Packing for a camping trip doesn’t have to be a hassle. The list was checked and checked again, and yet somehow something was left out. Packing ahead of time seems to work, but what if someone needs something in the meantime and doesn’t store it?
I am an avid camper and never ask for tips from others, especially those older than me. Ours started the camp before all the modern weapons, so they learned to handle each in detail. the camp remains.
In a recent internet search, I found myself collecting tips again. Some encourage others to save money, time and therapy
These ideas are perfect for camping decorations; It also works well as a disaster kit.
Number one
If the camp uses toilet bags instead of a tank, you may find the bags a bit pricey- over $13. for six bags containing bio-gel. This substance absorbs the liquid and turns it into a gelatinous substance that can be thrown away.
This tip from Amazon.com, wrote F. Skov. Instead of buying expensive bags filled with bio gel or buying bio gel separately, make your own “doodie” bag.
- In addition to the bag, use the toilet seat cover for a unique bathroom. Make the inner bag using a four-gallon trash bag, buy these at your nearest dollar store, cheap.
- Buy the cheapest synthetic baby diapers you can find and remove the plastic. Throw it in the recycle bin. Place the diaper inside the bag, add baking soda (about 2-4 tablespoons) and push the air out, being careful not to break the pockets (the cheap ones are more fragile) and the treasure on your next trip. When used, twist to tie the inner pouch closed, place in a zip-loc bag and dispose of in a proper trash container.
An inexpensive porta-potty deodorizer is what many campers are opening their eyes to. Types of coffee known for their deodorizing properties are used. After mixing and enjoying your morning drink, pour the wet heads into your potty pool. The only downside is that at the dumpsite, you have to use a hose to flush out the storage tank. The amount of use cases depends on how much the tank trials and errors will tell you.
If you’re an RV park or camping with a toilet, try to do a “serious” business at the public facilities.
In number two
Always pack and wear appropriate clothing. If you are in Yellowstone National Parks or Yosemite, know no snow in July. If it’s all packed tops and shorts, you’ll be colder than ice cream on your chest.
If you are at the Mojave or Death Valley National Parks and it is all packed for you peaks and valleys; You will burn during the day and hard at night.
Packing the right clothes isn’t just a good idea – it’s essential. Lighting light rain, thermal where, light winter coats in vacuum bags or compression bags can continue to space efficiency. If you need them, you have them nearby.
Number Three
If you ever set up a tent only to find the poles broken during storage or transit, don’t put it off.
- Come with spare poles–your tent manufacturer should sell them. But if they do not, let them find another tent. Coleman Company sells warehouse poles in its tents to big box stores like Wal Mart< /a>.
- Take a tarp with you and make an old tent as a fortification. It is not difficult at all. link to learn. You can certainly make smaller tents with tarps.
- If you come to a pickup truck, put a tarp over the bed, press the sides or press them down, put your sleeping bags on the bed and camp there. Same with the SUV.
Who says you have to buy a tent? PVC tent or Yurt and save the package.
Number four
This last tip from “Ken’s Top Ten Camping Videos” is a simple way to set up a stove, sink, table, etc.
- Put a dish or dish with water, milk, etc. on the devices you want to balance. Notice where the water is collected. Place a wooden shim or stone under the leg of the table until the liquid is level with the tray. Move to the next table and camp.
This tip is quick, easy, and free.
Number Five
Earlier in the year, something that made national news sent chills up my spine. People were camping and at outdoor parties throwing what they called “grease-bombs” into the fire and laughing. to the next explosion. A number of people were hurt by this stupidity that the news made.
- Never spill your cooking fat on the ground. It’s time to destroy and attract every bug, opossum, raccoon, bear, etc. in the neighborhood. Take the “nail” — the coffee can enter a metal vacuum and pour the oil into it and when it is cold, put the lid on it. When leaving the campsite, it should be placed in the lockers.
Putting it on a campfire is just stupid. A flame shot above your camp could ignite the wood, and you would be held responsible for the ensuing fire. Not to mention liability if someone is injured.
Number Six
Humor is essential for all camping trips. If I pack for the journey, where to go, what everyone will eat, etc., I get upset; get everyone together to watch something special on UTube.
Check out the pictures on “Redneck Camping Guide” — they’re hysterically funny. They raise their cheeks to the camp, and spend a few nights in the forest, frustrated. As for trying out some “interesting” tips, I’ll leave that up to you.
Number seven
Not only for “newbies” but for camping in new places or new states, you can save this next tip , money and trouble.
“Beware of Itch” advises to use products if exposed to poison ivy.
My advice is simple: learn the poisonous plants of any area you want to camp first. Brochures and brochures are sometimes available from the US Park Services, or go on the internet and do a search. If there is a lot of camping in your city, buy a book and educate yourself/family on plants.
Not only the plants, but also the poisonous insects, mosquitoes, and snakes of the region to be avoided. Learn ahead of time what to do in a bite, sting, or contact.
Add convenient items to your first aid kit so you’re prepared ahead of time.
Number Eight
Learn the rules of private, state or federal campgrounds before you go. If there is no fishing/hunting/campfires, I don’t do it.
I’m ashamed to be kicked out of the campground. If you’re the only campground around, you’ll have a trip to the next one. Don’t try to steal a camp, this is camping on private property against the law. Fugitives can be deported in many states. The owners, especially in Texas, have cattle on their property, the bulls are territorial and have no sense of humor for foreigners.
If you are state-parks”>expelled from a state, the expulsion goes to all parks in that state. The same goes for federal parks Forbidden by one is forbidden by all.
If you are allowed to use the family, be a friend and don’t leave the place. You want to be recalled.
Be wise, know the rules ahead of time, and follow them.
Number Nine
Learn from expert campers. Friends and relatives who camp are often the best, sometimes exasperating, teachers.
If you’ve just set up camp at an RV park for a week and now you’re in the real wilderness, things are very different.
If you’ve just been in a summer camp and now you’re being asked to go to a winter camp. trip, which, experience assures me, is completely different. It’s also fun.
Learn about the area, the conditions, and what is needed.
Books, websites, and DVDs abound, but learning first-hand from an expert friend/relative of yours (maybe pay the way) doesn’t compare. Make sure the instructor you choose follows all safety and campground rules.
Number Ten
If the plain is forbidden, you will not be hungry. Don’t eat cold sandwiches or canned soda every day, either. Here are three ways to cook without fire.
- Take the camp stove with you. Many companies make them, and some “dual-fuel” signifiers work with canned campfire or gasoline. (Believe me, the chamaeaes of the stove are much cheaper food
You can use your electric - stove or stove to plug into your vehicle’s lighter. Build solar power pack and use 12-volt products- electric kettle, oven, pan, etc. Add an inverter and use regular electronics. You will have to add the wattage of the electronics to select the correct inverter.
- Solar ovens are working all over the world. No electricity, no liquid or solid fuel, no smoke. Learn how to build one for yourself by following this link. I use one; they are a ton of fun.
With these ten tips, have camping inspiration anywhere – even in your own backyard. If live in an apartment, fix a tent (or build one out of chairs and seats) that fits inside the living room. room
