A lot of us love camping, don’t we? Going for a camp brings out our love for outdoors. But despite all the excitement surrounding it, some people find it difficult to prepare for it. Here’s a list of 16 tried and tested hacks for you to make your camping experience better.

Pack Things into Individual Bags

It becomes easier for you to manage your stuff when things are kept in specified bags instead of shoving everything in to a single bag. It will help you stay organised. Also, keeping things in separate bags will save your time as you’d already know where you have kept certain items.

Create Toothpaste Dots

You can create toothpaste dots about the size of chocolate drops. These can be kept in a non-stick baking paper. The paper ball can either be dissolved in water or can also be chewed if and when you need to clean your teeth.

Try Foam Flooring

Foam flooring can be extremely useful when you have kids accompanying you on camping trips. It is comfortable, cheap, and can be done easily as well as quickly.

Black Bags Can Come in Handy

Black bags not only help you keep the campsite clean; these can also be worn over your shoes (in case you forget your wellies).

Clothes Need to Be Kept Warm

You can keep the set of clothes you’re supposed to wear the next day at the bottom of your sleeping bag. This would help you keep them warm.

A Keyring Loop Would Come in Handy

It would let you open your tent with ease. Furthermore, these would also help you open other compartments while wearing gloves.

Meat Can Be Smoked with Rosemary

Rosemary can be used to smoke meat as it’s an alternative to spice. You can place it on the charcoal directly. Furthermore, the meat can be kept on top of the rosemary in order to give it a natural coating.

Food Can Be prepared Beforehand

Things can be made simpler if you plan to bring food from home. You can pre-scramble eggs and put them in a bottle. A pancake mix can also be prepared in advance. All these tricks can help you fill your stomach while you’re travelling.

The Keys Can Be Attached to a Cork

This can be useful while camping near a water body. The cork can be attached to the keys and you’d never lose them.

Makeshift Pillows Can Turn out to Be Useful

In case you forget a pillow, you can stuff your sleeping bag’s sack with the clothes and use it as a pillow instead of using a soggy hoodie at night.

Shoes Can Be Dried Quickly

The insoles of your shoes can be removed to stuff a newspaper or a dry T-shirt. This technique would help you dry your shoes overnight.

Bring an Ikea Bag

IKEA bags can be used for carrying things, for covering the ground you’re sitting on, or to gather wood as well.

A Frisbee Can Be Quite Useful

A Frisbee can not only be used to play with kids, but can also be used as a makeshift plate.

Headlamps Are Useful as Well

You can place a headlamp facing into a large bottle of water for a DIY, freestanding light.

Happy camping, folks!
