What was most helpful.

I should've done the picture thing when I was camping. This is what I found most help full. I had these but I used my small Bic lighter exclusively because it was always in my pocket and easily accessible. The matches good to have incase your lighter gets wet.

The Gerber multi-tool turned out to be an excellent choice of purchace. It wasn't heavy or cumbersome. I used the pliers and scissors mostly

My chair with the side tray was great also, and well worth the bulk. It doesn't weigh much and is very comfortable.

The instant light torch head was great for starting camp fires. As long as you have a propane bottle, you can get a fire started with limited tinder.

Battery operated air pumps? I won't waste my money on them. I like the old dependable manual pump. Great exercise to.

 

A further note on the multitool. I used it to stitch up a pair of shoes while I was at home

 

Looks like from those stitches we maybe needing to call you Doc from now on! I wasn't going to say anything about this but since you brought it up. I use a scissor even more often than I use a knife. I really enjoy the Leatherman Raptor. I wish I had a scissor like this when I was a Paramedic. It's part of my EDC. I never leave home without it! Ha ha. I'll be catching flak for this statement!
