Here are some more tips and tricks for hot weather camping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s nothing better than a campfire on a summer night, but cooking food over campfire in the middle of a summer day is just miserable. Save the cooking for dinner, and choose breakfast and lunches that are quick to prepare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll be using a cooler to keep your stuff cold, and there are some basic tricks to making those more effective. You can also freeze meats and other foods before putting them in the cooler. Large blocks of ice last longer than bags of ice cubes. Make your own by freezing milk jugs full of water, and then use it as cool drinking water as it melts. Wrapping a Mylar space blanket around your food to hold in cool air as you open the lid is another trick. But the best advice anyone can give you with coolers is to avoid opening them. Do so only when strictly necessary and for as short a time as possible. For that reason, it often makes sense to pack a separate cooler just for drinks since you\u2019ll be accessing that more regularly. And you can pour any melt water from your food cooler into your drinks cooler.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
