One of the guys aboard ship fell asleep out on deck during lunch. He got blisters about 2-3 inches across and couldn't work for 6 months. So yeah, sunburn can be bad for you.
He thought he was getting paid and goofing off for 6 months. He was a bit upset when he found out that he was on hospital time, doesn't count towards completion of an enlistment/contract.--

Cured meats contain Saltpeter, or curing sugars, I use Morton's curing sugar when converting hamburger into delicious jerky. it adds a layer of protection in killing deadly microbes before you put it in the pack. A perfect old world preservation. And you only use a tiny amount. Found in most professional jerky and Commercial processed meats for example ie Hot Dogs... Nitrosamines, formed in cured meats containing sodium nitrate and nitrite, have been linked to gastric cancer and oesophageal cancer. Sodium nitrate and nitrite are associated with a higher risk of colorectal cancer.
However know this: For most people, the highest dietary source of nitrates is from fruits and vegetables and no studies have conclusively linked nitrates and nitrites to cancer or any other form of diseases. On the contrary, some research has hinted to beneficial properties of nitrites such as lowering blood pressure by slightly expanding arteries.
The evidence for cancer
In 2011 a report from the Continuous Update Project
was published. It found strong evidence that eating red meat or
processed meat increases the risk of bowel cancer. The analysis of eight
cohort studies showed a 17 per cent increased risk per 100g red meat
per day (RR: 1.17 (1.05-1.31)). The analysis of nine cohort studies
found strong evidence that eating processed meat increases the risk of
bowel cancer by 18 per cent per 50g processed meat per day (RR 1.18
(1.10-1.28)). For both analyses the results of the individual studies
were generally consistent – adding strength to the association. ( A one percent difference)
Take note the study was paid millions to draw this conclusion in 2011 and here we are the news dredged it up again on a slow news cycle in 2015 The study also concluded but not reported by the news "Red meat is also a good source of valuable nutrients, such as protein, iron, zinc and vitamin B12, so it can contribute to a healthy, balanced diet. Processed meat on the other hand has less valuable nutrients and can be high in fat and salt, so if you eat red meat it’s best to choose fresh, unprocessed meat."
So feel free to keep eating steak and avoid the hot dogs.
So wrapping up --- back on track. Hard Boiled Eggs, Home made Jerky, String cheese and dense breads such as bagels and cream cheese, an occasional apple is stove-less. A Dirty Steak on the fire is PRICELESS.

Urine can in fact be used in the manufacture of gunpowder, and it has historically been a very important source of one of the crucial ingredients in gunpowder, saltpeter, also known as niter. This nitrate compound is what allows gunpowder to rapidly oxidize and catch fire, generating an explosion which can be used to fire munitions. -

In the morning, I make oatmeal, wipe the pot with the wrappers, and burn the wrappers. When I finish wiping, the pot looks clean and dry. Ramen flavor packets leave a greasy film on the pot. Eating loaded mashed potatoes and/or drinking a hot beverage out of the pot afterwards reduces the amount of grease left in the pot. Sometimes I wipe the pot with a disinfectant wipe, add an ounce of water, shake, and dump the water. Dear me, I must be killing soil bacteria.

one of the Scouts I worked with when I was in high school decided to put soap on the outside and inside before cooking the food. Of course everyone in that group got sick. He said in his defense he just wanted to make it easy to clean up later. Some of the parents were upset but we pointed out he got sick to.--

When I first started the AT I carried a cup, which was extra weight and took time to clean.The road to glory cannot be followed with much baggage.

Seriously funny!!!! Did you get the soap out of the tube?????
So, those bladder cleaning tabs that Camelbak, Osprey, MSR, OP, etc...make? They work!!! Be sure to burp the cleaning water THROUGH the drinking tube AND mouthpiece a couple of times during the fizz/cleaning process. At the end, I pull the mouthpiece and drain through tube and rinse the bladder 2X. Very very slight chlorine taste for the first bladder full of water....
The funny thing is...the Camelbak is essentially chlorine dioxide(the same as one type purification tablets) and the Osprey is sodium carbonate peroxide that produces hydrogen peroxide when introduced to water. And, they both cost big money for what they are...
I am thinking about trying out some Efferdent....any thoughts? -

How about a bottle of hydrogen peroxide?

I just run bleach water through mine. I do the same with water filters. A table spoon of bleach to a liter of water. When I retired the first time I got a job as the hiking guy at a sporting goods store. That is what the product salesmen advised.bacon can solve most any problem.
