1.if you forget your coffe pot just add the grounds and water to a sauce panuntill done, when you go to pour it, put cold water on the grounds that are floating and they will sink to the botton alowing you to have a clean cup of joe.
2.can't get a fire going? try burning fritos, there is so much greas in them that they will burn like a candle.

Would have never thought of the Frito's trick...

Thanks for sharing that.

3. i've heard of using dryer sheets attached to tent openings to repell mosquitos, along with spraying listerine. the listerine thing i have heard from a couple of people.

Another good firestarter - chunks of spam.

I hadn't heard of using Listerine or Spam & Fritos. I will have to remember those!

I have heard that putting black pepper around your camp site will keep the raccoons away. I don't know if this works anywhere else but I think that the raccoons down here in Brazoria County would just use it for seasoning the food that they just stole from you

when camping in the cold, put the next days clothes and shoes at the bottom of your sleeping bag for the night. that way they will get warmfor in the morning.

to get rid of racoons, find a noisy neighbor and open a can of sardines and pour the sardine juice all over their camp site. the racoons will harrass them and not you.:eek:
