Use Microfiber Towels

Paper towels are nice around the kitchen but not very practical when camping. You constantly have to be replacing them. Instead, use microfiber towels. Not only are they more absorbent than paper towels but there also reusable. It would only take a few minutes on a rock or branch to dry them out after each use.

Bring a Tarp Or Two

Hopefully, you picked a time for your camping vacation when it won’t be raining but there’s no guarantee that a storm won’t roll in. Having a tarp handy will go a long way towards keeping all your stuff dry. Tarps are easy to string up either with rope or clips. They can also act as an awning for your campsite or cook area.

Freeze Gallon Jugs Of Water

The night before your go camping, freeze a couple of gallon jugs of water. These make perfect ice blocks for your cooler. When the ice melts, you’ve got water to drink.

Utilize chips as fire starter

Believe it or not, Doritos, Fritos and Cheetos make excellent fire starters. They are full of hydrocarbons that are soaked in fat and catch fire easily. Much better than birch bark. Best recommendation: one bag for snacking and one bag for the fire.

Use a Head Lamp and Jug of Water for a Light

A headlamp is a great gadget to bring along on your camping trip. It provides plenty of illumination while freeing up your hands. In between your night trips outdoors, you can wrap your headlamp around a jug of water and create a lantern that can light up a very large area.

Bring Coffee Cans

Plastic coffee cans with lids make great storage for perishable food items. Just make sure you rinse them out well before use so everything doesn’t taste like coffee. A metal coffee can is a great device for baking bread on a campfire. Just put your dough inside the can, place on the fire and watch it bake.

Check Your Gear

A camping trip can quickly be ruined if your gear isn’t up to the task. Inspect all your tents, tarps, blankets, sleeping bags and other camping gear at least a week before you’re ready to leave. That way you have plenty of time to replace anything that needs replacing. As for the old camping gear, you can turn that over to Junk King Monterey. These are the junk removal professionals that can quickly remove all that unwanted clutter from your garage or basement. You’ll feel a lot better about coming home from your vacation without any junk in your house.
