Not totally sure this qualifies as a “hobby” in the way I’m conceiving of the word, and I don’t really know what I should put here, but camping is definitely one of my discoveries that you would know about if we were friends, so I’m putting a placeholder here.
These are also some of the objects that I put in this category:
⛺️ Buying a tent?
Regardless of your favorite color, or plans to blend into your surroundings, I highly recommend getting a fly that’s yellow/orange—the golden light in the tent in the morning is such a delight! 🌅
It’s wierd that I don’t yet have a page for headlamps—great for Camping, great for Burning Man (which is really just an extreme form of camping), great for Property Management & Maintenance, and I also keep one in my Advice: Car bin for longer trips)
I’m pretty excited about all the small containers here. (Some of which are available at the Container Store or REI.)
I generally encourage people to get travel sized containers of their actual branded products and just refill them (even toothpaste is easy to transfer by squishing the openings together), but often they’re still just too big, or unavailable (e.g. for topical prescriptions), so these + a modern label maker might be the way to go. (I personally use painter’s tape and a fine tipped sharpie and I generally use symbols when I can, instead of words, e.g. ☀️ for sunscreen and 👁️ for eye cream, etc.)
Muji also has some nice solid options that I feel fine cramming into a bag (e.g. pill organizers), but they’re not as lightweight.
