REVISION TO #2 - HEADLAMP BATTERY HACK
Many comments indicate this is not an ideal hack and may still drain the battery.
This should be corrected by putting a small piece of tape or plastic between the terminals so they don't touch.
(Very sorry - I wish I could correct it on screen. In the headlamps I've used, the terminals don't touch when you flip the battery around, but this isn't the case for all, as the comments have told me)

00:00 Camping Hack 1 - Red Toggle
Все толково и понятно. !
00:32 Camping Hack 2 - Headlamp Battery
01:05 Camping Hack 3 - Double Rock
Better than a red toggle, you put a first aid patch on the pocket of the bag. You might know what a red toggle means, but the walker who's trying to save your life when you're out cold might not. You can even get material tags with a keyring attachment that can be put on a zip.
01:36 Camping Hack 4 - High Point
02:42 Camping Hack 5 - Drip Line
I have an unconventional... but very much "emergency" hack for women only. Read below.

If youve forgotten to pack pads or have no acess to restock for supplies... using campfire ash can really save you. Its hygenic, antimicrobial, and absorbant and will hide odor.
Do NOT have it directly touch your skin. Use a towel or folded over shirt. Stuff it with some cold ash and charcoal and you'll get an emergency pad that can hold you over.
03:04 Camping Hack 6 - Taut-Line Stowaway
03:33 Camping Hack 7 - Fix a Ripped Tarp
Whats the chill background music??
04:20 Camping Hack 8 - Patch a Tarp

Ash from camp fire is great to clean greasy utensils as well
06:04 Camping Hack 10 - Bundle Split
06:33 Camping Hack 11 - Split a Log Without an Axe
It's funny how many camping hack videos are just very obvious things or just tips compiled from other youtube videos. This is not one of those.
07:08 Camping Hack 12 - Camp Candles
07:52 Camping Hack 13 - Clean Camp Dishes
Don't put batteries backwards, it is not saf

The plants from Saponaria genus, family of Caryophyllaceae can give real thick foam, when rubbed with water. Used to wash hands with it while playing by the river during childhood
@WadiwonderIs this guy AI generated?
@CancerMan-o8vHe's using dollar tree batteries 😂
@CancerMan-o8vAnother way to split a log of wood up too a certain size is to baton with a knife and another log of wood
@ABI.gym.fitnessgangster
@mikevargas809Actually really good tips, great video!
@The_NorthernerThank you for this video!
@CrashtopherSenderson7Most of these were dumb.
@MickeyWicked-dj8zhAhh! Please don't wash and rinse dirty dishes into a water source! Take water away from the source at least 10' or more. And if possible bury waste water like that in a pre-dug hole and fill in as the residual food stuff attracts all manner of critters.
@l.1273Your AI doesn't blink or breathe.
@rb2530how to grow hair faster
@ashikurrohman5105how to stop procrastinating
@torrevillasronelthese tips are goated
@LilBOY-jkLove it but please don't do the grease thing. FOG is not good for waterways or ponds. As more people come around and do the same, dissolved oxygen will be eaten by the little bugs that would find FOG as food. In the end, that beautiful water body will be dead.
@machinecustomersIf you dont know these already just dont go into the woods. This is all 101.
@jgbkgb123You really fell on the sword for us on the mosquitoes. I don’t subscribe or give any comments, but this one I tipped my hat for you.
@fancyPants-j4zPine cones work very well, also.
@dicktandy6785This should be titled basic dude stuff. If you want the best tip here you go. Buy 4 cheap solar blankets. Put them on the outside of your tent with tape or even gum works. When you wake up your tent wont be nearly as hot.
@jgbkgb123Always carry an extra headlamp.
@deeprollingriver52Always excellent tips tricks and wisdom for the outdoors. Thanks
@JonHighsmith-pi3fhI scrub the campfire grate in the sand/dirt to somewhat clean it off before packing it into the holder/cover, which can be made of cardboard and masking tape. Also to fix holes in a tarp, I have always used a quality Masking Tape instead of Duct Tape!
@johnswanson3741Thank you,but couldnt get past number 2...never reverse any batteries in any thing. Carry them seperate,cut a guitar pick down&slide between spring&battery,etc
@terryosborne5075Don't know if I'm a genius but I think I invented the double rock method.
@pcas-gf3tnVery good tips. Your taught line knot is also known as a "truckers hitch." Love the red cord 1st aid kit tip. That's about the only one I haven't used over time. Good video!
@guyh.4553THESE ARE AWESOME!!! I'm fairly new to backpacking but I've watched alot of hack videos and haven't seen any of these!
@gaylesimper9311duct tape fixes everything.
@rooster2134I tried quick release but my wife didn’t like it.
@Because7-8-9I am amazed at how many birch trees are in these youtubes, you go long ways here before you find 1.
@Scoop985-f8zYour taut-line is a granny knot...
Both ends should come out the same side of the wrappings, like a square knot...
Ash from your campfire works very well to remove oils from pans and isnt abrasive.
@ranjitf1How dumb one must be, not to know these simple logical things
@dzhotodzhoto6419battery hack yeah thats neat and the med kit,
@RobberLobber-w1fBattery=don’t reverse, just place any non conductive material (scrap of paper) over one terminal. Space saved and no risk.
@jeremydurdil556Great hacks! Thanks for sharing!
@KMTexasPropertiesWow, it’s rare that I actually learn more than one new trick in any of these videos so to have gotten four or five is amazing. The splitting the wood without an ax and the fat wood torches are pretty awesome as well as the natural patches.
@TristanChicklowskiMy main issue is rain and condensation
@rkb757Very good love it,!
@DannyGoldthriteA BACKPACK TACTICAL NUKE might come in handy 'cause you never know.
@josephwarra5043Muito legal o equipamento. Esse é o tipo de vídeo que abre possibilidades. Parabéns pelo conteúdo.
@TroisRafaelThanks
