Zipper pull camping hack: Exit your tent and disturb no one
Don't wake up your partner while camping with this tent zipper pull hack
Man at a campground stargazing

Camping overnight comes with a bunch of challenges, but if you're like me, one of the worst ones ever is needing to exit the tent before dawn to use the bathroom or grab something from the car. My husband is a pretty light sleeper, so any excessive rumple I make is going to wake him up. Worse, I've also had the misfortune of startling wildlife. Fortunately, I've found a great camping hack that solves the problem — glow sticks!

Yep! You heard me. I've found that creating a glow stick ring through the holes in my tent's zipper pulls solves the issue. Not only does this make your zipper visible, but it also gives you something bigger to grab on to. With this camping hack, I am able to open my tent's zipper slowly and quietly, minimizing risk of startling anything inside or outside.

Camping fire

Making a campfire is one of the best parts about camping. But what if you're stuck out in the wilderness and you forget your matches? What if your lighter doesn't work? You can actually create a fire without any of these things in just a few minutes — and I'm not talking about a bow drill, although that method works well, too. Nope! For this camping hack, all you need is a little ash, some flat pieces of wood, and a cotton ball. Here's how to do it.

First, you'll want to prepare your campfire. Gather all of the wood, tinder, and kindling you need, because once we catch the cotton ball on fire, you won't have time to build things up. It doesn't matter how you stack your material. From a teepee shape to a log cabin shape, this fire-lighting method will work fine.

Grill basket from Shizzo

Some camp sites have grills, but not all of them do. If you're left with just a camp fire ring to work with, then The Shizzo Grill Basket will give you an option for a nice, hot meal. This set includes the grill basket, a basting brush, grilling gloves, and a portable case. The basket itself is deep and wide enough for all kinds of dishes from hamburgers to steak, seafood, or veggies, and it has a secure locking mechanism so you can easily flip your BBQ-of-choice. Best of all, it's made with high-quality stainless steel so it will pack light and you can easily stick it in the dishwasher when you get back home.
