Make camping gear smell better

You can easily learn how to get those nasty smells out of clothes, but another useful trick is to avoid the stench in the first place. That’s especially useful to practice when you plan to be extra active and in some ways less hygienic, such as when you’re camping or hiking. Before going on a trip, make sure you place a few dryer sheets in your tent, sleeping bag, socks, and any other item, to eliminate less-desirable odors.

Would you have ever guessed that you can use these dryer sheets while going out on a trip? Neither did we, but apparently it does wonder when you need them!

    I keep my luggage fresh between trips by throwing a couple of dryer sheets on them. I also place them on tennis shoes that I bring in my carry on, to keep everything else fresh.
