Some Camping Tips from The Cabin

It’s good to pick up camping tips from a number of sources. Here are some from TheCabin.net:

• Arrive early if you’re going to camp in an unfamiliar area
• Do whatever you can to prepare for the camping trip at home
• Use two door mats – one inside and one outside the tent or camper
• Take several trash bags
• Pre-mix and pre-measure foods and recipe ingredients at home
• Large zip-closing bags can be useful at camp for mixing ingredients and making pancakes
• Main courses and whole meals can be prepared at home and frozen for quick heat-and-eat meals
• Take two coolers
• Take two stoves – a single-burner stove in addition to a double-burner camp stove
• Use a large plastic bag as a liner for your pack
• Make your own solar camping shower
• Lantern mantles are much easier to tie onto the burner tube when tied onto a thumb or index finger first
• Spread your wet clothes or sleeping bags over a large rock in the sun to dry them quickly
• Make sure all your camping gear are dry before storing them
• Set up your camp in the backyard as soon as you get home from a camping trip
