Is that Mountain Dew trick for real?

I am pretty sure it was proven not to work. I think Snopes has an article on it.

I tried it once...following the amounts of stuff exactly...

large bottle of hand sanitizer, for fire starting and hand sanitizing.

Coleman white gas fire starting for easy hair removal.

Girl Scout juice.

A capful of Chlorine bleach in your first rinse pot will keep parasites and food contamination away. Rinse well or you'll get the squirts. Adult supervision required.

Funny, I just got through packing for a camping trip tomorrow.

1. Like I need more stuff to pack.
2. Have to try it this weekend.
4. Tortillas are easier.
5. Yeah right, who cares about plants..........um, does anyone know how to get poison oak off the hootus?
6. TICK CHECK! They can be fun with the miss'.
7. Plastic spice canister with the side of a match box stuffed in with the matches.
8. A plastic bag is easier and takes up less room.
9. Interesting.
10. Too small and I don't eat Tic Tacs.
11. Share the warmth.
12. Hammocks over Sky Chairs.
13. What a PITA.
14. French press.
16. Yeah, if you live somewhere there is no wind. A couple of peach cans with an inch of gas/kerosine will make good tikis.
17. Another PITA.
18. See #13.
19. Interesting but the my pants will fall down.
20. SMORES!
21. Too small for me.
22. Pancakes in a bag is less to clean up.
23. #13.
24. $2.00 in quarters and a laundromat.
25. Skip the charcoal brick.
26. Finally, a use for Doritos.
27. Looks like a mess/fire starter (not the good kind) waiting to happen.
28. Mmmm, sage and rosemary.
29. If you like cheese that tastes like wax.
30. #16.
31. Eeeewww.
32. Interesting but I like campfire pasta.
33. Mmmm, cook eggs in orange peels too.
34. Or stay on the trail.
35. No kids but I'd make sure they were worn out by the end of the day.
36. A cathole trow and roll of TP take up less space.
37. Works.
38. Old bath towels.
39. Switch out water with juice/margarita mix/milk...
40. Roll cardboard into a tuna can and pour in wax. Also makes a good smudge pot.
