Oh wow. So many great tips from you & your commenters! I happened into the local Harbor Freight yesterday. Glow in the Dark ROPE! For tents I was thinkin. And the frozen bottles I've done for years. By the way, an ad popped up on my phone - some kind of portable fire thing. Essentially a fire in a can. Anyway, couldn't you just put charcoal in a can? Wood?

No. If you use the ca n it can catche fire. Thats why theres so much smoke. be careful out there people!

Bring a pencil sharpener with camping, find a small stick, make savings with it, it's great fire starter idea. For back packing especially a great light weight idea.

Nice video brother!!! One thing I like to carry is a lightweight frisbee ( 2 oz). I bought mine at the 99 cent store. It's great to use it for a dinner plate, a fire stoker, a fan to cool your self when its hot or just to have some fun tossing around camp with some friends. That's my tip, hope it helps. Thanks man! :)

Some great info. Really liked the foil/rope tip... I have a tip to share. A couple of days before you go, make a couple of evening meal ahead like spaghetti, chili, chicken pot pie, minestrone, Brunswick stew...after making them put them into an oven roasting bag and freeze them. Then pack them in the cooler, when they thaw place them in a large pot of boiling water- just slightly boiling. Your food will heat up, you have a great hot meal, no messy clean up...you have some clean hot water and if you have leftovers they store easy. Mo

My friends and i went for camping in a reserved forest once. We brought canned food, the ones with a finger tab so we don't need to bring along a can opener. Halfway through cooking, i realised that we didn't have a spatula to flip the food or to fry an egg. I used the lid of the can as a spatula and the tab as the handle. Works like a charm! From then on, we never brought along spatula to save space and washing effort.

It's now way past 2012, so no shirt necessary! LOL Just wanted to share with you the pleasure camping has brought to my family. My wife and I last went camping in August of 2014 at the Lakota Wolf Preserve in Columbia, NJ... near the Delaware Water Gap. It was magic! Good food, good fire, good weather! Unfortunately, I found out that only a month later, I had to undergo 48 radiation treatments for cancer. Now it's "the other side of the trials," and I survived to smile again and plan THIS summer's camping trips. You have no idea how wonderful they will be for us. The magic is BEING THERE! Good camping to you all!

Adding sage to your campfire or fire pit keeps mosquitoes and bugs away... Orajel will stop mosquito bites from itching immediately... Baking soda helps with Bee stings...I like using the Dakota fire pit when practising stealth camping... I always like to work with my children on basic skills, such as how to use a Compass, Tying knots, Fire Starting, Shelter building and so on. It is important to teach our kids this things, I believe it builds strong character, a hardened will to survive, respect and diligence. This is why i enjoy websites such as Intense Angler, helps me with new ideas and a drive to share them with my sons.

Ziplock bags, lots of them. I pack sets of my underclothes(shorts, undershirt, socks) into separate plastic bags. Keeps them dry, yes, but also just grap one and head to the shower or for a change. No rooting around in your bag for stuff. They're reuseable and believe it or not machine washable. When I change the dirty ones go back into the bag and when I wash I turn the bag inside out and wash it. You can't dry it but it line dries pretty quick.

A photographer's vest or fishing vest has been a great help to me. Not only because I travel by scooter/motorcycle for tolls but, for "need it immediately" type of items such as sun screen, lip balm, bug repellent, a quick snack or even a band-aid. They typically have plenty of pockets to afford the close access & close to body weight dispersal. Worth the consideration !!

Here's a tip: Don't park your cooler next to the fire.

And put only natural repellents, like lemongrass, on your skin. If you also want to use an artificial repellent, spray it only on your clothes near your skin, so at the ends of your sleeves, your collar, your hat brim, pants legs, socks, etc. Just remember the "dirty" zones and don't touch them. ... The artificial insect repellents generally last longer than the natural types, so when the natural lemongrass, etc. oils have evaporated away, just apply more. You won't need any more of the artificial spray. .... About the smoke type "repellent", In Japan, katori senko is used. It is a coiled incense that is burnt in small flat cans. It just covers the smell of humans. As long as you are near the smoke from one, downwind of you will be masked. The mosquitos won't smell you. There is a small, hiking version too. You clip it to a backpack , and you're always covered.

I found if you take "strike anywhere"matches and coat with wax and let dry, they become "waterproof matches". Helps when it's rainy and need a fire to survive.

Solar lawn lights for your site. They make the space festive and help you see where you're going.

For quick hand washing, we put a few drops of anti-bacterial hand soap in a spray bottle filled with water. Just that little bit of soap helps washing and you can use the spray to rinse off the dirt!

