Knowledge Weighs Nothing - Life Hacks, Bushcraft etc
Its camping season, so I figured its time for a repository for all of the cool tips and tricks to be found out there that can make your experience easier and more enjoyable... don't wanna pack a tent so you can really rough it? theres a lot of different shelter designs out there, need to start a fire but forgot the lighter? there are tricks out there for that as well.

It can also branch out into cool knowledge that's useful around the home and in life in general, which is why I threw "life hacks" in there... this thread is for outdoorsmen and everyman.

Tell us your trick for saving money around the house, building a fire, catching food, making a field expedient water filter etc.

You know the drier sheets in your socks thing? Yea, doesn’t work. Or I’m running through brush too thick for it to work, one of the two.
No, I've never tried sage in the fire, but I bet it helps... I would soak the bundle before I tried it, though

And as a side bonus, its should help keep ghosts away

That's sure cheaper than a decent hotel, and the view should be MUCH better.

Last one for the night, we all know the UK to be a cold, damp, miserable clime... yet this man swears by room heaters that use nothing more than tea candles and pot planters.

I WILL be trying this next year, I bet its an amazing way to heat a small space...

Save your dryer lint and toilet paper rolls. Pack the dryer lint in the empty toilet paper rolls. They make great fire starters.

Whenever you go on a float trip especially here in the Ozarks, Always carry a six to eight foot piece of garden hose. Getting dumped out of the canoe usually happens at River bends and log jams. Which is where the greatest danger of getting trapped under the water happens.
a person can you supposed to breathe with until they are freed.

Funny story. First time I took my boy camping (he was 3). It was around Halloween out on 20 acres behind my buddy's dad's house. We decided to play a trick on them. We planted the children's heads with a ghost story about a midget witch who only gets children. About an hour later my buddy's sister sneaks up through the woods acting like she's the midget witch. Besides my son there were 3 other children: my daughter age 13 and his two sons aged 12. She sneaks up my daughter starts bawling as did one of his sons, the other just barfed immediately. My son doesn't say a word, shows no emotion, straight up walked up to her and decked her. It was over at that point as even the midget witch was rolling.

I can't get the bugs off the table because we are eating in their yard. That white and black stuff on the table is definitely not bird poop either. Probably just remnants of some oreos.

So we will definitely be borrowing our equipment for the first time we go.
Take her here. It's perfect for you. All the stuff like tents, ice, firewood and water are taken care of for you and you get a small island to yourselves.

You'd better not be under very long if you're trying to breath through a hose that long. Almost all the air you inhale will be air you just exhaled and it won't take long to run out of oxygen.

I think it's more of a stop and pay attention thing because I've got a ton of memories from these trips that I wouldn't trade for anything in the world.
