The most recent episode featured a highfalutin camp sink that costs over $200 on Amazon. My conscience has been beating me up about that. Although it is a very nice sink setup, I personally would never pay hundreds of dollars for such a thing, and I wouldn’t recommend anybody else spend that much, unless you’re just rolling in spare money. (The sink I showed off was sent to me for free, otherwise I wouldn’t have it.)
So I’ve felt like I owe it to the audience to come up with an equally-effective, possibly-simpler solution that offers the same conveniences and luxury for around $20-$30.
You might be happy to know that I ran out to Walmart tonight and collected a few simple things for about $10, and I think I’ll have a really fun video for everybody over the upcoming days that fits the “practical” aspect of The Practical Woodsman a lot better for this sort of gear item.
Plan your day around water, not miles. Fill up at every good source, filter it or treat it if you want the extra insurance, and never pass up clear moving water because you think there'll be more ahead.

Out here, a little light goes a long way. You don't need to push back the whole night, just enough of it to see your next step.

Braving the Ol' Shawnee Appalachy - Pt 2: Ornery Gal
Before you build a shelter, look for the one the hill already made. Rock overhangs have kept people dry for thousands of years. Check the ceiling for loose slabs, stay out of the drip line, and leave it the way you found it.
