Cut some more weight on No Cook Gear List

I could fit everything into a smaller fanny pack than the MountainSmith Daylight since I didn't have a stove, cook pot and fuel.

  1. Very good blog. I love to try it. I have a black wolf camping tents that I bought it awhile ago. I also have a pop-up tent that is easy to assemble. But your a camping addict.

  2. I am addicted but still learning so much. How often do you get out? I started with car camping in campgrounds with toilets, running water and dumpsters for trash. Just get out there and enjoy God's creation.
