  <b>REVISION TO #2 - HEADLAMP BATTERY HACK</b><br>Many comments indicate this is not an ideal hack and may still drain the battery. <br>This should be corrected by putting a small piece of tape or plastic between the terminals so they don&apos;t touch.<br><br>(Very sorry - I wish I could correct it on screen. In the headlamps I&apos;ve used, the terminals don&apos;t touch when you flip the battery around, but this isn&apos;t the case for all, as the comments have told me)

  The final hack can be improvised by using ash from your fire. It&apos;s safer than using dirt because they might leave bacteria in utensils. In India, the charcoal and ash have been used for cleaning utensils and still some villages are used to date. Safer since it is anti bacterial. The US army used ash in water to &nbsp;treat diarrhea during ww2

  A quick tip with the drip line, tie a rock to the end of the drip line. This will pull down the edge, and pull the water towards the drip line.

  If you&apos;re worried about any sort of Critters left on your pan after you wash them in a lake and you got the grease out just simply bring it back to the fire and gently heat them.<br>( you can overheat empty) pans and pots so be careful. But you can get it hot enough or warm enough, to dry the pan, or kill anything on it without warping the metal if you&apos;re careful.

  When washing in live water, I dig a small pit off to the side to pour the water that has the grease. Then scrub again and if the grease gone, rinse in live water. But don’t pour grease into live water! And no soap also. The pit works for it also. Then cover up your hole. I recently saw a great way of disposing of wash water. &nbsp;Dig a pit, with a small channel off to the side, fill it with small rocks, build you fire over it, when the fire is burning, pour the wash water in the pit and the bottom heat will burn it off. I saw it on Northern Wild Harvest

  I have watched probably thousands of videos on camping and survival. Splitting the wood with the saw was a new trick. Very cool

  Ash from your campfire will work as well to clean greasy pots and pans.Use it every day when I clean our pots because we use woods to cook our rice and the pot turns so dark but if you rub that ash all over it it will make it shine..use it in the Philippines every day growing up.I was in charge of washing dishes and cleaning our pots and pans every day until I came to America.love outdoor.thanks for sharing your knowledge
