Homemade Backpacking Gear

Lucky for us, backpacking kitchenware seems to lend itself perfectly to the DIY philosophy.  We can make or modify almost anything to help us eat in the backcountry.  Here are some clever ideas that are fun and easy to build.  Sometimes, the best ideas for the backcountry kitchen are not in REI but right in front of us!
