O2 acetylene, etc will have it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrowMan Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Back in the day...some "ganja gardeners" would use dry ice in their grow ops. Dry ice is frozen carbon dioxide, when it "melts" it becomes CO2 gas, which super-charges plant growth. The fact that as it "melts" it becomes a gas and not a liquid makes it great for storing food in a cooler...nothing ever gets soggy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Depending on where you are camping: 1. A folding grill for cooking over an open fire. Those park ones are nasty and you can lay these over the nasty grills or use them on their own. 2. Lots of aluminum foil for cooking things on and in 3. Extra tent pegs and those screw in dog leash holders are great for anchoring a tarp in wind when the trees are not where you need them. 4. You can get those little battery powered LED lights that are cheap and are great for nice subtle lighting under tarps or over your picnic table. https://www.amazon.ca/Lyhope-Battery-Operated-Waterproof-Decoration/dp/B07DL531D9/ref=sr_1_52?crid=2L5RDQKUHEIDC&keywords=battery+led+lights&qid=1654616042&sprefix=battery+led+lights%2Caps%2C167&sr=8-52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayK Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 (edited) Probably not needed where your going, but the best new addition to our backcountry outings is the Platypus Water Filter. No more boiling. Drinkable water in minutes. Edited June 10, 2022 by RayK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
