When it comes time to plan your vacation, do you always decide to go camping because you love this outdoor activity? If the outdoors is a real passion for you, why not discover some camping tips to make your future trip even easier? Here are 8 ingenious ideas for organizing your camping equipment.
1. Fishing rod organizer
This great trick will save you the trouble of your fishing rods getting knotted together. All you need is a 3″ diameter PVC pipe and a pool noodle.
- Drill holes every 4″ in the PVC pipe.
- Use a knife to make slits in the pool noodle, spacing them 4 inches apart.
- Align the pool noodle and pipe to the wall.
- Attach the pool noodles to the wall with 2″ screws. Then screw the PVC pipe to the wall at a comfortable height and attach your fishing rods.
2. Drink holder
- Make a 3″ hole in the arm of a chair with a hole saw.
- Take two short straps (available in camping stores), use glue and attach them under the arms of the chair.
3. Spring sleigh
A plastic snow sleigh is also useful during the summer season. Use it to carry garden debris, concrete bags, camping equipment and plants. The sled slides on grass, sand and gravel with ease.
4. PVC knife holder
To transport your kitchen knives safely during picnics and camping trips, make knife containers from PVC pipes and caps.
5. Rechargeable lantern
This portable lantern can add light during your night walk or dining table when you eat under the stars. The Luau portable lamp is a rechargeable LED lamp that lasts 6 to 10 hours on a charge.
6. Emergency adhesive tape
Want to bring a small amount of tape “just in case”? Wrap it around a water bottle or other cylindrical object so that it is always within reach. Brilliant!
7. Portable barbecue
Get a portable barbecue like the robust Char-Broil Grill2Go. This is designed to be transported anywhere. It has a sturdy base, a top that closes for transport and works with portable propane cylinders.
8. Strong straps used for supple bags
If you are carrying a supple sports bag, buy a nylon strap (available in camping and fabric stores) or short tether straps. Simply attach the strap around the handle of your bag and label it with a waterproof marker to find out what’s in your bag.
