As
campers know, mosquitos, finding dry kindling for a fire, or the frustration of
finding your lantern has run out of gas or oil. We suggest you consider
carrying these items, with you on cheap flights from Harare, which can be
easily found in any store, and some you can easily make from everyday household
things and which will help you replace broken gear or keep bugs away.
Sage for Mosquitoes
Smoke is
a natural insect Repeller, however, even when sitting around a campfire mosquito
may still bite at your ankles as these are below the smoke level. Taking a
bundle of sage and burning it in the fire will help keep mosquitoes and other
flying pests at a distance. And sage smells pleasant and adds to the charm of
the evening. Also, any extra supply can be used as fuel for cooking. You can
get these things when you land at your destination from cheap flights from Lagos.
Potato Chips for Kindling
Snacks
are integral to any camping trip you can carry it from your home on next flights or buy it from the
destination you are going to. Sometimes you may be in a place with little to no
firewood to start a fire or what you find may be wet so not easy to burn.
Remember certain kinds of potato chips burn like kindling. Snacks like Doritos
and Fritos get ignited and provide a slow burn that is necessary to let larger twigs
and logs to catch fire. An unconventional method for building a fire, the use
of chips is definitely a lifesaver if you need to fire. So surprise your family
and friends by telling them that now o chips would be considered outdoor
equipment.
Empty Gallon Jug as a Shade for Light
Lanterns
are extremely useful for camping especially for during night time; however, batteries
die and solar charges lose their power to prolonged use. So to get a light even
in low power conditions, you can strap a headlamp to an empty gallon jug of
milk or water and switch it on; the headlamp light inside the jug will
illuminate the entire jug creative a glowing orb effect that is useful as a
light and looks pretty.
Duct Tape Cast
Most
people carry small first aid kits on cheap flights to Lagos for camping which are good for cuts and abrasions, but what
if someone in the group suffers a serious injury, like a broken bone or such during
the trip making it important to get immediate medical attention. In an
emergency combining toilet paper and duct tape rolled over the affected part
will help keep the wounded limb in place till you get help. This method will temporarily
help to prevent any further damage to the injury.
Altoids Tin: Pocket Sized Fire
An easy
to make and handy fire starter, if lanterns run out of battery and you have no
other way to get light, a small Altoids tin with cardboard rolled inside the
tin comes in handy in times of despair, when you go for a camping with cheap flights to Harare. These cardboard
filled tins also help those who cannot get a fire going, by setting the
cardboard inside on fire with a matchstick or lighter, and light it for
emergency fire or light.
Summary: These ideas do not replace regular outdoor
equipment, fire-starting methods, lanterns or medical care they can help you in
a camping quandary. As most of these items are small, they won't take much space
in your luggage. And you may end up being thankful for a roll of duct tape, a
tin of Altoids and a bundle of sage than you ever imagined.
