Care for your
Camp Kitchen Equipment & Cooking Gear:

Camping should be stress free & fun. Good preparation in advance can make the start of your trip a breeze. Store all your camp gear cleaned & in one common area.

  • No matter how tired you are after a long trip, do not stick that kitchen storage box away in the garage. You may discover soiled dishes & 'the mold from hell' three months later when you go to use it again.
  • After every camp trip, bring the 'mess box' into your kitchen at home.
  • Over the next few days clean every dish, re-stock those usable goods: paper plates, towels, plastic forks, etc.
  • Repack the entire kitchen (mess) box as if it is 'ready to go' again & then put it away. It will be a nice treat to easily access your goods the next time you wanna bolt out the door for a spontaneous camping trip.


No matter how dirty it gets, never use oven cleaner on your camp stove top. It will burnish it & it won't be looking shiny anymore. Baked on goo is only gonna come off with elbow grease & a good scrubber. (Or maybe GooGone cleaner) Even the SOS type steel wool pads leave weird marks on this stubborn metal surface

Make a place for it! Put all your outdoor gear in the same spot in the garage or closet. That way you know where everything is, right? The headache of preparing for a camp trip will be minimal once you get organized.

LEAVE A CAMPSITE CLEANER THAN YOU FOUND IT eco camping
FYI: Each year more of our public lands are being CLOSED off to "us" because of OUR neglect. Litter, grafetti, ammo trash and off-roading abuse can easily be good excuses for the rangers to close our precious Wilderness. Be a good steward of the land and teach others the proper ways to enjoy nature, without destroying what little we have left.
