Camping Hacks Part3

11. Consult Your Checklist

This one isn't so much a camping hack as it is a reliable habit. Make sure you have all the necessary camping gear and equipment. Consult your own personal checklist before leaving home.

12. Microfiber For All

Instead of bringing kitchen paper or tea towels, bring something that is practically made for the wild - microfiber. It's super absorbent and lightweight. It dries better than tea towels and won't perish easily like kitchen towels. You're welcome!

13. Your Trusty Nighttime Kit

Never leave yourself short at bedtime. Pack a nighttime zip lock kit that stays in your sleeping bag full time. We're talking hand torch, comfy socks, earplugs and a tiny bit of toilet paper for emergencies. Consider it part of your sleeping bag.

14. Where Are My Sleeping Socks?

We stumbled upon this craze embarrassingly late in our camping careers. When packing, pack however many socks you will need for the camping trip.

Then, add one extra special pair for nighttime sleeping bag use only. They remain at the bottom of your sleeping bag for the entire trip. Warm, soft and dry, you won't even know yourself at the end of the day.

If you were born with really cold feet, you can go a step further. Before bedtime, heat some water over the campfire (don’t overdo it), and pour it into a plastic bottle. Put it in the bottom of your sleeping bag to get some extra warmth.

15. Beat The Morning Chills

Okay, we'll admit it, on some frosty mornings we secretly wish it were possible to pack a tumble dryer and give our clothes a warm blast. However, there is a camping hack that is just as good.

Stuff the clothes you want to wear into the bottom of your sleeping bag. Come morning time they've had eight hours of unadulterated heat. You're now ready to win the day!
