How to Improve Your Campsite Part 3- Becky

Here is the last part of the notes I took at Mrs. Roots presentation. I think all of the suggested are great. I hope you will take some advise in this years season! Good luck!

Problems While Storing

• Ziplock Bags
• can leak, but great for solid foods
• keep them on hand for storing open foods
• also can be used inside of tinwear and cotton bags
• Tupperwear
• they take a lot of room in the cooler
• eggs can be stored/ stuff them with paper towel to prevent breakage
• Food getting wet in the cooler
• store things like butter in period glass with rubber rings
• vaccuum sealer works wonders for made ahead meals
• We over pack because we are afraid of going hungry
• this is where your menu is helpful
• snacks for children- take 2 of their favorite and packs in appropriate wasy- children are too busy playing or too hot

Day Trips

• Pack a picnic basket with cloth bags- Ziplock inside of them with snacks that do not need refrigeration.
• Dried apples
• Rasisins
• Apples
• Goober Peas (peanuts)
• Jars of pickels
• Jams/jellies with biscuts or bread
• Cheese
• Some ham or sausage