Thank you for the nice tips. if you want to reduce amount of mosquito bites, put a twig of sage on the camp fire. It is a natural mosquito repellant and if you are cooking meat over a bed of coals it even flavors the meat at the same time.

I lost the one about the pre-cooling the ice chest. If you freeze more gallon jugs just put the cap on, put in the ice chest. The ice will last longer, no mess, and more cold water for a hot summer day.

I like the bread clip/close hanger tip. One old trick (taught to me by an Uncle who used to love being outdoors) when I cook breakfast, I save just a couple teaspoons of bacon grease to smear on my ax/hatchet to keep the edge from rusting.

I have been camping, but it's been years. I've never had a chance to practice my survival skills, but watch videos on KZread all the time to learn new things. I've been prepping in earnest for the last year, but off and on for 6 years. I can't wait to try the things I've learned on this channel.

Here's my camping/outdoor tip of the week. Make your ice last longer in your cooler by priming it. The night before your trip place your cooler in a cool spot. Put ice in the cooler about, a quarter full, add rock salt and a small amount of cold water. Let it sit overnight in that cool spot. The insulation in the cooler will become chilled and less energy will be pulled from your ice to cool inside the cooler wall. Empty the water rock salt and ice. Place your pre chilled drinks or other items you refrigerated the night before into your now primed cooler and add ice. Your ice will last longer and your drinks will stay nice and cold.

+mark Mckee I have used dry ice to pre cool my cooler before, and there is usually a small piece I bury under my cold packs to keep them cold longer.

Love the bread clip idea and the frozen bottle in the cooler. My helpful tip is if your camping in northern California or southern Oregon there in a shrub called " Manzanita" and it’s everywhere, look it up to know what it looks like. The wonderful thing about this bush is it makes great firewood for camping. Don't use living Manzanita but dead dry branches to make your fire. It's a hard wood but easy to break if needed and very little smoke if any and it makes hot coals for cooking. bonus is the leaves can be boiled in water to make a combatant for poison oak that you will come across in California and Oregon, cheers and happy camping…

My husband and I take our dogs camping. It gets very dark at night.We came up with the Nite Ize Nite Dawg ~ $3.99 lights hooked to the dogs' collars. This makes for a very quick location finder especially for the little black Basenji. It also works great for walking on the trail. It provides just enough light to 'shine their path' and keeps them from falling off the trail. Thanks for the great videos. Keep up the great work.

When you leave your tent to join the folks at a nearby campfire, before you leave your tent, take out your tiny spare flashlight, turn it on and leave it in your tent. When it's pitch black after you leave your friends watching hiker TV, you'll be able to find your tent a lot easier.

Good to see your still around , I've been teaching 10 to 15 year olds the art of fire starting, flint and steel, char cloth , punk wood , haven't had a chance to do any camping because of major back surgery this spring and now found out more back surgery coming up soon , so I did get to teach the art of fire starting

Great tip(s) of the week! The bread clip one was new to me but I can offer a few other alternates in case you're not a bread eater (like me). One is to simply twist two lines together and then pinch your laundry through the loops that creates, another is to take a small stick and split the end and make a basic clothes pin. I've also been known to use a mini-biner or two as a cliip :)

You might have seen the upside down fire. Instead of starting with small kindling and eventually getting to larger logs, you lay a row of 5 or 6 Approx. 5 " logs side by side in your fire pit, then you lay a row of 3" logs perpendicular to the first ones on top. With that ready you can lay another row perpendicular to the last one, then build your Tee Pee kindling fire setup on top. The bottom logs should ideally be about 20" long so the whole set up will be pretty close to square. Once you light the tee pee set up the fire will tend itself for hours.

My tip on those cold nights. I'm a contractor so I took some fanfoil house wrap that you put under vinyl siding . Stuck it between my air mattress and mattress pad to keep me warm at night. It's only 3/8 " thick and has an R value of about 2 , but your body heat reflects back on to you.

I am not much of a camper, but learning these kinds of camping tips can inspire ideas in other aspects of life. Thanks!

My tip is to "precool" my ice chest the bay before I leave. This is accomplished by placing several gallon jugs fill with water and frozen. When I remove them and place my food and ice in the cooler the day I leave, no heat energy (actually negative heat energy) is lost by the "cool down the cooler" process.

When ever I cook in the outdoors with a lot of greasy pots/pans, there is one special method that I use to clean them up without having to bring any dish soap. The trick is to use the ashes from the fire coals and mix them up with the left over grease in the pan. This creates a soaping agent that cleans them up pretty well, then just rinse with plenty of water :).

Reduced ash and lard are in fact, the basic recipe for old fashioned SOAP . . .

