With better weather coming on I am interested to hear what kinds of hacks and such folk who spend time in the great outdoors have learned, made, or adopted to deal with some of the inconveniences and aggravations of spending a lot of time outside and many times away from modern living. Im sure ya'll got some cool ones!!
One of mine that I use personally on myself and the kids is for itchy bites, rashes, and especially poison ivy. Shrinking Drywall spackle, or tile grout powder. I will pack it, it is cheap and likely already hanging around most homes.
If you do not have either and your out in the woods Jewel Weed, a native plant will do a decent job at relieving skin aggravations. It is generally found in wetter low lying areas, creeks etc... Jewel Weed has the look of a succulent and a orange flower.
Treat it as you would an Aloe plant. Break it open and apply generously.
