How to use plastic bags wisely during outdoor activities

Plastic shopping bags are very familiar to everyone, but would you bring them with you during outdoor activities? Do you know what other functions plastic shopping bags have in outdoor activities? Here I will share with you some ways to use plastic shopping bags in outdoor activities. It should be noted that the materials of most plastic shopping bags are non-degradable and cannot be discarded after outdoor use.

1. Wrap items. Put small items, such as mobile phones, watches, cards, cameras, medicines, etc. into shopping bags. Fold them repeatedly and wrap them with rubber bands. This will better prevent water and moisture (put them in water for a few minutes to ensure no seepage or leakage).

2. At the camping site, you can use the shopping bag as a water-carrying and water-storage device, placing it in a recess or hanging it high up as needed.

3. It can be used as a shower water bag. Fill the shopping bag with water, hang it at a suitable height and poke a small hole in it. You can also use the stove to heat some hot water to adjust the water temperature as needed. This method is very convenient and practical.

4. Use it as a chamber pot when camping. After using it, tie the bag tightly and place it in the hallway outside the tent for emergency use again.

5. When camping in desert areas, you can replace the ground nails with shopping bags filled with sand and bury them under the floating sand at the four corners of the tent to connect the windproof ropes to fix the tent. When the wind gets stronger, it can be tied to the tent to use gravity to enhance the stability of the tent.

6. Tie it to tree branches or other objects as a signpost. It will be very eye-catching when it flutters in the wind (the team behind you should collect it well and not leave it outdoors).

7. Collect outdoor garbage. The weight of the shopping bag is negligible and it is easy to carry, which can bring a lot of convenience to everyone's travel. If there is anything missing, please add it. In order to maximize the versatility of equipment in outdoor activities, we hope that everyone can post the practical experience and tips on using equipment (items) that they have accumulated and share them with everyone to reduce the burden of outdoor travel.
