SNOPES

Well, bummer. It certainly sounded cool. At least you guys saved me from embarrassment on our next camping trip!

Thanks for those handy tips. Those hot dogs will get the kids everytime!

After reading the list, I continued to scroll down and read comments. Seems many of these tips were bogus.

Hotdogs over a campfire? They’ll work for me and my boys everytime!.

Number 19, the bucket washer really works. Years ago, when we were camping with the kids, we would put socks, undies, etc., in a 5 gallon bucket, with detergent, stir it up, then set it in the back of the pickup. Tied it upright, and spent the day driving to fishing spots, etc. That evening, removed the clothes, disposed of the water appropriately, rinsed well and hung to dry. Jeans were hard to do, but could be done. Saved on laundry trips.

Shucky-darn !! When I first saw that I thought is was chilis !!

IMHO, the very best chilis are grown in Hatch, NM.

Careful with the rake and hotdogs... same reason you don't use refridge racks over a campfire - the shiny coating contains cadmium, IIRC, which will contaminate your food... The Mountain Dew idea is worth a try! ST

You're worried about food getting contaminated?
Do you know what's in a hot dog? Does anyone know? :)

I'm betting there are no heavy metals in hot dogs but who knows.

How many 1000's of hotdogs would you have too eat for it to do any harm.
You would be sick of hotdogs long before you could be harmed by the rake. Besides that, they are not coated like fridge racks.

Man that was great, makes me wanna go camping, right now! Lots of unusual useful tips.

The raked winnies is the only bad idea and the premade pancake batter was clever but not worth it.

Thanks for the link!
