  1. #1 💡 Freeze water bottles to use as cooler ice Frozen water bottles in your cooler last twice as long as cubed ice AND become drinking water as they thaw. No soggy sandwiches. Outdoors Camping
  2. #2 💡 Doritos make great firestarters Doritos (and Cheetos, and Fritos) light easily on a single match and burn long enough to ignite kindling. The oil and corn make them a built-in firestarter. Outdoors Camping
  3. #3 💡 Bring a headlamp, not a flashlight A headlamp keeps both hands free for cooking, fixing, setting up tents, or hiking. Flashlights are obsolete the moment you need to do anything two-handed. Outdoors Tool
  4. #4 💡 Use sage or rosemary on a campfire to repel mosquitoes Toss a handful of fresh sage or rosemary on the campfire. The smoke keeps mosquitoes away for ~10 feet around the fire pit. Smells better than DEET. Outdoors Camping
  5. #5 💡 Rub a dryer sheet on bug bites An unused dryer sheet rubbed on a fresh mosquito bite stops the itch in 30 seconds. Something about the surfactants neutralizing the histamine. Outdoors Health
  6. #6 💡 Use a fitted crib sheet on outdoor blanket A fitted crib sheet stretched corner-to-corner over a beach blanket turns it into a "no sand allowed" baby zone. Toys stay clean. Parenting Outdoors
