The following certainly are not the only items you can use but they are very convenient. They may not take up as much room as some other heavier items and equipment you frequently load into a car for a run through the wilds!

1. Vaseline also works great as a barrier against harsh winter conditions. Rub some on your face before you go climb a frigid glacier. It can also help heal chapped lips, dry skin and can do all those same things for your dog's paws too; rub some into them before taking them outside in the winter.

2. Bleach: Works great as a water purifier. Just put two drops in your water bottle and shake it up. Bleach won't kill crypto, but be careful of your water sources and that shouldn't be a huge issue. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE UNSCENTED KIND. Plain bleach only.

3. Trash Bags: The bigger and tougher the better. Turn the bag upside down and, on one of the seams just below a corner, cut a hole for your face. Lower down on each side, poke a hole for your arms. Voila, you've got a rain jacket that's virtually free, includes a hood and covers your pack as you wear it too.

4. Soda Bottles: Plastic one and two-liter soda bottles are rugged and light, making them perfect water bottles for the trail. Put some warm water and dish soap inside, tighten the cap and shake them up to get that hydrogenated corn oil taste out first.

5. Styrofoam Cups and Paper Plates/Bowls: Want vessels to eat and drink out of that are a) as light as possible b) insulate hot liquids and c) are easy to dispose of? Well, you can't do any better than these.

6. Duct Tape: Can fix anything. Wrap your water bottle in it to save space.

7. Aluminum Foil: Makes a light, effective, customizable wind barrier/heat focuser for any stove and you can craft it into cookware. My favorite backpacking meal involves ground beef, sliced potatoes, carrots and onions, packed into two layers of aluminum foil and frozen the night before I leave. To cook it, just throw it in your campfire's coals.

8. Freezer Bags: Organize your clothes by days, layers or whatever by packing them into freezer bags and squeezing the air out. Keeps everything dry and organized in your backpack. In a pinch, a freezer bag full of water left out in the sun for a day will kill most bugs that may be in it.

9. WD40: Wipe a thin layer onto your big survival knife before you go to help prevent corrosion and reduce friction as you pound that knife through logs. Use it to clean any metal gear (especially anything with folding parts) when you get home. Don't use it on anything that'll touch food.

10. Chocolate: The best comfort/performance food for the outdoors, bar none.

Intriguing, isn’t it?

Hey, when life throws you super glue and tea candles know you can use them for more than holding a broken teacup together and showing off that pretty flowered holder Aunt Irma bought for you!

Multi-use it great!
