It’s me, Scorpion Queen, absolutely the mountain climbing catastrophe! Bear in mind when a saber toothed rat ate my pack one evening on the Appalachian Path? Or when ALL my gear broke on the Tehachapi part on the PCT? Okay, you could not, however sadly I do and people had been some low moments of my mountain climbing profession. The next 5 objects that I’ll be hauling in my tiny little UL pack have but to let me down.
Leukotape
Oh gosh I may sing the thrill and praises of this perpetually. It’s stronger than duct tape. Stickier than a mouth filled with bitter sweet. Works one million occasions higher than Ok-tape. I’ve taped my ft, strapped my toes, repaired leaking water bladders (CNOC cough cough) and principally used it to tape bounce bins. I don’t care what anybody else says, THIS is the one tape you want.
Kula material
I believe everybody with a vagina wants one among these. Finest invention ever. I’ve to maintain stopping myself from ordering a brand new one for the CDT as I don’t reallllllly want a brand new one for each hike do I? Do I…?
Victorinox mini knife
The knife and the mini scissors on this are an absolute recreation changer. I truly discovered my mini Victorinox knife {that a} consumer left behind on a ski season. On the PCT I had carried a mini knife, toe nail scissors AND tweezers. What a heavy weight loser I used to be then! I can use this for every little thing and I like the toothpick. Undoubtedly nice for selecting jerky out my enamel. Don’t put it in boiling water to wash it although. I did and I destroyed mine. I would like a brand new one.
Bandana
I’m fairly certain I sing the praises of a bandana to anybody who will hear. Actually the one factor that may go mistaken with a bandana is that they do have an unlucky behavior of desirous to hike their very own hike and escaping from my pack. I’ve walked backwards miles for a misplaced bandana. Listed here are some glorious makes use of for a bandana: Snot rag, sweat wiper, water filter, picnic blanket, emergency sanitary product, shoe insole, sling, pee rag, style assertion. Okay I can go on perpetually.
The proper bandage for my poor handElectrical toothbrush
The spotlight of my life submit path was when the dentist advised me: ‘You’ve got a really clear mouth; no matter you’re doing; you’re doing proper’. I felt implausible after listening to that! I carried a disposable electrical toothbrush that prices underneath $10 and brushed my enamel morning and evening and truthfully I can’t charge it extremely sufficient. Why would I even contemplate carrying one thing totally different? I swear an electrical toothbrush makes up for the luggage and luggage of pure sugar I devour.
