Been rocking that bellow for 5 years now, now as said many times yes a pad will help you but i cant count how many times iv been the ONLY one with a roaring fire going on even in the rain on camping sites , pin pointing the heart of the fire with constant supply of air can makes the temperature of the coals go so high that even wet wood will catch on fire , and you save your eyebrows so you dont look like a ninja turtle after your backpacking trip . A must have for the backpackers, bushcrafter or the hybrids out there even ultralighters could manage it if they drill a few more holes in their toothbrush that is 😂

I got one of those Firebox chef knifes just before Christmas last year. After being disappointed in how an expensive bushcraft knife cut and chopped food because the blade was too thick, I was very happy with the Firebox knife. It doesn't weigh enough for me to leave it behind, but does a phenomenal job with food prep. The neoprene case allows me to store it inside my cooking kit without worrying about it beating up the stuff inside it.

For the brew setup I would have to say that this would be a waste, just bring your loose leaf tea and dump it straight into the cup and drink it grandpa style. Then there is no waste in terms of buying a strainer system that may or may not last that long. For the teas it doesn't really make sense to me to buy that solution, just buy some nice tea that's suitable for grandpa brewing :)

You could also get a pocket barometer! They might be the most useful “ometer” for predicting incoming weather in your immediate vicinity. Some of them just have numbers but some have thing like rain, change and wind on the dial.

Onx GPS is OK if you have phone signal ,, but you should program or print you trail info prior to departing ... ONX app is also of good use .. ...

I've always carried a metal "straw" when I go camping. It's 3 6" sections of brass tubing you can buy at the hardware store. They come in 12" lengths and diameter comes in 1/32" increments, and the walls of the tube are 1/64" thick, so they perfectly nest inside each other and are completely air tight. So three sections that are 6" long, nested inside each other is a home made version of that telescoping tube you got. This fits perfectly in my fire kit, and using a couple of silicone caps I found somewhere gives me a watertight tube in which I carry a few storm matches. I think the tubes I used were 3/8", 11/32", and 5/16" OD. (Nope, I just measured and the OD of the biggest tube is 5/16")

Hey there and thank you for your comment. We appreciate feedback and try to be as comprehensive as possible when trying to reply to these points from our perspective. The reusability aspect of our coffeebrewers is legit, we do have customers coming back time and time again with stories of how they tried to or actually reused them, as well as how many times they did reuse them. One Danish customer even told us he managed to reuse it 50+ times, which is pretty impressive. Whereas we cannot guarantee people will do it everytime, we do encourage them to do it. And at the end of use, regardless of using or reusing it, the coffeebrewer pouch can be sealed thus avoiding the soggyness of other similar products, stored away, and then disposed of similarly to a milk carton.

Permit application fees range for $100 - $300 depending on media and agency, applications fees do not guarantee your permit nor are they refundable if you are denied. Then there are additional fees from everything from, watchdog agency staff cost to oversee your production to Environmental impact studies. Then you have to have bond and liability insurance.
