    Electrical device you are most likely and least likely to eliminate

    Inreach, camera, headlamp, and a weather radio, which has saved my bacon on a couple of trips. I'm not giving any of them up. The phone stays in the car.

    Great Solo trip to the North Maine Woods

    @Ruttrowe if you make it back to the area, paddle into Daggett Pond. I have never seen as many moose (and Great Blue's) in that small section of Ciss Stream.

    Useless gear, equipment and garments

    I don't like Multi-tools Leathermans, Swiss Army... pounds/use I just don't see the need for them in the woods. I have never said 'If I only had a Phillips Screwdriver...' The knives are weak, and I carry one, the saws are useless and again I take one. Yes it may help in a survival situation...

    A while back I found two of the P&P design reflector ovens at my favorite junk shop. At first, I wanted to buy just one, but then I realized they were selling BOTH for $22.

    Food security

    I have a barrel that I keep my food in, that I move to a corner of the site at night, and place cookware on top. On the Allagash, we jam the coolers under the table. All that and we work hard to keep the site clean So far no problems
