In the latest episode of the hit show “Hacks”, Hannah Einbinder’s character wears a jersey from Lajee Celtic Club, a Palestinian football club. The team is based in Aida Refugee Camp. The club reinvests 100% of its profits into charities for Palestine.
I’m 100% sure that Hannah actually owns that jersey and that she wanted to wear it. She’s definitely been doing some heavy-lifting for Jewish antizionist representation in Hollywood. She’s such a mensch! ❤️ submitted by /u/pleasealwaysn4ever to r/JewsOfConscience [link] [comments]

I live in Japan and have traveled it extensively, here are the touristy spots that I think are "worth it" VS "not worth it"
Big disclaimer, this is based on my personal opinion. I've traveled to a majority of Japan's prefectures, and many towns within each of them. This list is based on my own experiences and is meant to serve as advice for people who want to travel to Japan but are unsure whether the "touristy" spots they are interested in are actually worthwhile. "But I went to (insert place I dislike) and it was great!!" awesome for you, make your own post about it. I imagine most people on this sub haven't had the privilege to travel this country as extensively as I have thanks to me living here for many years. I want this to be a genuine resource for people whose travel to Japan might be their first and only time. I want you to have a great time here! I've made another post awhile back about some hidden gems I think more people should know about, if you're interested. I plan to make a sequel post soon since I've traveled to far more prefectures and towns since then! Touristy and WORTH IT Nikko, Tochigi Prefecture This is a popular vacation spot for Japanese people living around Tokyo, and has become a popular tourist locale as well. The city area of Nikko is massive and includes many sections differentiated by their geography. I spent four days there (two in the Chuzenji area and two in the Kinugawa area), and it was fantastic. Stunning nature around the lake and Mt. Nantai, and beautiful onsen valley in Kinugawa with a lot to do in the area. I went in the fall personally but I can imagine beauty during all seasons with the variety of nature. Osaka Aquarium A massive aquarium that deserves its reputation as one of the best aquariums in Asia. Aquariums are one of my favorite things to go and see when I'm travelling, and Osaka Aquarium is tied for my favorite in all of Japan (tied with Toba Aquarium in Mie Prefecture, which I highly recommend by the way). The structure of the aquarium is one of its most interesting features, and you will be blown away by some of the species it hosts. Easily a must-see in Osaka. Shirakawago, Gifu Prefecture Again a popular Japanese tourist destination that has reached a foreign audience in recent years. Perhaps I got insanely lucky, but I traveled there during Golden Week and by some miracle it wasn't that crowded. During this time there were also still cherry blossoms in bloom due to it being high in the mountains, and that was an unexpected surprise (cherry blossom season has ended in most everywhere in Japan by May). This is a lovely historical locale with beautiful architecture and stunning views. I do feel the need to note though that there are extremely similar gassho-zukuri villages in neighboring prefecture Toyama (Ainokura and Suganuma) that are way, way less popular and therefore less crowded, and so certainly worth visiting. Itsukushima (aka Miyajima), Hiroshima Prefecture This is the island with the famed ocean Torii temple off the coast of Hiroshima. While that whole temple complex is beautiful, I most enjoyed going up the mountain and hiking around that area, where you'll find easy trails going down the mountain and some more remote temples. The whole island is very popular with tourists but has so many shrines and temples to appreciate that I found it completely worth visiting. Most people come by boat in the morning and leave by boat in the late afternoon, but I enjoyed staying overnight, especially since you get a far less crowded temple experience in the early morning. Be warned though, there's maybe five total restaurants that serve dinner on the island in the evening and they are expectedly packed. Bring food, make reservations, or otherwise expect long wait times. Himeji Castle, Hyogo Prefecture My favorite castle in Japan. I will put the disclaimer that I haven't been there since 2018, so maybe it's way more crowded now. Still, I can't imagine crowds deterring me from enjoying the beauty of this enormous castle complex. You can spend a lot of time exploring the entire castle, and the nearby area is similarly enjoyable. Easily the most architecturally-interesting and photogenic castle in Japan, in my opinion. Hakone, Kanagawa Prefecture This city