[QUOTE="mcseal2, post: 524237, member: 22030"] You are right, I've got that sight bookmarked also, great ideas. I'm glad the thread helped. It REALLY helped me which is obvious if you look at the beginning list from the first page compared to now. I do take things in and out of the pack for some occasions. I find if I check the list when I add or remove an item for a trip, I at least think about it's importance and don't just plain forget it. Another thing I have thought about is Wetfire cubes. The vaseline coated cotton balls are cheap and when pulled apart the fibers light VERY easy with a firesteel though. I can also keep them dry until I get them lit so that isn't an issue. I've also been experimenting with a lightweight alcohol stove and carrying that instead of the esbit, but I feel safer with the esbit as alcohol can be almost colorless when burning. The alcohol stove also creates a vacuum on my cup at times and I'm afraid of spilling it in leaves or pine needles when moving the cup. I also didn't add that I carry a leatherman wave multitool everywhere except church (then it's in the truck) and it can be handy for hot containers, equipment repair, or a few million other things.
