    Someone else may have already mentioned this but, I will confirm that dryer lint is excellent for fire starting with any ignition tool, PROVIDED HOWEVER that the lint you use is NATURAL FIBERS ONLY, or at least MOSTLY. Synthetic materials such as rayon, etc will melt, not burn. So the laundry technique is to dry all of your cotton, linen, wool, etc clothing together in one load. I give this advice from frustrating experience. Hope this helps, or at least gives you pause to consider,

    Reguarding soft shackels I would personally say: look at the wear marks on the neck of the braids and move it around to distribute the tear on the 2/3 length of it. That should prolong the life cycle of the material.

    One presentation included small carabiners to connect zipper areas re child safety. More expensive but very functional, Metolius FS Mini II Carabiner; small, light, full strength (weight bearing). Sold in 6 pack. Cost is approx.$7 each or $40 for a 6 pack. Convenient for rigging, hauling, hanging packs & tied down projects. REI, climbing shops. Wet wipes, watch for general cleaning wipes vs. 'bathroom and personal sanitary wipes'. We might use the first for kitchen and dust & the latter in our packs or bags after bathroom use. Small plastic spray bottles of cleaner or mixed alcohol are also very functional in camp areas. A small hand sweeper is usually close by for dust build up, Lite leather or synthetic gloves for gas installation & ziplock bags to put them in after use. "Simple Bear Necessities"

    Re: mining claim guy, near certain that does not have any private property implications. You are free to move about his claim except for active mining areas or equipment, which is a public safety issue. That guy had no right to demand you not ‘loiter’ in the public land that he has very limited use rights within. If wrong on this, I’d love to see the citation.
