Camping life hacks

[anonymous-user]

Planning a camping trip with the Mrs and kids to a family friendly music festival. I'm fine with camping, as is she. Kids will obviously need a bit of thought, so I've got plans for torches, fun food, sleeping arrangements etc.

Was just wondering if the lateral thinkers on here had any surprising little hints or tips, little methods that make camping life a bit easier or more comfortable or would give the kids (primary school age) an "oooh" moment, and maybe make them a little more compliant without resorting to ropes and tent pegs.

Also interested to hear about culinary tips, easy single burner recipes etc.

Over to you... What are your camping secrets, inventions, and essentials?

That's a great idea. I'm already about 40 quid down after buying torches and batteries for the kids but those led straps could be permanently fixed inside the tent. Off to eBay I toddle. Thanks

If I am a complete idiot, is there anywhere I can go to work out this simple wiring? How would you do it? That solution looks great compared to anything to but off the shelf.

I'm guessing there will be 2 wires at the end of the lights, those would be connected to the 2 wires coming out of the battery packs.

Yep. Red to red, black to black, bit of insulating tape, Job done!
