Dienes posted:So bananas emit methane when they rot in a landfill, but don't emit methane if they rot in a compost heap or on a platform for birds to peck at. No you don't understand, landfills are worse because modern landfills either torch off the methane, turning it into water and CO2, or even worse, get collected, piped, and used to make electricity. HORRIBLE! Much better to let it off gas at home, naturally, because of nature. The shoe polishing thing is especially bad. Yeah, help rot your shoes more quickly, but trust me they'll look shiny for like half a day. Speaking of shoe polishing, there are a bunch or horrendous hacks for that. Unfortunately I'm phone posting so I can't find any.

Save five dollars by not buying ice! I do that because frozen water bottles last several days. Save no dollars by using a different type of store-bought light! Save no dollars by using a different type of store-bought sleeping pad! Save...what? What the hell is a camp kitchen? Save five dollars by filling egg cartons with dryer lint and wax instead of purpose-made ethanol paste! I do this because they make excellent fire starters that last 20+ minutes. Save...what? Who the hell carries around a special container for their rear end paper?

Iron Crowned posted:I'm the "Fire Paste" Fire paste is a thing: https://www.rei.com/product/626906/coghlans-fire-paste But it's like the most goofy form of fire starter. It's moderately better than lighter fluid since you can't spill it, but...jesus people just learn how to use tinder properly. Water jug + headlamp sucks. Shoe organizer =

LogisticEarth posted:Fire paste is a thing: Is the shoe organizer for....like.....spatulas and wooden spoons and knives and forks and poo poo? Because that's the only thing I can see it being useful for. I've given serious thought to getting one of those collapsible camp kitchen things because it would be super helpful in terms of washing the dishes etc but we just use a folding plastic table. I keep worrying that the Coleman stove will melt said table it it hasn't happened yet!

Shoe organiser and camp kitchen do totally different things. Expensive sleeping mats however are a billion times better than lovely airbeds.

Sleeping mats are good for soft, level ground, but if you're on uneven ground with roots or rocks everywhere, they suck balls. Still, they are much lighter and take up much less room than most airmattresses and that's pretty much the deciding quality when it comes to picking what gear I take when I go camping.

Honestly at this point I doubt you could find an original unaltered copy of the cookbook since people have been making their own changes since shortly after it started distributing over the internet. That said, if you wanted to live off the grid, you're going to have to eat squirrel.

I've had a can of chicory coffee sitting in my cupboard for like three years, ever since my neighbors went to New Orleans and gave it to me as a thank you for watching their cats while they were gone. I tried it once and didn't particularly like it, but I feel bad throwing it away.

Also, cheap air mattresses are incredibly lovely because just about anything (including not getting on slowly and carefully) will cause them to leak air. We got a cheap one once when a hotel room lacked an extra bed and it would leak almost completely empty by morning without fail.

I kid, chicory coffee is pretty awesome for being originally for a poor-as-dirt situation. But beignet mix is the most expensive box of flour and baking soda someone could ever buy though.

I'd never had beignets before that, and probably never would have if they hadn't given me the mix. poo poo was tasty.
