Ladies, there’s no question your normal beauty routine will go by the wayside on a camping trip. Ponytails and baseball caps will probably become your normal hairstyle. But even if you’re not perfectly coiffed, you can still feel pretty clean and good after a day hiking or canoeing or just having fun.
First, if you’ve got a reasonably clean water supply you’re in luck. There are plenty of biodegradable shampoos and conditioners around now that will make your hair feel great and not contaminate the water supply. Some even come in solid form to make them supremely portable. So if you can bring your hair to the water or the water to your hair, go ahead and indulge.
But what do you do if where you’re camping doesn’t have clean water? In this instance you should consider packing a dry shampoo. This is a powder that you sprinkle onto your scalp and then allow to absorb the excess oils before you brush it away. It’s no substitute for a hot shower, but it will keep your hair from getting too dirty.

A rather new technology has recently hit the world of camping
flashlights, and it is quickly become the most preferred kind of
lighting when looking for an efficient, inexpensive yet long-lasting
flashlight. And it is for good reason, too. LED, which stands for
light-emitting diode, has an estimated operational life of 100,000
hours – this is compared to only 5,000 hours from a traditional,
incandescent bulb.
LED camping flashlights tend to be more compact, taking up less room
in your camping pack, and they are often brighter than their
incandescent counterparts as well. Because LEDs are designed with an
80% efficiency rating, only 20% of the power created by an LED
flashlight is lost to heat. With a traditional incandescent bulb, that
is reversed – only 20% of the energy from the batteries is providing
actual light, while the remaining 80% of that energy in an
incandescent camping flashlight is lost in heat energy. When you
compare these facts along with many more, there really is no
comparison. LED camping flashlights are without a doubt the way to go.
