Recently I had gone camping with my family. I did not want to bring my glasses with me, as I wanted to continue wearing my contacts. Well when camping, there is not always a shower or running water on hand to get clean.
Toilet for camping or emergencies. If you have need of a toilet when there isn't one around or there is no running water, you can improvise one by using a covered plastic bucket and urinating into the bucket.
We make fire starters. Use the cardboard egg cartons. Using chips or sawdust from making firewood. Use old, leftover candles and wax. Put the wax in a tin can, melt the wax in a coffee can with water. Pour wax over chips which are in the egg part of the carton.
A campfire is for the whole family. All you need are some sticks and a backyard and all of a sudden you have a party everyone wants to attend. Who doesn't remember roasting marshmallows on an open fire?
Do you like to go camping but hate sitting on the cold wet ground? How about making a gift for the teachers at an elementary school? Take some old news papers, an old shower curtain, and yarn/ribbon and make a sit-up-on.
I bought some freezer baskets at a garage sale to use in my upright freezer. I had a couple left over and thought of a great idea for them. I cut the corners off and then I folded the ends up and I use them in my coolers for camping.
I use old shower curtains to put in the back floor of my explorer for my dogs for when we go to camp and they get very wet. To clean, I just take it out and put it a on clothes line and rinse with a hose.
