10 upcycled camping hacks that are simply genius!

Camping Hacks (1)

Having just come back from a weekend camping, I am always on the look out genius ways to make the experience better for me, my family and the environment. This includes repurposing what I have here plus a few nifty buys to make life a little more fun!

1) Belt Upcycle

Camping HackUse a belt and some hooks to hand pots and utensils. So simple, and it works like a dream.

2) Mosquito Repellent

3) Biodegradable Tape

4) Recycled Straw Rugs

A rug made of recycled straws. Lightweight, wipe clean, sustainable. Bell tent decor!

5) Spice Holders

Camping HackReuse those Tic Tac packets as spice containers. They’re the perfect size.

6) Headlamp Hack

7) Tin Can Drink Holder

Such a simple make! Upcycled food can, and a few bits from the hardware store. I’m going to make these soon!

8) Hammock Wilderness Chair

I admit this isn’t an easy make but what a fab a practical craft made of found wood and rope. I think you’d be able to make this out of lengths of fabric scraps, too.

9) Simple Sit Ons