is famous for its onsen and ryokan, and to be honest, if you're going JUST for that, I think you could easily find better ryokan at more affordable price-points in many other places. However, there are things to do in Hakone that make it worth visiting. Particularly, the Hakone Open Air Museum is one of my favorite art museums in the country. As I said the ryokans run more expensive than ones you can find in less popular areas, but at the same time they are representative of the best parts of the ryokan experience -- wonderful onsen, peaceful atmosphere, impeccable food. If you're willing to splurge, you certainly won't be disappointed with the experience. Touristy and NOT WORTH IT Harajuku, Tokyo This one really pains me to write as someone who adores many subsets of J-fashion and who has been to Harajuku many times starting from 2013. Unfortunately, the Harajuku of today is quite different from its origin as a hub for eccentric fashion culture. Nowadays, Takeshita-dōri is overrun with instagrammable food and kitschy shops that sell cheap generic kawaii goods. Some lolita or brand stores still remain, but they're uncommon. Not to mention, the street itself is ungodly levels of crowded, so navigation is a nightmare, especially if you're with other people. What I recommend instead: If there is a particular brand of J-fashion you're interested in, they almost certainly have a physical store in Tokyo. Look into stores for brands you're interested in and go there for the J-fashion shopping experience. For example, I really love the brand Liz Lisa, and they have a location in the very popular shopping center Shibuya 109 that I make sure to hit up whenever I happen to be in Tokyo. Akihabara, Tokyo Similar to Harajuku, the original appeal of Akihabara has changed in recent years in response to overtourism. If you're interested in technology, gaming, and anime culture, you can surely still find a lot of that in Akihabara, but I think it's gotten very inconvenient for practically shopping for any of these things. I think Akihabara could still be enjoyable for tweens and teens who want the novel experience of being surrounded by anime imagery and nerd culture that you just don't see in other countries (especially if they aren't looking to actually buy anything or otherwise can spend mommy's money on overpriced merch), but aside from that audience, I don't think there would be much appeal. What I recommend instead: Nearly every major city in Japan has maid cafes and otaku stuff. It's guaranteed. Whatever major city you're going to, look up anime stores (ESPECIALLY resell and second-hand stores), maid cafes, or arcades. You can experience the appeal of Akihabara for way less money and with way fewer people. Notably, look into the birthplace of the author of a popular manga or anime you love -- I guarantee if it's popular enough, there's museums or shops or statues or whatever else dedicated to said creator/anime in their place of birth. Kyoto*\* Big, BIG asterisk on this one. Please hear me out. If you're someone who primarily cares about seeing the most famous places in Japan (like, you're going to visit Japan once in your life and you mainly want to see the big famous bucket-list places that everyone knows), by all means go to Kyoto. It's the cultural capital of Japan for a reason -- there's a lot of important culture there. You absolutely will not be starved of things to do. Similarly, if you only have a short time in Japan and you want to be able to see a lot of temples in close proximity to each other (and again you don't care about crowds), Kyoto is great for that. I would argue rushing through sightseeing as many temples as possible is kind of antithetical to appreciating them, but to each their own, and I especially understand if you have a short time in the country and want to see all you can. HOWEVER, I feel it's my responsibilty to report what I've seen from people experiencing Kyoto in recent years. Since moving to Japan, I've had maybe 10 or so different international friends all come to visit the country at different times. Without fail, I warn them about visiting Kyoto and give other recommendations, and they end up going to Kyoto anyway. Then after their trip, without fail, they say to me something like "Tokyo was so fun, I spent a week there and never ran out of things to do! Osaka was great, the food was amazing. Kyoto was...um....well, Kyoto was really crowded." None of them has said that Kyoto was especially enjoyable nor that it was a highlight of their trip. Not one of them. You might be in the camp of people who look into Instagram hacks for getting around crowds or "tourist hacks" for Kyoto in general. Maybe you're in the group of people who say things like "Yeah Kyoto has really crowded spots, but you can find smaller