Re: cotton balls.
Don’t forget to buy some of those little prepackaged
alcohol wipes, they take up little room and are very good
for cleaning cuts etc. I have found them to
be great fire starters, just tear the package open
and they burn with a hot flame.
Be careful though, an alcohol flame is blue and
hard to see.
I grab a few extra every time we got to Buffalo Wild Wings (thats every other week).
I have a couple of those cleaning packs floating around in all my rucks, packs and fanny packs.
Oh, and about alcohol - one of my fun toys is a home made coke can alcohol stove.
Little sucker can put out some heat but is very unstable/tippy. Good for the ultra light trips.
