6. Toilet Roll is a Waste of Space

Okay, let's be clear. We are not telling you to ditch the toilet roll. However, that bulky cardboard centre is taking up more room than it's worth. Unwind the toilet roll, remove the cardboard and fold it up gently. Voila, you have now created room for at least two more toilet rolls. Success!

7. Genius Camping Hack - Homemade Lantern

Not everyone can have one of those fancy spangled lanterns. But you can make one using two homemade items that is just as good.

Grab a plastic gallon jug of water (full). Then wrap a head torch around it with the light pointing inwards. The light will reflect off the water and create a giant lantern. Who needs fancy gadgets when you have camping hacks.

8. Get the Party Started

Forgot to bring your speakers with you? In dire need to break out the tunes? Well then, science is your friend. If you are playing music off your phone you can make your own miniature amplifier.

Ghetto blast your phone's speakers by cocooning it in a cylindrical tube, such as a Pringle's box. If you don't have Pringles, you can use a party cup or even a pot. This one requires a little trial and error but can be very effective.

9. Forgot Your Pillow?

Forgot your pillow? We have a quick and easy camping hack that's got you covered. Take your sleeping bag out of its bag. Now you go in the sleeping bag, your clothes go in the supply bag. Hey presto, you have made yourself a pillow.

10. Keep Your Power Cords Dry

Some say it's cheating to bring anything electric with you out into the wild. However, if you do have power cables lying around, make sure you cover the sockets.

Cut two cable-sized holes in a bucket and feed the cable through. The bucket will save you from electrical hazards. Although, be safe, never trust the combination of rain and power cables!