temples with fewer crowds if you look for them!" Maybe you have the money to shell out for a local guide who can get you into lesser-known places. These are totally valid and if that's how you want to travel, go for it. But I feel the need to tell you: as much as Kyoto has a lot of great culture and history, there are so, SO many other places in Japan that have temples just as beautiful (or even better IMO), food just as delicious, and history just as rich, all while being WAY less crowded, and WAY cheaper. So, all I ask is you consider more before putting Kyoto on your Japan itinerary as default. What I recommend instead: If your interest in Kyoto is in seeing Japanese culture through shrines, temples, and gardens, I beg you to do ten more minutes of research into what Japan has to offer and you will find so much to see. I've been to Kyoto's most famous temples (before they got insanely crowded) and while they are beautiful, I wouldn't put any of them in my top 10 in the country. Kiyomizudera is a great temple complex but there are better ones. Kinkakuji's views aren't much better in person than what you can get from a photograph. Fushimi Inari Taisha is admittedly beautiful and maybe makes the top 10 without the crowds. But with the crowds, no chance. As an aside, I plan to make a post eventually with my favorite temples and shrines in the country, so hopefully that will be of help to some people. As for gardens, any garden in Kyoto is handily beaten by Kenrokuen in Kanazawa, Korakuen in Okayama, or Sankeien in Yokohama. Shirahama, Wakayama Prefecture A bit of a disclaimer here that I have no clue if this place's popularity has reached the Western sphere. However, I do know that it has reached the Asiatic sphere, and oh my god, I think I saw more Chinese people in Shirahama than I did when I literally went to China. Now if the place was just crowded, no biggie (clearly I think some places are worth the crowds if they're enjoyable enough). The issue is, Shirahama just doesn't have enough appeal to make it worth the insane crowds. It's known for its white sand beaches, but going there I learned it only has like two white sand beaches total and they are very small. It's also well-known for its famous fish market, Toretore Ichiba, where you can see things like whole tuna being cut and auctioned in real time, and even buy some yourself. The fish market was loads of fun despite the hectic energy, but it absolutely gave me food poisoning and I spend the rest of my time in Wakayama throwing up and fighting a fever. What I recommend instead: For beaches, there's a lot of interesting ones. Pretty off the beaten path, but Kawazu in Shizuoka Prefecture has lovely beaches (and though I haven't been elsewhere along the Shizuoka coast, I would bet other towns are similarly lovely). Tottori's famous sand dunes line a long beach that is very picturesque. For something different, Kumano in Mie Prefecture has the longest pebble beach in Japan. I sadly have never been to Okinawa, but of course their beaches are famous and I expect much bigger than Shirahama's. As for fish markets, Karato Fish Market in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture has fresh, delicious fish that didn't make me puke. Fukuoka Sorry Fukuoka, you just didn't wow me very much. I think because this prefecture has the major airport hub people use to get into Kyushu, it is a popular destination. I've taken two trips there, to Fukuoka City and Kitakyushu, and neither gave me much to really sink my teeth into. I actually left Kitakyushu before I had planned to because I simply had exhausted all there was to see, even really digging for things to do. Now, I've heard from a couple friends that there are some rural highlights in the prefecture, and those may definitely be worth seeing. As for the prefecture's most popular destinations, though, they were underwhelming. What I recommend instead: If you're going to Fukuoka, it's probably as a gateway to go to elsewhere in Kyushu, or to Yamaguchi. I recommend taking the precious time on your trip you were planning to spend in Fukuoka instead giving more time to your Yamaguchi/Kyushu trip. Yamaguchi you can easily spend a week in, and Kyushu outside of Fukuoka is one of the most rewarding areas of Japan to travel through. This post is not extensive, there are many popular places I've been to that I just didn't feel the need to comment on -- this post is already incredibly long. Feel free to ask in the comments "is (xx) worth it?" about anywhere and if I've been there I can give my humble opinion about it. Thanks for reading, and I hope this gave some insight! submitted by /u/scout-scoot to r/JapanTravel [link] [comments]

Is it normal for a 10-year-old to need a "proxy chain" to play Roblox, or is my son lying to me?
