Make Your Own Backcountry Cutting Board – Tip from Backpacker.com

I was just over at Backpacker.com taking a look around and found this great reader tip about how you can make your own backcountry cutting board.

Michael Irvine from Santa Rosa, CA shares the tip:

To make a backpack-friendly cutting board, I trimmed plastic cutting boards from Target into small circles that fit snugly inside my cook pots. These lightweight discs keep my knives from dulling–and provide a hygienic place to store ingredients while I cook. Fame release

One of the follow up comments from a visitor to the site even suggested cutting a notch or putting a hole in the board towards the edge to help with getting the board out of the bottom of the pot if it gets stuck or suctioned in from washing it. Great tips!

Make Your Own First Aid Kit

When traveling or being outdoors, it is important to carry a first aid kit with you no matter what type of activity you are doing (camping, backpacking, rock climbing, kayaking, biking, anything). Many first aid kits will just be a few simple items that are good for any activity. However, it is important to have an in depth kit that will allow you to face most emergencies and challenges that you come across.

The only way to be fully prepared for the trip that you are taking would be to buy a sport specific first aid kit or to create your own. The American Red Cross has a good list of general supplies that should be in any first aid kit, including:

  • 2 packets of aspirin (81 mg each)
  • 1 blanket (space blanket)
  • 1 breathing barrier (with one-way valve)
  • 1 instant cold compress
  • 2 pair of non-latex gloves (size: large)
  • 2 hydrocortisone ointment packets (approximately 1 gram each)
  • Scissors
  • 1 roller bandage (3 inches wide)
  • 1 roller bandage (4 inches wide)
  • 5 sterile gauze pads (3 x 3 inches)
  • 5 sterile gauze pads (4 x 4 inches)
  • Oral thermometer (non-mercury/non-glass)
  • 2 triangular bandages
  • Tweezers
  • First aid instruction booklet

You see the full list on their website.

However, if you are looking to create your own, there is a great website that sells the different items you would want to include and you are able to pick and choose rather than buying just a standardized kit. The Emergency Essentials House of Usher hd website allows you to select only the items that you want in your kit and purchase. You can see this great order page here
