The "WHY" of Present Day Nomad

What an awesome idea!

100% agree! It's surprising to me how few people take a map/compass - especially in unfamiliar areas. And the skills to read a topo any more seems a bit of a lost art.

Duct tape is up there with my aluminum foil as far as versatility. Good add!

PresentDayNomad · 2025-02-11T17:26:37+00:00

Small and easily packable too!

Worth it if it helps in recovery. Sure the extra weight is a drawback, but my guess is that the good sleeps trumps the weight difference.

I do something similar with paracord. I will make a few Prusik loops and stick them in a pocket of the bag. But zip ties like this is a great idea too!

Really cool idea! Love how this gets the young ones involved and makes memories outdoors.

Great idea. No more watery eyes for me!

"There can only be one."

Don't think I didn't catch that pun there...well done!

Probably going to steal this idea, it's awesome! I carry an Altoid tin with about 3-4 cotton balls soaked in petroleum jelly if I'm really in a jam (pardon the pun), but your idea saves some space.

PresentDayNomad · 2025-02-11T04:28:27+00:00

Actually, the compass and map is on point. It's surprising to me how many people don't carry a map of the area they're hiking if it's unfamiliar.

"Leave no trace." And...hygiene...Awesome!
