        doesn’t really need to be brand specific… We just don’t go for the generic versions of any of these items. Like energizer or duracell, doesn’t matter, but cheap ones included with a remote absolutely not. same for tampons. the generic versions all use cardboard, not plastic, so they’re painful. toilet paper and paper towels, once again, the generic versions are all bad, none of the name brand ones are bad.

        I use ikea rechargeable batteries for my Xbox controller and Panasonic or Samsung 18650 batteries for my flashlights. Most stuff I use rechargeables for, but when you’re camping you often want backups that aren’t rechargeable.
