and More Homemade Camping Equipment

22. If your hand warmer came without a bag or the bag has been lost, replace the bag with a sock.

23. A length of chain and a piece of coat hanger bent into an S-shape will allow you to hang your lantern from a tree limb.

24. Use a cookie tin as a dutch oven.

25. Keep batteries in an appropriate size prescription bottle to insure that they cannot run themselves down by accident.

26. Prescription bottles make good match safes.

27. Prescription bottles or 35mm file containers make good storage places for small items.

28. Grills from old ovens can be used for fire grills, refrigerator shelves cannot be used as they will release toxic gasses when heated.

29. A frisbee will add support to paper plates when the plate is place inside the frisbee.

30. Make a camp washing machine from a five gallon bucket and a toilet plunger.

31. Placing a plastic garbage bag over logs in a triangle will create a wash basin.

32. Making a slit in a trash bag large enough to let your head through will make an emergency poncho.

33. Laundry lint makes good tinder

 

 

34. Cutting slivers off scrap lumber and heating in the oven to dry out the wood will produce some very dry tinder. Remember to store in plastic bags for your next trip. Save candle stubs for fire starters or to use as paraffin to make other fire starters.

35. Insulate your backpacking stove from the ground in cold weather with a 6" X 6" piece of plywood.

36. Cover the ice in a picnic cooler with foil to help it last longer. Keep the water in your canteen cooler by wrapping the canteen in foil.

37. Use foil ring dividers for frying eggs. Put rings in the greased pan and drop eggs into each ring.

38. Find it hard to put patches on straight ? Tape them in place first with two-sided tape. When you are half-way done sewing, remove the tape.

39. Save a handbook that's getting battered looking by putting on a transparent contact paper cover.

40. Run candle stubs along the edge of a saw to help it glide better.

41. When it comes time to pack up at the end of a camp, a wet toothbrush, face cloth and bar of soap wrapped in foil won't dampen the other things in your kit.

42. To prevent night accidents in camp, use phosphorescent paint to mark the edges of latrines, the top of corner pegs of tents, etc.

43. Before starting to sew a tough material like denim or canvas, stick the needle into a bar of soap. The coating will help the needle slide more easily through the fabric.

44. To make sure you don't sew a pocket together while sewing a badge to the front, slip a jar lid, preferably plastic, into the pocket, then fearlessly sew away.
