Plastic soda or water bottles make great inexpensive water bottles. A 2-liter bottle fits nicely into the side pocket of most backpacks.
Cooking over a fire
If you like to cook over an open fire, there is nothing like a small rubber hose to encourage reluctant wood, or coax a small ember to life. Start with a 3" piece of 3/8" aluminum or copper tubing. Slip an 18" piece of rubber tubing over the metal and you are ready for action. No more bending over with your face next to the fire trying to blow at just the right spot. One caution! Don't breathe in through the hose.







GRAND CANYON BACKPACK
Date: April 22 - 27
Leader: Kurt Sedler
This year's Grand Canyon backpack will take us down Grandview Trail to Horseshoe Mesa and then across the Tonto Trail to Cottonwood Creek, Grapevine Creek, Lonetree Canyon and Cremation Canyon before exiting at the South Kaibab Trail to the South Rim. This hike has some of the most beautiful views in Grand Canyon, and few crowds.
