Also: Mountain Dew + baking soda + peroxide = lantern.
I guess she never made a baking soda/hydrogen peroxide volcano in elementary school? Not in my tent, thanks.

13. Cut up a straw and fill the pieces up with antibiotic ointment or toothpaste for single-use packets.
Or, just bring a tube of toothpaste? Lol. Some of these are more trouble than they're worth. Some good ideas though.

Some cool ideas there for sure!

I was an avid backpacker a few years ago (hurt my knee a bit, so I stick to mountain biking now) but I've learned some cool ideas over the years for lightening way up. You know they make dry toothpaste powder? Handy stuff. And of course you have to cut and drill holes in your toothbrush... :D

Some pretty cool ideas. But others are really not worth it and it dangerous. Especially all the open flame ideas. Zero reason for those these days with LED lights that will run for 80 hours straight.
