Those little extra things that make life easier

Everyone has found something that makes their camping trip a little easier. Here are some things We use.

Table cloth clips
clothesline (stretchy twisted yellow with clips on the ends)
plastic see-thru bins to store gear (packed the same way, in the same bin)
Tarp and bungee cords (good for so many things, that could be another thread)

Cheap baby wipes.
Bucket light.
Plastic milk crates (No, I didn't steal them. If you watch, you'll often see them on the side of the road).

Happy Camping!

What is a bucket light? and what do you use those milk crates for?

I know I use the crates to place freshly washed dishes, etc. in then hang it to dry. They stack nicely and can be used for extra seating as well. I'm sure there are other uses but that's what I do with them.

I've seen the bucket lights but never have used one. I believe there may be a string or two of christmas lights in them to add color and lighting without really adding to the bug issue. Again they can be used as extra seating if needed.
