I think a lot of people forget how important the advice in this video is.
I always check out rigs when guys post em, pick up and idea here and there as I’m sure we all do.
But I’ve noticed in this minimalist keep it light as possible approach (which is something we all need to learn of course) very often there’s things missing in order to stay light that really shouldn’t be missing.
For example … why am I seeing so many guys rigs with zero way to fend off mosquitoes ? No simple bandaids or iodine pads at all ? Really ?
Embrace the suck doesn’t always mirror reality of the seemingly little things.
Funnily enough John’s video reminded me of watching my sons movie Rango when he’s in the bar being questioned about killing 7 guys with “one bullet”. Wait a minute, that’s only 6, what happened to the 7th ? …. “well, he died of infection”. That cracks me up every time I think about that scene. But in reality it ain’t funny at all.
Thanks for the video reminder John. Good stuff.
Good video.
Been building little kits like them for years, A few things worth mentioning in addition to hygiene
-The end of a roll of toilet paper that you find in port-a-johns and some commercial TP dispensers. There’s no tube and a 2” to 3” thick role takes up little room and provides lot’s of TP
-Quality tweezers and nail clippers. I had an incompetent surgeon hack me up and he did a piss poor job glueing my wound shut and now I’m constantly dealing with ingrown hairs on the scar tissue, now it needs tweezed and cleaned on the regular.
Everyone should consider their personal hygiene needs because everyone is different, just as you reading this may never need to use tweezers but i however rely on them. It’s little comforts like these that’ll make the biggest difference.
