Use Wet Wipes Instead Of Toilet Paper When Camping
We go camping in our travel trailer almost every weekend during the summer at a place where it is parked in a remote area with no water hook-ups.
Making a Portable Pop-up Privacy Curtain
I am planning a road trip out in the desert with a group that will include men and women. There is very little tree or shrub cover and the trip will be several days long with very little "civilization" for many hours at a time.
This is a guide about organizing camping supplies. When you go camping, you need to bring all sorts of supplies that you take for granted when you are at home; like equipment for cooking and cleaning, first aid, sleeping and more.
Bring lots of eye wash when going camping! If you get something in your eyes, there really isn't anyway to rinse out the debris in the middle of nowhere.
To save money and the environment, I purchased "picnic" plates from the Dollar Tree. They are made of thin plastic, making them easy/light to pack.
Pack Away Camping Supplies Together
I place all the little things for camping in marked totes and keep them packed so that I am not trying to hunt everything down when needed. This also keeps me from paying for things again when they can not be located.
1998 Coleman Niagra Pop-up Camper
We just bought a 1998 Coleman Niagra pop up camper. The dinette table is missing. No big deal, but i think it was used to make the extra bed. Does anyone have pics of their camper with the extra bed in use so that I could get an idea of what I might use to make the bed workable.
Bring Baking Soda on Camping Trips
Take a box of baking soda with you on a canoe trip/camping. You can use it to clean your hair, as under arm deodorant, to brush your teeth, rinse your mouth or as a soap in the shower. You can also sprinkle it in your shoes at night or in your damp suitcase.
Bringing Electronic Devices When Camping
If you are bringing electronic devices or flashlights, remove the batteries before packing and store them in a ziplock bag. That way if something accidentally gets flipped on, you won't run down your batteries.
We found a pattern for a picnic table constructed from 1 piece of 3/4 inch plywood. It will seat 4-6 people and is small enough to fit in the back of a SUV. It is constructed with removable screws and is disassembled for storage.
It is important to always be prepared for the unexpected. With camping that could mean anything from bad weather to a severe accident. That is why it is important to always be prepared. Take along a first aid kit and be prepared to use it should anything happen.
Make a camp washing machine with a five gallon bucket and a toilet plunger. The plunger does a good job of agitating the water.
A frisbee will add support to paper plates when the plate is place inside the frisbee.
Grills from old ovens or barbecues can be used for fire grills. Don't use refrigerator shelves as they will release toxic gasses when heated.
Here are a couple of ways to create your own waterproof stick matches for camping trips. Melt a small amount of paraffin wax in a double boiler and dip your the match head in the melted wax, then let dry. Or, coat the match head with clear nail polish.