i need a reality check because I am not technical, and my husband thinks this is just "boys being boys." Our son, well call him "leo" (10M), has always been very focused. We limit his screen time to 1 hour a day, but we make an exception for "educational coding." He told us he was learning a language called "Rust" because it’s used in Minecraft. We thought that was great. He asked for a specific laptop (a weird old ThinkPad, not a MacBook) because he said the keyboard was better for his "finger placement." we aren't sure why a 10 year old is worried about finger placement at his age, but we bought it to encourage the hobby. For the last six months, he has been spending hours in the basement "optimizing his servers." I thought he meant Minecraft servers. He has three old desktops he salvaged from my husband's office hooked up to a tangle of wires and a fan he took from the garage. Yesterday, the police didn’t come, but a very angry man from the city utility company did. Apparently, our house has been causing "significant signal interference" for the entire block. I marched downstairs to confront Leo. I found him with a walkie-talkie and an antenna made out of a Pringles can pointed out the window. When I demanded to know what he was doing, he started crying. Not because he was in trouble, but because he "lost the handshake." He admitted everything. Apparently, he was not just playing Minecraft. He was angry that his ping was too high (laggy?) when he played on the Asian servers to trade rare items. To fix this, he didn't just upgrade our internet. He figured out how to access the neighbors’ routers. He told me, "Mom, Mr. Henderson still uses the default admin password 'admin,' it’s literally negligence on his part." He had created a "mesh network" using the smart fridges and Ring cameras of about six houses on our street to boost his bandwidth. He said he needed the distributed processing power to crack the encryption on a specific Roblox "loot box" algorithm. The part that scares me is his logic. He doesn't see the problem. He looked me dead in the eye and said, "I patched their firmware while I was in there, Mom. Mr. Henderson's firmware was from 2019. I basically did him a favor. Security through obscurity isn't real security." He is ten and still sleeps with a stuffed charmander. He also admitted that the reason we haven't seen ads on our Smart TV for a year is that he redirected our DNS to something called a "Pi-hole" he hid inside the wall behind the TV. I thought we were just lucky. I have confiscated the ThinkPad and the Pringles can. He is currently grounded from all electronics. However, I went into his room to clean up and found a notebook full of what looks like credit card numbers. I asked him about it, panic rising, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Those aren't real, Mom. That's just a generated list for testing the Luhn algorithm. I'm not a criminal, I'm a researcher." How do I handle this? I feel like if I ban him from computers, he’s just going to hack the parental controls again (which he apparently did three months ago. he wrote a script that resets the router whenever my phone tries to pause his access). Is there a camp for this? Or do I need a lawyer? Edit: He just asked if he could have his "Flipper Zero" back because his "Tamagotchi needs to be fed." I googled what a Flipper Zero is. It is not a Tamagotchi. I am shaking. submitted by /u/oscurochu to r/masterhacker [link] [comments]

Not to mention, the street itself is ungodly levels of crowded, so navigation is a nightmare, especially if you're with other people. What I recommend instead: If there is a particular brand of J-fashion you're interested in, they almost certainly have a physical store in Tokyo. Look into stores for brands you're interested in and go there for the J-fashion shopping experience. For example, I really love the brand Liz Lisa, and they have a location in the very popular shopping center Shibuya 109 that I make sure to hit up whenever I happen to be in Tokyo. Akihabara, Tokyo Similar to Harajuku, the original appeal of Akihabara has changed in recent years in response to overtourism. If you're interested in technology, gaming, and anime culture, you can surely still find a lot of that in Akihabara, but I think it's gotten very inconvenient for practically shopping for any of these things. I think Akihabara could still be enjoyable for tweens and teens who want the novel experience of being surrounded by anime imagery and nerd culture that you just don't see in other countries (especially if they aren't looking to actually buy anything or otherwise can spend mommy's money on overpriced merch), but aside from that audience, I don't think there would be much appeal. What I recommend instead: Nearly every major city in Japan has maid cafes and otaku stuff. It's guaranteed. Whatever major city you're going to, look up anime stores (ESPECIALLY resell and second-hand stores), maid cafes, or arcades. You can experience the appeal of Akihabara for way less money and with way fewer people. Notably, look into the birthplace of the author of a popular manga or anime you love -- I guarantee if it's popular enough, there's museums or shops or statues or whatever else dedicated to said creator/anime in their place of birth. Kyoto*\* Big, BIG asterisk on this one. Please hear me out. If you're someone who primarily cares about seeing the most famous places in Japan (like, you're going to visit Japan once in your life and you mainly want to see the big famous bucket-list places that everyone knows), by all means go to Kyoto. It's the cultural capital of Japan for a reason -- there's a lot of important culture there. You absolutely will not be starved of things to do. Similarly, if you only have a short time in Japan and you want to be able to see a lot of temples in close proximity to each other (and again you don't care about crowds), Kyoto is great for that. I would argue rushing