24 Brilliant Camping Tips And Hacks Every Camper Should Know

I like this one.

But not Facebook

In Norway camp fires are prohibited between 15 April and 15 September.

We used to call them Tin Foil Dinners.

I never trust my AT-AT on ice, no matter the thickness. I’m more comfortable with a Tauntaun for that

Camping tip, you will definitely need more than one headlamp.

I have a 3rd degree burn scar on my foot from stepping in a pile of embers that someone covered with sand. It took almost a year, multiple surgeries, and a lot of pain to heal. DO NOT leave embers anywhere. Always put them out with water.

Beware: depending on the kind of food this can work wonderfully (meat, bread, soup, butter, sturdy vegetables such as peas/cauliflower/beans, grated cheese, etc), acceptable (fresh fruit like berries) or terrible (fresh fruit such as apples/oranges, leafy vegetables, hard cheeses such as Gouda/Emmentaler)

Would you be able to use dried-up pine needles for tinder?

and extra carabiners.

This is actually really cool and helpful

Did not know that about catnip. You might keep the mosquitoes away, and end up with 3 cats on your lap lol

You mean waddle

This is why I stay inside—I don’t need knots to check out a library book.

swedish torch looks cool

if I ever saw a possum's footprint I would think there is a baby in the woods or sth

I don’t ever, ever, ever want to be in a “Survival Situation”

why?

Beaufort Wind Scale. Developed in 1805 by Sir Francis Beaufort, U.K. Royal Navy.

Note: If you have female body parts, none of these solutions will work, or you will never be in a situation requiring them, so you can safely disregard.

change title to " Things Every Person Should Have In There Car "

Don't forget the snacks! Not the snacks!

why kitty litter?

How about calling this "things every ONE should have in their car". Not just men.

good to see that the Dukes of Hazard stow such useful items in the General

...and women need ??

Things every PERSON should have in their car.

What should every woman have in her car?

Some of these items have an expiration date or may need to be resupplied. Checking before a long journey should be mandatory. Also, add a red bandana for signals. And duct tape!

Every MAN??? Seriously? Good grief. And no, you don't need to bring windshield wiper fluid, if you're out and it's some sort of dust emergency, just fill with water. Also, roadside flares have been superseded in most emergency kits with reflective triangles which work just as well, don't have a limited use time, and aren't caustic.

But only the men! women can fork off..ugh!

Every man? That's a little sexist don't you think?

Man... Yeah. Reminds me when I explained men how to use jumper cables (mine, btw)

The kitty litter absorbs moisture and keeps the windows from fogging up or freezing on the inside. (To everyone who thinks you should use it for traction.)

I would also add a raincoat, umbrella, condoms and a gun in case of close encounters of the third kind. No way am I going to let aliens abduct me and give my behind any probe inspections.

Good thing I'm a lady so I don't need any of that stuff!

Or make you need the loo constantly throughout the night.

under Brown Recluse, "Only 10% of bites result in anything more than a small red mark" should be the first point, not the last.

Adding flour really isn't a good idea.

Just say NO to introducing unnecessary elements into your camping environment!
