Default Re: Top 15 Amazing Camping Cooking Tips

Run a wire clothes hanger thru the roll of paper towels. You'll have a handy hanger & it's easy to move around the campsite as needed.

Take toliet tissue w/you as there is never any in the toliets when needed. Hanger idea good too for the TP. You may feel sheepish while you carry it, but you'll be prepared & the person that chuckled when you walked past - well guess what their problem w/be.

Take extra baggies in various sizes & slip into a larged baggies. You'll find you 'em for everything.

Be sure your dog or cat has plenty of water & are secure after dark. Never leave them lose to run. Smaller animals fall prey to coyotes & attract other preditors. (When I lived in CA smaller animals were called "coyote food".)

A small garden rake comes in handy to clear debris & clean-up the camp areas.

If you are a regular camper, an old military footlocker is great to set up as a kitchen. Handles make it easy for 2 people to carry, resists elements & additonal seating if needed.

For evening cocktail hours we stash our wine & liquor bottles inside 1/2 gallon juice & milk cartons. Just wide enough to toss in a few ice cuke to keep cool & discrete enough the neighbors don't notice. LOL.

Purell, hand/baby wipes make quick help for clean hands for cooking or eating.

A large stock/soup pot is handy to boil water when needed & the pot makes a better dishpan than plastic as plastic always seems to be greasy & hard to clean. A few drops of ammonia in the dishwater helps w/greasy dishes/pots cleanup.
