Since you could come across everything from wild animals to issues with hygiene and health, there are certain tips and tricks that can make your camping experience much easier. After all, you want to come back with great camping memories!

Tip #1: Burn sage to keep mosquitoes away.

The best way to keep them away is by burning sages in your campsite because it is a natural mosquito repellent.

Tip #2: Learn to distinguish poisonous plants.

One common example of poisonous plants often encountered when camping is the poison ivy. Poison ivy can cause bad itching, irritation, and sometimes even painful rashes.

Tip #3: Use Doritos as tinder for your fire.

A bag of Doritos can really keep your fire going and strong because this snack pack is flammable. I’m not advocating the burning of plastic, but when SHTF, this might come in handy.

Tip #4: If you don’t want to sacrifice your snacks, use cotton pads dipped in wax.

Much like a candle wick, they’re quick to start a fire and keep it going.

Tip #5: Have your paper egg tray as the ultimate fire starter.

hat you do is fill the paper egg tray with the match light charcoal and light the whole thing up!

Tip #6: Use a vegetable peeler for hygienic purposes.

Peel a portion of your soap when you need it. This will prevent you from losing the entire bar but still having enough to yourself.

Tip #7: Hide your money in a soap bar.

It’s one of the most unsuspecting areas to stash a valuable.

Tip #8: Always have aluminum foil handy.

Wrap your meat and other food items and place them over a fire. It will come out nice, soft, and juicy.

Tip #9: Try roasting Starbursts.

Have you ever thought of roasting Starbursts over the campfire? Flavors playing in your mouth is something marshmallows can do, but Starbursts is on a different level.

Tip #10: Roast hotdogs on a… rake.

Just make sure somebody’s holding the rake well and looking into what you are grilling in there.

Tip #11: Have aromatic herbs with you.

Forego bottled marinades because it’s just added baggage. Instead, use aromatic herbs. Have aromatic herbs such as rosemary burned directly into the fire to easily smoke your steaks or other dishes in flavor. Go natural while camping, and have fun while you’re at it too.
