Start a Fire with Ease

If you find yourself struggling to start/maintain a fire on your camping trip, give this egg carton hack a try. Simply take an empty egg carton and add charcoal into each slot. Place the egg carton onto your fire food and light it with a match. You will find that the carton catches fire easily, and it is maintained by the charcoal within. Give it a try on your next camping trip!

Waterproof Your Sneakers

While camping, there is a good chance your shoes will get dirty and muddy throughout the trip. To prevent that from happening, try this DIY waterproof sneaker trick. Take a candle stick and rub the wax it on your sneakers, coating the entire shoe. Next, leave it in the sun to heat up. Once the wax has melted onto the shoe, it will form a protective coating, preventing your sneakers from getting wet!
