From Pathfinder Wiki
Here are some examples of gear that you can make yourself:
- Tarp: You can make your own tarp by purchasing nylon or dyneema ripstop material and adding grommets or loops for fastening.
- Alcohol stove: A simple stove can be made from a soft drink can by cutting and shaping it into a small stove for cooking.
- Sleeping pad: Use thick foam cut to the desired size as a lightweight sleeping pad alternative.
- Stuff sacks: Make storage pockets from lightweight materials such as silnylon to organize items in your backpack.
- Sandals: use old hotel sandals or make them from materials such as ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam for comfort around the campsite.
- Used plastic bottles: Use them as drinking water containers or to store dry food ingredients.
- Used ziplock plastic bags: Can be used to store food, maps, or other small items to keep them dry.