Cold night in a tent? Heat a rock that will fit in your dutch oven or cook pot. Half fill the pot with Dry sand. Drop in the hot rock and fill sand over the top. The sand will release the heat slowly keeping you a bit warmer. Set it on a metal plate to keep it off and away from the floor and walls.

Mosquito tip - Heat a teaspoon in your billy when your boiling water. Apply the hot spoon (that is don't scald yourself) to the bite. The direct heat helps destroy the protein that the mosquito injects which causes itching. Simple and really works.

always, great to get some more camping tips, thanks guys!

Great video, for only a penny you can create a tent guy-line tensioner. Just drill two holes in a penny a little bit bigger than the diameter of the lines on your tent, one on each side and then bend the penny at about a 45° angle. Now you pass the tent guy-line through both holes in the penny and tie a knot at the end of the line. Pull the line through the backside of the penny so that your knot is on the inside "V" of the penny and the loop on the backside goes around your tent stake. This handy trick makes for no knot adjustments in the middle of the night after a few too many cold ones, Enjoy!

You could still do it if you filled it in and threw some pine needles or something over the area. By setting up a tent and camping in the area you're going to leave a trace anyway. Heck, by just walking in a forest you're leaving a lot of trace. lol People always have to push this stuff to the impossible. If one is honest their motto would be "Leave as little trace as possible. It's just using common sense.

Good video, I have some tips too, instead of the tabs I bring clothes pins, 36 for a $1 store and I have a million uses aside from clothes, like hanging my solar lights reading glasses, keys etc. For mosquito bites good old Vics vapor rub, again at the $1 store, helps the itch and in a pinch is a repellent, yes, you’ll smell, but hey is camping, you can toss a saturated cotton ball in the camp fire and they’ll pretty much leave you alone. Thanks for your video, it really has useful reall camping tips, unlike others I like the frozen bottle idea. Looking forward to see more.

The tinfoil on the line is in fact genius. You can incorporate that into a dozen different things to see at night.

The ones like a small duffle bag with area for baseball bats, pocket for batting gloves, duffle area for mit, clothes, balls what ever. They are the perfect tent bag! Instead of rolling your tent and trying to get the damn thing to fit in it's original bag just roll it toss it in and zip it up. Poles in the bat sleeve!

Thank you John Hereofcourse. Your tips help me a lot.

The bread bag clips is an awesome, tip Thanksss

The mosquito one was really helpful!

The bread bag clips are a great idea, but I buy bread sealed with twist ties. My answer to clothes pins and a bazillion other uses are the screw down type tarp clips. I have never had my clothes hit the ground wet in a heavy wind. The tarp clips really hold. But I think next time I use them, I will just clip them on my clothes and use your ridge line loop and toggled to attach them to the line. That will make hanging them MUCH easier and faster!

Hey, I love these types of simple tips & tricks. Great stuff and I really appreciate them. Btw, poison oak is another one of those pains that can sometimes happen when camping. Unfortunately, I can have some pretty strong reactions to poison oak. Recently, after a bad breakout where the over the counter and prescription medicines weren't working, I discovered that wiping the affected area with white distilled vinegar really saved me! If you're unfortunate enough to get poison oak, consider trying distilled white vinegar.

probably a little to late for a t-shirt, but sharing our knowledge is more important any ways so... I like to take and put my coolers in the shade and put Mylar space blankets on them, with the shiny side out, reflecting the sun away,they stay cold much longer. Also for mosquitos, there is a plant that is called Plantain weed, not the banana like fruit. this is a plant that grows in most people yards, driveways, woods etc. so its pretty easy to find. If you take it and grind it up with a little water so the juices of the plant come out and put that on the mosquito bite it will immediately stop itching, it will promote healing etc. This is a very good plant to know, it also works on bee stings, cuts, bruises, rashes,wound healing activity, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antioxidant, weak antibiotic, immuno modulating and antiulcerogenic activity.

Want less water mess in your cooler? Instead of bags of ice, order BLOCKS OF ICE. Blocks last much longer and because they are blocks they fit nicely in the corner of your ice cooler.

Toothpaste and Beeswax candles can and do attract bears. A case in point: In 2005, in Utah’s Rock Canyon park, Two brothers where awakened by a bear that slashed open their tent and barged in, trying to get at a toiletry bag with toothpaste in it. It made a curious swipe at one brother’s leg, and then bolted. I would not use toothpaste in bear country unless it's winter. It does attract them.

Outstanding video. I like your demeanor. As you said, no big deal, but we all have to see and hear these ideas a lot in order to implement them into our own personal camping habits. I've been avidly camping since the 80's. I even have my own camping blog that I've been operating for 3 years now. I have a different take on camping. It's much like I handle life. Try to prepare for the unexpected, and handle anything that occurs, even the unexpected. Because life is usually an unpredictable experience I like the challenge of camping. I just try to bring as many solutions to as many problems as I can when I go camping. Then I get to exercise my brain when something happens that I'm unprepared for. There's always a solution to every problem (the MacGyver Solution). Sometimes I just have to take some time to think about it. I'll subscribe to your channel.