through sightseeing as many temples as possible is kind of antithetical to appreciating them, but to each their own, and I especially understand if you have a short time in the country and want to see all you can. HOWEVER, I feel it's my responsibilty to report what I've seen from people experiencing Kyoto in recent years. Since moving to Japan, I've had maybe 10 or so different international friends all come to visit the country at different times. Without fail, I warn them about visiting Kyoto and give other recommendations, and they end up going to Kyoto anyway. Then after their trip, without fail, they say to me something like "Tokyo was so fun, I spent a week there and never ran out of things to do! Osaka was great, the food was amazing. Kyoto was...um....well, Kyoto was really crowded." None of them has said that Kyoto was especially enjoyable nor that it was a highlight of their trip. Not one of them. You might be in the camp of people who look into Instagram hacks for getting around crowds or "tourist hacks" for Kyoto in general. Maybe you're in the group of people who say things like "Yeah Kyoto has really crowded spots, but you can find smaller temples with fewer crowds if you look for them!" Maybe you have the money to shell out for a local guide who can get you into lesser-known places. These are totally valid and if that's how you want to travel, go for it. But I feel the need to tell you: as much as Kyoto has a lot of great culture and history, there are so, SO many other places in Japan that have temples just as beautiful (or even better IMO), food just as delicious, and history just as rich, all while being WAY less crowded, and WAY cheaper. So, all I ask is you consider more before putting Kyoto on your Japan itinerary as default. What I recommend instead: If your interest in Kyoto is in seeing Japanese culture through shrines, temples, and gardens, I beg you to do ten more minutes of research into what Japan has to offer and you will find so much to see. I've been to Kyoto's most famous temples (before they got insanely crowded) and while they are beautiful, I wouldn't put any of them in my top 10 in the country. Kiyomizudera is a great temple complex but there are better ones. Kinkakuji's views aren't much better in person than what you can get from a photograph. Fushimi Inari Taisha is admittedly beautiful and maybe makes the top 10 without the crowds. But with the crowds, no chance. As an aside, I plan to make a post eventually with my favorite temples and shrines in the country, so hopefully that will be of help to some people. As for gardens, any garden in Kyoto is handily beaten by Kenrokuen in Kanazawa, Korakuen in Okayama, or Sankeien in Yokohama. Shirahama, Wakayama Prefecture A bit of a disclaimer here that I have no clue if this place's popularity has reached the Western sphere. However, I do know that it has reached the Asiatic sphere, and oh my god, I think I saw more Chinese people in Shirahama than I did when I literally went to China. Now if the place was just crowded, no biggie (clearly I think some places are worth the crowds if they're enjoyable enough). The issue is, Shirahama just doesn't have enough appeal to make it worth the insane crowds. It's known for its white sand beaches, but going there I learned it only has like two white sand beaches total and they are very small. It's also well-known for its famous fish market, Toretore Ichiba, where you can see things like whole tuna being cut and auctioned in real time, and even buy some yourself. The fish market was loads of fun despite the hectic energy, but it absolutely gave me food poisoning and I spend the rest of my time in Wakayama throwing up and fighting a fever. What I recommend instead: For beaches, there's a lot of interesting ones. Pretty off the beaten path, but Kawazu in Shizuoka Prefecture has lovely beaches (and though I haven't been elsewhere along the Shizuoka coast, I would bet other towns are similarly lovely). Tottori's famous sand dunes line a long beach that is very picturesque. For something different, Kumano in Mie Prefecture has the longest pebble beach in Japan. I sadly have never been to Okinawa, but of course their beaches are famous and I expect much bigger than Shirahama's. As for fish markets, Karato Fish Market in Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture has fresh, delicious fish that didn't make me puke. Fukuoka Sorry Fukuoka, you just didn't wow me very much. I think because this prefecture has the major airport hub people use to get into Kyushu, it is a popular destination. I've taken two trips there, to Fukuoka City and Kitakyushu, and neither gave me much to really sink my teeth into. I actually left Kitakyushu before I had planned to because I simply had exhausted all there was to see, even really digging for things to do. Now, I've heard from a couple friends that there are some rural highlights in the prefecture, and those may definitely be worth seeing. As for the prefecture's most popular destinations, though, they were underwhelming. What I recommend instead: If you're going to Fukuoka, it's probably as a gateway to go to elsewhere in Kyushu, or to Yamaguchi. I recommend taking the precious time on your trip you were planning to spend in Fukuoka instead giving more time to your Yamaguchi/Kyushu trip. Yamaguchi you can easily spend a week in, and Kyushu outside of Fukuoka is one of the most rewarding areas of Japan to travel through. This post is not extensive, there are many popular places I've been to that I just didn't feel the need to comment on -- this post is already incredibly long. Feel free to ask in the comments "is (xx) worth it?" about anywhere and if I've been there I can give my humble opinion about it. Thanks for reading, and I hope this gave some insight! submitted by /u/scout-scoot to r/JapanTravel [link] [comments]

Is it normal for a 10-year-old to need a "proxy chain" to play Roblox, or is my son lying to me?
