You can also make this into a makeshift bow saw by bending a piece of green wood into a large C shape and putting it through the handles (girth hitched). Helps with fatigue.

One of my favorite dehydrating wins: banana peppers. Save the juice for marinades. Peppers in your trail mix, awesome.

A friend of mine called our 45 degrees and pouring rain for 8 miles "type 2 fun". Terrible in the moment but fun and great stories after!

Consider the humble penny whistle. Walton's Little Black Whistle cost a mere $5.65 on Amazon and weighs a measly 15 grams.
