1. Use a Headlamp + Water Jug for Instant Lantern

Strap your headlamp around a translucent jug of water — it diffuses the light into a soft, glowing lantern for the whole campsite.

 

 

2. Dryer Lint = Free Fire Starter

Save lint from your dryer in a plastic bag — it’s lightweight, free, and catches fire instantly.

 

 

3. Frozen Water Bottles as Ice Packs

Keep your cooler cold and have cold drinking water once they melt.

 

 

4. Glow Sticks for Tent Zippers

Makes finding your tent (and the zipper) easy in the dark. Plus, kids love it.

 

 

5. Keep a Shoe Basket Outside Your Tent

Prevents dirt and sand from getting inside, keeping your sleeping bag fresh.

 

 

6. Pre-Crack Eggs at Home

Store them in a leak-proof bottle — no broken eggs in the cooler, and it saves space.

 

 

7. DIY Mosquito Repellent

Toss sage or rosemary into the campfire — bugs hate the smell, and it makes the smoke smell great.

 

 

8. Foam Floor Tiles for Comfort

Line your tent floor with interlocking foam tiles (like kids’ play mats) for extra warmth and softness.

 

 

9. Mark Tent Lines with Pool Noodles

Cut bright-colored pool noodles and slide them over guy lines to prevent tripping at night.

 

 

10. Pack a Mini First Aid “Go Bag”

Keep it in your pocket or daypack so you don’t have to dig through the main gear when you need a bandage fast.
