Other Miscellaneous Micro Projects


A white Tyvek groundsheet laid out on grass.
Tyvek Groundsheet

One of the cheapest and easiest ways to make an ultralight groundsheet. It doesn’t fray, so you can simply cut it to your desired shape and size.

A homemade alcohol stove made from a cat food tin
DIY Alcohol Stove

The classic 'Super Cat' stove. Create an ultralight stove from a simple cat food tin. It burns hot, blooms fast, and is a fun and iconic MYOG project.

A colorful, thin cellulose sponge cloth.
Ultralight Towel

Those colourful cellulose sponge sheets from the cleaning aisle make surprisingly good, incredibly absorbent ultralight towels. Just wash them thoroughly first!

A person's feet in socks, with plastic bread bags pulled over them as waterproof liners.
Waterproof Shoe Liners

A ultralight hack: bread bags. Keep your dry camp socks cozy when you need to pop out of the tent. It looks silly, but it works perfectly.

A webbing strap cleverly looped through a triglide buckle to create a no-sew attachment point.
No-Sew Cinch Straps

Make strong, adjustable straps without a sewing machine using just webbing and a triglide buckle. Perfect for on-the-fly gear modifications and repairs.
