1.
Wrap your meat in cabbage. This will help stop the meat from burning when cooking it! -
2.
If you plan on bringing matches, glue sandpaper to the the top of your match holder. This way, you can strike a fire wherever you are. -
3.
Create a mini first-aid kit. Just put all the first-aid supplies you need into an old prescription bottle you no longer use or an Altoids tin. -
4.
Put foam floor tiles on the floor of your tent. This will make it way more comfortable and super soft. -
5.
Freeze gallon jugs of water. Put them into your cooler to keep your food cold and to have nice cold water to drink later. -
6.
Create travel sized coffee bags. Just put one scoop of coffee grounds into a coffee filter and then tie it up with dental floss. -
7.
Make portable fire starters. Simply dip cotton pads into wax and you're ready to go! -
8.
Create your very own portable washing machine. It's not as fancy as it sounds, your machine will be made out of a bucket and plunger. But it gets the job done. -
9.
Organize and store different spices into different Tic-Tac boxes. This is great for people who plan on legit cooking while they're out in the woods. -
10.
Crack all your eggs and put them in an empty water bottle! One water bottle can hold up to eight eggs. -
11.
Campfire foods are more than just s'mores. Make crescent rolls! You can even stuff them with marshmallows or nutella. -
12.
Make single-use soap leaves. Use a vegetable peeler to peel slices of a bar of soap. You can also rub the soap on mosquito bites to relieve the itchiness. -
13.
Aside from the mosquito repellent you can buy from the store, you can also use sage to repel mosquitos. Just place some of the sage in the campfire. -
14.
Make popcorn on the campfire! Just bring popcorn that can normally be placed on the stove at home. -
15.
Put your toilet paper into a coffee can. This will help not only hold your TP, but also protect it. -
16.
Move over s'mores, we're upgrading to s'moreos. Why use graham crackers, when you can use oreos? -
17.
You can also use the campfire to cook bacon and eggs! Just put it all in a paper brown bag and hover it over the fire. -
18.
Create toothpaste single-use packets. Just cut up straws and fill them up with the toothpaste. Use a lighter to seal up the ends once you're done. -
19.
Create a place to hang up pots and pans. Just wrap a belt around a tree and attach hooks to it. -
20.
Create a hand-washing station. Just fill up an empty laundry detergent dispenser with water. -
21.
If you ever get lost, use an acorn cap as a whistle. Getting lost from your group can be very easy, so it's nice to know you can use your surroundings to help you. -
22.
Create you very own shower. Literally all you need in a watering can and a humungous jug. -
23.
Create your very own DIY lantern. Just paint the inside of a jar with non-toxic-glow-in-the-dark paint. -
24.
Put up foam noodles to stop injuries. For particular people, accidents are inevitable but remove the possibility of someone hitting their head on the awning strut by putting a foam noodle on it. -
25.
Secure your tent with a stick. Put it in the main center line to ensure pressure is even throughout.