Those are definitely some very good tips there my friend. Those inexpensive tarps in particular sure do come in handy don't they. Thank you very much for taking the time to watch and comment by the way... it means a lot.

Instead of foil on your guy lines, use small limbs with leaves. They are 100% biodegradable and you can use them for a host of other tools, ie fishing poles, marshmallow stick, etc. And, they are WAY easier to see...

Toothpaste and Beeswax candles can and do attract bears. A case in point: In 2005, in Utah’s Rock Canyon park, Two brothers where awakened by a bear that slashed open their tent and barged in, trying to get at a toiletry bag with toothpaste in it. It made a curious swipe at one brother’s leg, and then bolted. I would not use toothpaste in bear country unless it's winter. It does attract them.

That's why you hang ALL of your smellables 200 yds away from your camp.

sweetcostarica Utah isn't really in bear country. The main animal you have to be very careful about is mountain lions/cougars in Utah. I think we do have some black bear population here but we don't have grizzlies. We don't even have wolves.

Bear attacks in Utah are very rare. You said: "The main animal you have to be very careful about is mountain lions/cougars in Utah." I strongly disagree with you. The most dangerous life form to humans in Utah are: 1. The most dangerous - *Horses* 2. A distant second most dangerous - *Bees* 3. Third *Bull goring* 4. *Deer* *Note* Rankings are from the Health Department. Referance: www.deseretnews.com/article/546830/MOST-DANGEROUS-ANIMALS-IN-UTAH-HORSES-HEALTH-DEPARTMENT-SAYS.html?pg=all

sweetcostarica You put too much effort into that comment.

Loved the clothespins tip, thanks.

Great tips this week. Love the bread bag clothes line clips. Here's one... Stuff some spare clothes in a stuff sack and put them under the foot of your sleeping bag before you climb into bed. Raising your feet at your ankle when sleeping flat on the ground (and especially if you sleep on your stomach or side) can really help you get a better night's rest.

For mosquitoes, rub banana peels on them, works better than toothpaste, and who doesn't bring bananas when camping? If you don't, do so, bananas are better than coffee for keeping you alert, they don't need to go in your cooler, and if you mix them with cinnamon, butter, and a little rum, they make a great hobo pack desert.

Del, how do you get the mosquitoes to stay still whilst you're rubbing them down with the bananas? ;-)

2 bananas + 2 eggs mashed together will cook up like pancakes and be more filling.

Oh, one more tip. A small tent inside a bigger tent keeps you warmer. You can put your sleeping bad inside the little tent and your food and other stuff inside the bigger one. Also double-insulated against dirt, mosquitoes, light. (But not noisy neighbours.)

What about a 3rd or 4th tent...? Why not a camper if your worried of dirt etc. or don't camp! Ps... Not a smart idea to keep food in a tent...maybe the noisy neighbors tent...lol but that's just a bad idea

great tips Buddy! Well i have a few for you! Collecting fire wood when its been raining: Find dead trees that are standing up! They collect way less water than the ones on the ground! Also pine sap is a very good fire starter. One last thing, all fatty meat grease makes great candles made with soda cans. Sure would like one of those shirts! lol

In the scouts, they taught us in no uncertain terms to never use rounded rocks (of any description) in or around fire. They got rounded by being in water for millions of years; ever so slowly soaking up moisture all the while. When heated, steam formed within the rock can't escape nearly fast enough to relieve substantial internal pressures, with risk of explosion.

Best way to not get skeeter bit is have a fire and have it smoking No mosquiters no nats no bites. Smell like smoke but no bites

Ground mint leaves reduce the itching of mosquito bites too.

I like to mix a small amount of water to some meat tenderizer, making a paste, to put on bug bites or bee stings. Something I learned from a doctor and it works great!

Absolutely ingenious! Thanks for sharing the awesome tip :-)

You can buy reflective tape to help highlight your tent strings n the close line. The military uses it to highlight things like this n other areas that could cause harm. It is white n reflects light at night even red filters on flashlights.

J Birge except that personally I wouldn’t camp near cows, and I won’t be transporting any anytime soon. 👃🏻😀

Simple tip-put a towel or a piece of clothing over your cooler to help the sun not shining directly on it. It will help keep your ice longer!

Good Info.My tip would be to pack a candle this is very helpful starting a fire when dealing with wet conditions.A fire sure feels good when it is cold and wet.Have a great day
