Camping can be an enjoyable but sometimes challenging activity. Here are 13 brilliant camping hacks to make your next trip a little more comfortable.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Sleeping Bag Cover as a Pillow<\/strong><\/p>\n

Instead of having a pillow take up valuable space in your bag, place a couple of fleeces or t-shirts into your sleeping bag<\/a> case to use as a pillow.<\/p>\n

2. Dry Your Shoes With Newspaper<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can imagine how difficult it is to have to go around in shoes that are still damp from the previous day. Remove the insoles from your damp shoes and pack them with newspaper before heading to bed. They will be dry by morning, ready for more exciting excursions.<\/p>\n

3. Make Your Own Bin<\/strong><\/p>\n

Small pop-up washing baskets can make great DIY bins if you put a bag inside.<\/p>\n

4. Warm Your Clothes For The Next Day<\/strong><\/p>\n

Put your clothes at the bottom of your sleeping bag to warm them for the next day.<\/p>\n

5. Sage Repellent<\/strong><\/p>\n

Useful for keeping pesky insects away. Putting sage on your campfire will repel insects and leave behind a pleasant smell. It’s a win-win!<\/p>\n

6. Use a Power Bank<\/strong><\/p>\n

When camping, you may be away from power outlets for long periods of time. A power bank will allow you to charge up your phone and other devices without the need for plug sockets.<\/p>\n

7. Frozen Water<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rather than taking ice packs or ice bags with you on your camping trip, just freeze some water in bottles to put in your cool box. That way, when the ice melts you have a cold and refreshing drink.<\/p>\n

8. Take a Roll of Duct Tape<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>Duct tape has many uses including tent repairs, clothing repairs and as a temporary bandage to protect your feet from blisters.<\/p>\n

9. Waterproof Match Box<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/b>Matches are a camping essential but are useless when wet. Keep matches dry in a waterproof container and stick the strike strip to the lid.<\/p>\n

10. Microfiber Towels<\/strong><\/p>\n

Microfiber towels<\/a> are lightweight and fast drying, making them ideal for camping.<\/p>\n

11. Water Bottle Lantern<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wrap a head torch around a large water bottle, with the light facing inwards, to create a homemade lantern (or you could just buy one of our torches<\/a>)<\/p>\n

12. Use Packing Cubes<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you are camping, it might be annoying to lose stuff. Even though you know you have an extra pair of socks someplace in your backpack, you can’t seem to locate them! Try packing items into our packing cubes<\/a> before placing them in your main luggage.<\/p>\n

13. Create a Makeshift Speaker<\/strong><\/p>\n

Placing your phone in a paper cup will amplify its volume, perfect for listening to music around the campfire.<\/p>\n

Now you know the tips and tricks to make your next trip a little more comfortable, check out our camping equipment<\/a> and start planning your next trip!<\/em><\/p>\n
