- Spring is a time to relax in nature. When it's warm outside, the sun is shining, the trees are blooming - I want to go on a picnic or into the forest with tents. My tips will help you organize a comfortable outdoor recreation. After all, so many unpleasant things can spoil the mood: annoying insects, rain, wet matches, wet shoes, and much more.
So that mosquitoes do not bite you in the forest, I will show you how to make an insect trap. Make a solution of water and sugar and pour it into a cut plastic bottle. To make a camping washbasin, use a plastic bottle and syringe. To make a camping shower, use a hula-hoop and shower curtain. To make windproof matches, wrap them with toilet paper and string and dip into hot paraffin.
Plan snacks, breakfasts, lunches and dinners for your next backpacking trip with my helpful tips. I’ll show you how to make a campsite fire pit. See also how to make a spoon from a plastic bottle, how to pack eggs on a trip, how to keep drinks cold by making a cooler bag, and how to wash the dishes on the hike.

I think this video did an excellent job of showing one the possibilities.; planting the seed, if you were. Now it's up to the audience to use, discard, or modify the hacks to fit their needs. Personally, I see quite a few of these that I can use at home. And above all, she was kind enough to share it with us. I for one, am grateful.
Wow, so many great ideas! Thank you
The hack for transporting eggs is good - you can freeze them this way. If you are doing egg dishes with cheese or flavors like tomatoes or onions or ham or mushrooms you can add to the egg mix and then there is no need to chop up at the campsite. Transport flour, or rice, or polenta (cornmeal), or dried beans, or oats this way as well
I like the reflectix in a cooler idea. With mine I bought a small styrofoam cooler 1/2 inch thick for 4 bucks. I cut it in several pieces to the exact size of the interior of cooler including the top and bottom. Then I cut the reflectix like they did in video. I put the foam next to the inside of cooler and put the reflectix on top of that. I taped all the seams with aluminum tape so I wouldn't get leakage and mold. At 4 days I still had ice. At 7 days the ice had melted but the temp of sandwich meat was only 50 degrees. This was in low dew point weather but it was still 78 to 81 degrees. I also did this to start my campfire. I took cotton balls and put a coating of petroleum jelly on them and put them in a ziploc bag. This camping hacks video that has several things I could do because almost all the items needed I already have in the house.

Great ideas thanks for the dope tips!! 🔥🖤🔥
Awesome 👏 👍
This video can not only be good for camping but for storms to lot of. great full tips thanks instead of doubt it learn from it
Good idea 👍👍
Adorable muffin who actually performs the demonstrations
Coollll... my goodness you taught some newww tricks ... I thank you so much for that. Keep it moving...
I'm still laughing at the one square of tp camper. Lol!
Heidi Ullrich: This is going to sound gross, but as a child my father told me about that. He said that’s what the military taught the GI’s. One square. Fold it into a triangle, then fold it into a triangle again. The corner where the points meet would be ripped off. Then unfold, stick finger thru hole and wipe. When done, pull finger back thru hole thereby cleaning finger. That little corner that was first tore off....that was to clean under the finger nail. I thought he was joking, but if you google “ how to wipe with one piece of toilet paper”, you’ll find the how to videos. 🤦♂️🙄
Good video ,don't know bout music though
And the pants down around ankles.
nice job making a little hobo camp stove and lighting it directly on dry grass
Hahahahaha! Thats how you do it right. It makes a bigger fire on those chilly nights.
Aww, it wouldn't be a real urban camping trip w/o a visit from the FD
Wow such useful hacks 😊😊 nice hacks
Totally awesome! I love these hacks! I'm goina try a few! Thank you for posting! 👍👍😀
Gotta few morons below...lol...my my...y'all must be some city dwellers. Well, listen up chumps, these hacks are GREAT for us "off-grid, prepper/survivalists as well! AND in the city, shit can hit the fan also, so be smart like Macgyver or you can just sit there with your thumbs up your asses staring at 4 walls wondering when the electric will come back on! 😗 Suck on that thought for a minute...👊
Really great idea 😀❤️❤️
Absolutely brilliant!!!!!
Syck! Awesome stuff👍
Amazing 👍👍👍
I like the outdoor shower idea.
A lot of great tips. thanks!
Some great ideas. Unfortunately, most of the starting tools are from things we do not use in my house (plastic pop bottles, hypodermic needles, etc.). But really, some great ideas. I already have products to help with most of the things mentioned (like the egg carrier you can even find in Walmart's camping section), but the camp washing machine was a hoot, as was the hula-hoop shower.
I live in a poor neighborhood so finding used plastic pop bottles and hypodermic needles is never a problem
Like the wax matches idea
these never get old....
thanks.
Finally! I'm always getting stuck with food that I've completely cooked and no spoon but access to a finished two litre.
And a knife. Just drink up
It’s amazing. Great ideas . Thanks for sharing.I learn a lot from this video
Very smart Lady and good looking as well
Sensational very good tips.
Τέλεια τα συστήματα και οι πατεντες μπράβο πάντως.
