Remember those candles you’ve brought to use as fire starters? Apply a bit of candle wax to your tent zippers. Rest assured they will glide smoothly. 31. DIY Water Purifier

Grab some ice, a battery-powered fan, and the largest styrofoam cooler you can find. Cut a hole near the handle of the cooler, on a short side of the lid. It should be an inch smaller than the fan. This can also help keep bad smells out of your freshwater tank and help prevent lime scale build-up in your water heater and the rest of your freshwater system. You don’t need to buy a brand new first-aid kit for camping. Besides, it probably won’t have everything you need, and there may not be enough room for other stuff.Repeat this until the water becomes clear enough. It’s a slow process, but it can save your life. For the best results, you should combine the two methods. 32. Sharpener for Fishing Gear

If you own a drivable RV it's important to know that all 50 states in the US require a minimum of liability insurance on your unit. Because you’ll be taking your home with you, you can talk with your local insurance agent about the best policies for your budget, lifestyle, financial situation. What’s important is that you never plug your unit into shore power without a working surge protector. The cost of a surge protector is much less than replacing your air conditioners, TV’s, microwave or worse, not to mention the down time from such an accident.The problem with double-wall vacuum-sealed camping mugs is that sometimes they do their job a little too well, keeping coffee at a blistering temperature well after I would have expected it to cool off. So while I didn’t think much of the centimeter-tall rim of the OtterBox Elevation’s lid while running the insulation, weight, and leak tests, it’s what stood out to me most during the field test of the best camping mugs, when taking a tentative first taste to see if my coffee was cool enough to drink yet. The longer rim made it easy to take a slower sip, so that the outside air was cooling the hot coffee before it hit my mouth.

Keep in mind that not all plans will cover you in all states, but most will offer out-of-network exceptions. It’s a good idea to know the costs of these options. Cover the tops of toiletry bottles with cling film before putting on the lid to stop leaking in transitMaterials: Stainless steel with internal copper lining; lid is made from polyester, silicone, and polypropylene Like most of us, you have probably gathered a ridiculous amount of hand sanitiser by now. Don’t worry, it won’t go to waste when this dies down. You can use it to start a germ-free fire in a jiffy!
