At camp, keep trash organized—and your van from smelling—with a water-resistant canvas trash bag that fits over your rear spare tire. We like the Trasharoo, and it’s an easy way to haul trash out of national parks or more remote sites that don’t have trash service.

The Climatic Laboratory is used to test aircraft and other equipment under realistic conditions before their use in extreme environments. Vehicles tested at McKinley include a C-5 Galaxy transport, the F-35 fighter, B-1 and B-2 bombers, and M1A1 tanks.

A small heater in an old filing cabinet should help. Golden rod is a brand popular for gun safes so they should be easy to find second hand.

Calibration plots for lactate and glucose sensors resulted from averaging real-time signals acquired in the last 30 s for each concentration for three separate sensors. Error bars in each plot indicate the SD of data from three separate sensors. During human trials, the subjects paused to take an image of the device using a smartphone camera, for colorimetric analysis. Mean values extracted from three random points (n = 3) from the colorimetric assays yielded the chloride concentration and pH. Mean concentration values calculated from the data generated by the electrochemical lactate and glucose sensors during the last 1 min (n = 60) of cycling resulted in concentrations.

Sadly, this wondrous kitchen innovation has yet to catch on stateside. Even if you want to custom-build your own, a lot of people don’t have the necessary cabinet hanging over their kitchen sink.

It might seem obvious, but remember to pack your cell phone. Cell towers are likely to work — at least for sending text messages, if not for making calls — in all but the worst disaster situations. Be sure to pack two ways to charge it, plus a backup battery and solar/hand-cranked charger. Even better, pack a hand-crank emergency radio as most of these include a flashlight and built-in battery for charging your gadgets.

In the U.S., food waste is estimated to be between 30 to 40 percent of the overall food supply. That’s about 150,000 tons of food wasted each day by Americans. An easy way to be less wasteful is to, well, not waste food. Instead of storing leftover stews, veggies and casseroles in the fridge where they’re likely to be forgotten before they mold, instead toss them in the freezer. These reusable silicone food storage bags are a smart, easy and reliable way to store meal-prep kits, leftovers, liquids, snacks and other foods in the freezer to extend their shelf life. Plus, they can be used in the microwave, oven, dishwater and refrigerator, too.

The most common type of desiccant is silica gel. It is glass-like in appearance but contains many small inter-connected channels opening as pores at the surface. The structure is similar to a sponge with a large inner surface area, adsorbing water molecules on the surfaces of the channels and pores. These pores are capable of adsorbing up to 36% of their own weight of moisture without changing their structure. Silica gel does not develop any vapors, is completely odorless. The adsorption capacity depends on the relative ambient humidity: the higher the relative humidity, the higher the adsorption capacity.

Obviously I’m hungry. And decaffeinated. “Coffee?” asks my desk mate brightly. “Are the beans British?” I ask, earnestly. “I’ll find out,” she says. She doesn’t come back. I spend a morning looking at advice on the 48% Preppers group. Popular essentials: toilet roll, powdered milk, 20p spaghetti bags, nuts, cleaning products. “Amazon is a great place to bulk order,” Elgarf later tells me. “We’re very mainstream. People make us out as very tabloidy but it’s actually very boring. We’ve had proper Preppers join the group and they leave within minutes because they don’t think we’re taking the end of days seriously enough.”

Families, especially, or anyone traveling with more than one person in a camper should pay attention to organization. This doesn’t mean that messes don’t happen; when I travel with my two kids in our camper van, it transforms from orderly to a disaster in a matter of seconds. But adhering to these 10 tips makes tidying up your camper a cinch.
