Did You Know Pinecones Are Great For Campfire Kindling?

Here some other great tips for your camping enjoyment.  I thought some of these tips could be used at home too.
                                                
Got a leaky cooler?  Simply melt some candle wax and work it in to the crack or hole.

Ants won't bother you or your food if you fill empty tuna cans 3/4 full with water and set each table leg in one.
                                                                                                                                                

To cook hamburgers more evenly throughout, put a hole in the middle of your hamburger about the size of your finger, during grilling the hole will disappear but the center will be cooked the same as the edges.

Measure ingredients for each meal ahead of time and pack in Ziploc bags. Label each bag accordingly.

Prepare soups, stews or chili etc ahead of time. Freeze in Ziploc bags and keep in cooler. Reheat for a quick meal.
 
To keep matches dry – dip stick matches in wax and when needed, scrape off the tip of the match and light.  Given a chance, matches will find a way to get wet.
 
When barbecuing chicken, grill the chicken without the sauce until it is halfway cooked, then coat with sauce. The sauce won’t burn onto the chicken and your meal will be more flavorful.
                                                                 
Put a rope through the paper towel tube. Tie ends together. Loop over slat in picnic table or from a low limb