A couple good ideas but so much busy work!
Thank You Very good
The toilet paper dispenser is the most practical hack here! Roughing it is one thing but getting a piece of toilet paper from a roll without a dispenser is where I draw the line!
Emergency spoon 😂🤣 Just drink the soup!!
As a maladroit blind to spatial mechanics, I can only say: WOW.
Loved the video!!!! Thanks!!!!
Very useful ideas!
That common camping essential, good old yeast! 🤪
Well, that and saffron of course
Great vids great ideas thanku
Genius!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Love your hacks! pretty cool ideas.
We learned alot of these in scouts, the coffee can stove using a can opener to make holes, the bunsen burner, the soap in the nylon
Many beneficial things. ty
Cool thanks
I love your ideas. You are awesome!
Very clever, loved them all.
Awesome thank you, great info!!
You should allow the hot water to cool (about 20 minutes) before adding the yeast to the mosquito trap. Otherwise, the hot water will kill the yeast, making the trap ineffective.
next time I'm camping I'll have to remember to pack yeast. Perhaps near the pasta maker
Despite all of the negative comments, most of these ideas can be adapted if you have the right mindset. It covers a lot of different areas of the camping and egh... Glamping world. There is a little bit of everything for everyone.
Pipe down, listen up and use what you can use from this video. Be grateful they decided to put in the effort to make this video.
Before you say anything, you most likely would have put your opinion out there just like I am. My opinion is no less wanted or asked for than yours.
Ideas are utter crap!
Lol hardly.
Get it .Great Video's
Thank you
Omg,Right Off The Bat..Like Everyone Takes Brown Sugar and Yeast Camping😂
Watched ten minutes of it when I realized I already watched it, dang it!
How much iQ do you have
Used to make waterproof fire starters out of corrugated cardboard coiled up inside of a cleaned tuna can and filled with melted paraffin. It's waterproof and supports starting a fire even with wet wood.
Like it a lot
Good job. !
I like what you do what you do is a maze thanks for sharing
Love that hoola hoop shower curtain and stove idea. Need tin snip though. How long does that can candle last? One burn? Careful cooking in plastic baggie.
Your music is as cool as your hacks. 👏🏾
3:45 why you need a spoon when you can drink it
In spite of all the wiseass comments, this is a awesome video... Thanks!!
1:21 Skippy peanut butter jar work better as it's water proof
my man killin them jorts at 1:29
Forgot the first aid kit for when she cuts her fingers off with these scalpels and tin cutters.
haha good point
Great hacks
How to clean sneakers with a toothbrush.... AMAZING!!!! I WOULD NEVER HAVE THOUGHT OF IT!!!!
Next hack: how to clean your teeth with a shoebrush!!!
@@ih1955 aaaai8 I k*
Don't forget putting a potato in tin foil.... revolutionary stuff
@@zerohero187 Yup... :D "Extremely Clever Hacks" Guy is a genius
What was applied on a brush?
So, how many campers actually do any of these?
The impracticality amazes me. :-)
good ideas
5:30 the sleeve getting wet gave me so much unnecessary anxiety
Mel Rose I was with it until exactly that moment...
Ikr
Egg boxes are also handy for travel.
But now you have options.
Hence "also" 👍
I already use the sponge trick 🧽 Insted of squizing the last shampoo/soap out, just leave it there for your next shower 🚿 saves you money.
The toilet paper was funny. My ass needs more than one piece 😅
Lex: if you want to laugh, look up Military one piece toilet paper. You’ll get the idea. Lol
@@jerryglass6556 hahaha poofinger w john wayne t.p.
@@jerryglass6556 so is this the reason why some countries don't shake hands? It's a one sheet of tp country and they might have residue left on fingers?
@@ThatWhichISee No, because many countries are a NO sheet tp place
The sous vide omelet was pretty awesome.
Lovely
Cutting that perfect hole in the side of the can was not just a hack it was downright sorcery!
Cool collection! Some I knew. Many I didn't. Good trash can upcycling . Can't understand so many negative comments. Potaters gonna potate I guess.
Exactly
Very clever with the matches! I carry 3 BIC lighters. AND some matches. And one small road flare in the winter in case I need to absolutely, positively start a fire FAST. I would not EVER break eggs before taking them on a journey. In fact, they're good for a few hours out of the fridge if cooked right away, but once cracked, things begin growing in them rapidly. As for palm-sized water bottles, they're perfect for dish soap - no leaks. Gatorade bottles are perfect for storing all sorts of food items. As for the can in a can twig stove, consider using a drill: Drill six large (1/2 inch) holes around the upper edge of the larger can while drilling six small holes in the sides near the base. On the slightly smaller can, drill six small holes in the sides around the base as well. Fill the smaller can with twigs and a dash of methanol. Place into large can and light. Place water pot on can. Control the airflow with a small circle of aluminum foil around the bottom holes in the smaller can. On the makeshift cooler (red), the aluminum needs to be facing outward to reflect the heat back to the outside.
