We just got back from a crazy camping trip so thought I would share some of our fun crafty adventures.

Before we left we prepared by creating fire starters which we made by adding wax and dryer lint together in egg cartons after adding a wick.

They help keep the fire burning a little better than just using newspaper, especially on a wet day. We had one of those because there was a giant rain storm Monday night.

It was more important than I thought to maintain the fire because we brought the wrong size tank for our old Coleman stove. We were stuck cooking over the open fire. It turned out to be a lot of fun and it worked out anyway.

We also rigged up roasters for our marshmallows and wieners by stretching out coat hangers. Just use the old fashioned uncoated kind and twist one end into a handle.

The marshmallows were the biggest hit because we used them for smores. Put your roasted marshmallow between two graham crackers, add a couple chocolate chips and voila, you have a delicious smore.