i need a reality check because I am not technical, and my husband thinks this is just "boys being boys." Our son, well call him "leo" (10M), has always been very focused. We limit his screen time to 1 hour a day, but we make an exception for "educational coding." He told us he was learning a language called "Rust" because it’s used in Minecraft. We thought that was great. He asked for a specific laptop (a weird old ThinkPad, not a MacBook) because he said the keyboard was better for his "finger placement." we aren't sure why a 10 year old is worried about finger placement at his age, but we bought it to encourage the hobby. For the last six months, he has been spending hours in the basement "optimizing his servers." I thought he meant Minecraft servers. He has three old desktops he salvaged from my husband's office hooked up to a tangle of wires and a fan he took from the garage. Yesterday, the police didn’t come, but a very angry man from the city utility company did. Apparently, our house has been causing "significant signal interference" for the entire block. I marched downstairs to confront Leo. I found him with a walkie-talkie and an antenna made out of a Pringles can pointed out the window. When I demanded to know what he was doing, he started crying. Not because he was in trouble, but because he "lost the handshake." He admitted everything. Apparently, he was not just playing Minecraft. He was angry that his ping was too high (laggy?) when he played on the Asian servers to trade rare items. To fix this, he didn't just upgrade our internet. He figured out how to access the neighbors’ routers. He told me, "Mom, Mr. Henderson still uses the default admin password 'admin,' it’s literally negligence on his part." He had created a "mesh network" using the smart fridges and Ring cameras of about six houses on our street to boost his bandwidth. He said he needed the distributed processing power to crack the encryption on a specific Roblox "loot box" algorithm. The part that scares me is his logic. He doesn't see the problem. He looked me dead in the eye and said, "I patched their firmware while I was in there, Mom. Mr. Henderson's firmware was from 2019. I basically did him a favor. Security through obscurity isn't real security." He is ten and still sleeps with a stuffed charmander. He also admitted that the reason we haven't seen ads on our Smart TV for a year is that he redirected our DNS to something called a "Pi-hole" he hid inside the wall behind the TV. I thought we were just lucky. I have confiscated the ThinkPad and the Pringles can. He is currently grounded from all electronics. However, I went into his room to clean up and found a notebook full of what looks like credit card numbers. I asked him about it, panic rising, and he rolled his eyes and said, "Those aren't real, Mom. That's just a generated list for testing the Luhn algorithm. I'm not a criminal, I'm a researcher." How do I handle this? I feel like if I ban him from computers, he’s just going to hack the parental controls again (which he apparently did three months ago. he wrote a script that resets the router whenever my phone tries to pause his access). Is there a camp for this? Or do I need a lawyer? Edit: He just asked if he could have his "Flipper Zero" back because his "Tamagotchi needs to be fed." I googled what a Flipper Zero is. It is not a Tamagotchi. I am shaking. submitted by /u/oscurochu to r/masterhacker [link] [comments]

Recruiter accidently emailed me her secret internal selection guidelines 👀
I didn't understand what it was at first, but when it dawned on me, the sheer pretentiousness and elitism kinda pissed me off ngl. And I'm someone who meets a lot of this criteria, which is why the recruiter contacted me, but it still pisses me off. "What we are looking for" is referring to the end client internal memo to the recruiter, not the job candidate. The public job posting obviously doesn't look like this. Just wanted to post this to show yall how some recruiters are looking at things nowadays. submitted by /u/svix_ftw to r/codingbootcamp [link] [comments]

What are your genius camping hacks?
Headed for a week to camp on the Ottawa river with my son and some family and was wondering what genius ideas I haven't heard of. Some of mine; I bring a set of bells for the kids zipper on their tent, fake grass mat make a really good mat outside the tent, vanilla extract and water makes great cheap bug spray and I use it on the tents as well. A pack of glow sticks is helpful at night to attach to my dog so I can see him submitted by /u/prettyone_85 to r/camping [link] [comments]

Best camping/festival protips or hacks?
Here are some of the biggest game changers I’ve discovered to make camping more comfortable: Sleep on an elevated surface. I put a cot in my tent and a foam mattress topper on it and it feels like I’m sleeping in my bed at home. With good pillows and your fav blanket you are gonna sleeping in luxury Aluminet. These fabrics block out 70% of the sun and it can make your tent or common space a lot cooler. I put one over my tent and sleep with the mesh windows open and it stays cooler throughout the weekend If you care about your outfits, pre plan them and use packing cubes for each outfit. Put everything including the socks, underwear, accessories, anything you’re gonna wear so when it’s time to get dressed you can. You can just throw everything back in after and it keeps your tent tidy throughout the weekend and it’s super convenient when you get dressed submitted by /u/chefkurry2 to r/LightningInABottle [link] [comments]
