Nicole’s Daily Dozen
Welcome to my favorite things! I love sharing information about the tools and resources I use every day, whether it’s during one of the wilderness survival skills classes I teach, an interview or podcast, or conversations on social media. Below are my “daily dozen” that I just can’t do without. I hope you love them as much as I do.

MEDIA MENTIONS
In my side pouches, you can find tent poles (right) and a SmartWater bottle (left). A sawyer squeeze is placed inline from the SmartWater bottle and attached to my Osprey mouthpiece to drink fro, as I walk.
MEDIA MENTIONS
The EWG sees picaridin as a reasonably good alternative to DEET—although it hasn’t been tested as long, it doesn’t have the same neurotoxicity concerns. They recommend a concentration of 20 percent for Lyme protection. Common brands include: OFF!, Cutter, Sawyer, Natrapel, Insect Guard.
MEDIA MENTIONS
Fill them up with tap water and it slowly passes through a filter system. Then the main reservoir below collects the filtered water.
