Pee Bottles

Product/Skill: Other Outdoor Equipment Interest: Mountaineering
Wrap a few meters of Gaffa tape around your pee bottle.

This gives you a few meters of gaffa tape for running kit repairs, its also a lot easier to identify which is your pee bottle and which is your water bottle in the dark!

Steri Pens in the Cold

Product/Skill: Gadgets/Tools/Lights Interest: Mountaineering
When using a Steri Pen to purify your water in cold conditions, make sure you keep it warm overnight or else when you come to use it in the morning it won't work.

I suggest placing the whole pen in your sleeping bag with you that way you are ready roll first thing. I found that in the himalayas keeping the batteries alone in your sleeping bag was not enough. Also its a lot less hasle by not having to remove the batteries.
