Camping Hacks

A 16-ounce water bottle will hold 8–9 large eggs. Pre-scrambling your eggs will save you the trouble of having to figure out a way of transporting them. It also eliminates the need for a separate bowl and whisk.

Corn chips (like Fritos or Doritos) make a great substitute kindling when starting a fire.

Instant grits will keep ants away from your campsite. Just sprinkle wherever you see the ants.

Safely remove a tick with a cotton ball soaked in liquid hand soap. Keep it on the tick for at least 20 seconds. The tick will cease biting, back out, and will remain stuck to the cotton ball when it’s pulled away. If the tick has been embedded for awhile, keep it in a jar so you can test it for Lyme disease.

Your deodorant doubles as a mosquito bite itch queller.