For those that are not skilled at building SUSTAINABLE fires: Butane lighters and a bottle of hand sanitizer, some drier lint and LOTS of dry kindling and tinder to get you going. However much of each wood you think you need...triple that at minimum. For those of us that know how to PROPERLY build a fire, there’s nothing more satisfying than a “one match fire build” And matches are for nostalgia. Love using them, but don’t bet your wet, hypothermic butt on them. Always bring MULTIPLE fire starting sources.
@@jerryglass6556 I just started using fire steel, it is pretty satisfying and will always spark. I keep meaning to make a bow drill set, any day now.
The omelette trick is great, if you like to eat heated plastic
The outdoor shower curtain hack wasn't too bad. Just glue some magnets or Velcro to the ends so it stays shut
A bear is going to love the 2-liter mosquito trap. Better make lots extra.
Very good superb
10.0
I really liked the rope harness you made for the bucket, that is indeed a handy thing to learn.
Ya but she went so fast with the rope instructions I didn't understand what to do
0:14 Warm water!!.O.K.,define that:It`s comfortable for your skin.Hot water kills yeast almost instantly.
The method of keeping matches in the small lidded jar is a good way to make a glass-schrapnel grenade.
Thank God im not the only one who thought that!
Amen!
Not to mention that big, heavy glass jars are always preferable to put things in for camping that started out in tiny containers that weigh nothing.
Clever. Would that defo work? What a wally I would appear if I tried it and it failed. Am camping in my garden at the moment due to a very very annoying neighbour...
Umm need to go old school camping hacks like using Mother Nature to survive that’s the way to really survive
I Love yu CAMPING HACKS🤩
Cool when i brake my purple bucket i hauled out to the woods....oh yeah !!! the bic !!!!
Best HACK Go Commando while camping! 1:30
My personal favorites are the items that are already perfectly compactly packaged that get repackaged into bulky plastic containers!! Yaaaay plastic. Followed closely by the plastic mosquito trap that manages to capture 15 of the ten million mosquitos living around my campsite!! Yaaaaay platic!!
I know, and the stuff makes a fantastic wilderness fire starter. And if the surrounding forest wood is too wet to burn, you can build your fire entirely out of discarded plastic. Keeps the mosquitos away, is lightweight, economical and so easy to find. It's strewn all over in most of our 'wilderness' areas
5:35 puts the Striker inside the Jar with the Matches . Bad Idea !
Not really.
@@SirCumferencelel Remember "Ohio Blue Tip Mathches" they were a "Strike Anywhere" match , you could strike them on a Brick or any rough surface . I even saw a Cowboy Movie where one of the guys would stike Matches on his Shaved Head . They sold them for Years , Decades , then somed of them ignited during shipping and many Trucking Companies including the Post Office then refused to ship them .
I wanted some to take Camping , so I made my own with Wooden Kitchen Matches and "Ring Caps" from a Cap Gun . I poked holes in the top of the Match Box and stood the Matches up in the top of the Box making sure they did not touch each other and drove 90 miles with them on my Dashboard . As soon as I got to Camp I Carefully set the Box down on the ground and I picked it up to move it and a few of the Matches must have touched and all 50 matches Went Up ! Even though I dropped the Match Box it burned the F____ out of my Hand ! I'll be more careful from now on ! :0
Your forgetting one key factor my friend...Oxygen.. :)
Who else is watching in 2019 for when the world goes crazy lol
We're already there
9:17 So that's what I do when I'm done wiping!
Some of these arent useful. Why would i inject soap in a sponge. Just bring soap
Yeah because I often go camping with a varying size of cans, a hula hoop and a shower curtain and syringes 🤔
Shaun Donnelly 🤣🤣🤣🤣
5:51 whats the point the matchbox is smaller.
To keep matches dry from rain/bodies of water. If the matchbox gets wet, the matches get wet. It's better to store them in plastic rather than glass, though.
The first one...lol after ten hours you kill six bugs
This Is gooood
Video for people who camp from the armchair in their living room
lol
Still I have seen some great useful hacks !
Totally.....cheapasses. just go be in the woods. What a joke
That's rite! Who will bring so much household stuff like pail, metal cutter, shower curtain to camping... Last but not least washing clothes...
@@Tigerzbeer the smell of the campfire smoke is one thing, but B.O. really is quite another. While I agree that it is a bit cumbersome to backpack a lidded bucket and plunger into the woods or on long hikes, personally i pack some environmentally-friendly multipurpose cleanser (like a few soapnuts), and a small washbasin that folds quite flat, some strong, lightweight rope, & a few strong but very small & light clamps. Clothes chosen is quick-drying. Well - worth the few extra grammes of mass.
kickin it OL Skool..
Now you've just got to find the perfect landfill to camp in.
A camping spot that looks like a landfill? That means Mejicans have been there.
Bantamdude Rodriguez 😂😂😂
Nah, I can find most of that stuff lying around in 'wilderness' areas
Or the top of Mt. Everest
