Camping Ideas

What To Bring on a Camping Trip

1. Truck Tent

Get a truck tent for impromptu camping trips or if you’re just really want to feel more comfortable!

2. DIY camping light

Use a solar light and stick it in an upside-down terra cotta pot. Brilliant! (source unknown).

3. Camping Bathtub for Kids

Bring an extra-large camping tub, fill it with water, and use it as a bathtub for little kids. Great idea! (source unknown)

4. Canopy Cover for Camping

Smart! A tent under a canopy. Additional space is used for living space.

5. Camping Toilet

DIY camping toilet – ha! Kind of smart though. A large bucket and a pool noodle… Saving this idea!

6. Shower Cap Shoe Covers

Buy cheap shower caps to put dirty camping shoes inside of when packing up. This way it keeps the rest of the things in your travel bag relatively clean.

7. Camping Toothpaste

Camping toothpaste – make toothpaste dots, let them dry, sprinkle them with baking soda then pop them into a bag. When camping, put one in your mouth and chew–add water and brush. (via ruggedthug)

I know that there are many safety issues surrounding this idea, but I couldn’t resist sharing. As long as it is very secure…. (source unknown)
