| 0:22.9 | Get out there and have some fun. |
| 0:28.6 | Episode 205, 25 useful camping hacks. |
| 0:49.4 | Okay. All right, guys, I thought I would do something a little bit different on this episode and go through 25 different camping hacks. |
| 0:56.5 | Now, these are hacks that are probably more useful with car camping and not as much with backpacking, but there's some good stuff in there for backpackers as well. So listen in, let's have fun, and leave me |
| 1:02.2 | some comments at the bottom and let me know if there are any hacks that you've tried that you |
| 1:06.3 | really like to use. Camping hack number one, sage. If you live in an area in the west or an area that has |
| 1:14.6 | sagebrush that naturally grows and you're out there having a campfire and being driven crazy by the |
| 1:19.8 | mosquitoes, you can take some of that sage brush and throw it into your campfire. The smell of the burning |

| 1:44.4 | campfire night off quickly. Camping hack number three. So maybe you're on a backpacking trip |
| 1:51.3 | without Fritos or Doritos. Don't forget you can use your eyeglasses with the sun overhead like |
| 1:56.5 | a magnifying glass and start a small fire that will turn into a larger fire for survival or for help. |
| 2:03.3 | Here's another fire tender hack I've tried in the past, and it works pretty well. |
| 2:07.4 | If you take some wax and you melt it, so say a candle or something, melt it into a dish. |
| 2:12.9 | And in that dish, while the wax is hot, use a ball of dryer lint, or you can use a cotton ball or one of those |
| 2:21.0 | cotton makeup remover pads. You can buy in the store. Dip those in the wax, remove it and let it |
| 2:26.5 | cool. Then when you're out on your camp trip, you can pull one of those out, tear it open, |
