Keep Your Matchsticks Dry

Matchsticks are always the best option for creating fires while camping, although, there are plenty of situations where matchsticks are useful. However, they are only useful if they are dry! There is nothing worse than finding the perfect dry spot for an evening campfire, only to discover that your matchsticks are too wet to be any use at all. You can avoid this problem by rolling your matchsticks into a piece of foil while packing for your trip and they will stay suitably dry until you need to use them.

No More Static

It is believed that dryer sheets can affect the absorbency in towels and leave a layer of chemicals on items in the dryer. Changing dryer sheets for aluminum foil is an easy solution for these issues. Use foil to create a smallish ball and simply throw it in the dryer. Additionally, throwing a tennis ball in a dryer is said to speed up drying time. This is an excellent hack for those with little time to waste when it comes to their busy schedule.
