Camp notes
Field write-ups from the bench: how to pick a frame, seal a liner, set a tent, and keep the whole kit clean between trips.
Folding frame or bucket, and how to tell
A camp toilet needs to pack flat, sit level on uneven ground, and seal tight. We build both styles for different trips.
What the powder in a gelling liner does
A solid rim and a dry powder liner keep camp cleanup manageable. Here is how the powder acts on liquid and how to pack out the waste.
How to use a camp funnel standing up
Practical steps for seating a silicone funnel, testing it at home in the shower, and packing it into a pocket on the trail.
Pitching a privacy tent, and folding it back
Pitch our pop up privacy tent on level ground, stake the base corners against the wind, and fold the spring frame flat for the carry bag.
Turning a plain bucket into a camp toilet
A plain utility bucket turns into a solid camp toilet with the right rim fit, a tight lid, and lined bags that pack out clean.
What goes in a first camp bathroom kit
