I love when people on social media ask their followers what is your best camping tip? It’s a great way to learn because there are always great answers - good weather, lots of firewood, how to properly pack at ice chest, great friends, and don't set your tent down on an ant hill. And then I pipe up with don't forget baby wipes! That's when it occurred to me that people without babies might not understand just how valuable baby wipes can be. We haven't had little boys in diapers in about 13 years now, but we always have baby wipes on hand, especially when we go camping.

Baby wipes are an essential item for any camping trip because they provide a quick and convenient way to clean up and refresh while in the great outdoors. They can be used for a variety of purposes, such as wiping down dirty hands, refreshing your face, cleaning up spills, and even as a substitute for toilet paper in remote locations. They are compact, portable, and don't require any water or other supplies, making them an ideal choice for outdoor adventures. So, pack some baby wipes on your next camping trip and experience the peace of mind that comes with being prepared for anything. Today I’m sharing a quick list of my favorite uses.

What is the most important item to bring camping?
