1) Finish food. Use your utensil to get as much of the extra food bits out as possible. 2) Pour an ounce or so of water into the pot. 3) Swirl this water around with your finger to remove re...

Re: Tarp worries
I used the same setup as Sean on the PCT: Cuben Grace Solo Tarp + Superlight Bivy. The tarp is small enough that, in a hard rain, it's hard to avoid some splashing on your bag. So, if you'...

Canid
Looking at the second picture again, the tracks look more elongated than in the single picture above. And I can sort of see claw marks. I'd vote canid now, too, but tracking is an art, not a ...
