You don’t have to keep back your favorite spices just because you don’t have enough room for those large spice jars. A simple but effective camping trick to take your spices and only use up minimal space is to put them into empty tic-tac boxes.

It’s simple. All you need is a plunger, a five-gallon bucket, as well as few other supplies to create a campground washing machine that will work just fine. Remember that laundry soap is part of the supplies, so take some along to the campground.

Holder for Pan and Pot

Look for a tree nearby and wrap the belt around it. Then attach the hooks to the belt. That’s all!
