Camping Uses for Plastic Totes

Summertime is finally here! The weather has finally warmed up, and now we can get out to the great outdoors and camp (properly socially distanced, of course)! Camping is a fantastic way to combat the cabin fever many of us got during the "shelter in place" time during the past few months, so you will definitely want to make the most of your time. How can you do that? By using a surprise tool accessible to everyone: plastic totes! Let's scout out a number of cool ways to use plastic totes to make your camping trip awesome.

1. For food storage

This one is probably the most obvious, but we're going to put it here anyway. Store your food in a plastic container while camping to protect it from dust, bugs and wildlife. To protect your food, and more importantly you, from wildlife interested in raiding your food, the containers can also be easily transferred to the car or to a separate designated food storage bin or locker.

2. As a laundry basket

Since they are of a similar shape to your typical plastic laundry basket, a plastic container is an ideal alternative. It could also be used as a laundry tub if you need to do any handwashing.

3. As a baby bath

While many campgrounds provide shower facilities, many don't cater for babies and children too young for showers. Plastic containers are ideal for bathing babies in the absence of a suitable alternative.

Another helpful hint is to use see-through storage bins is a perfect camping storage idea for car camping trips. This keeps all of your gear secure in your trunk, so it’s not rolling about with every twist and turn of the road. When you get to your campsite, you don’t even need to take the lid off of the bin to see what’s inside; rather, you can quickly peek around the sides of your different bins to make sure you’ve got the right one before you dig in.

Building a Survival Kit

Typically in Midwest states like Ohio, we think of building a survival kit to have during warmer weather months because of the threat of tornadoes and floods. We tend to forget that it is also important to have in the winter when blizzards or ice storms can wreak havoc. Power can be knocked out for days, and travel can be treacherous. This year has been a quite mild winter, but weather can change quickly, so it is still important to be prepared. 38 Quart Heavy Duty Storage Container First, have a container or two that is easily carried to put your supplies in.

Composting with Plastic Totes? Yes!

A worm composting bin, known as a vermicomposter, can be fairly inexpensive and easy to maintain. There are several ways to vermicompost. Below are instructions on how to build one kind of worm composting bin designed to be used inside. It is also possible to purchase worm composting bins. You will want to put your bin in an indoor space as you do not want the worms to freeze in the winter or get too warm in the summer. Additionally, you may want to put the bin in a basement or other out-of-the-way space since you will be producing compost and worm “tea” in the composter. Here are the supplies you need: 1. Two plastic bins – one must be taller and rest inside the other, shorter bin. The top tub should have a top to keep the worms from finding their way outside the box. It also needs to be somewhat flexible so you can drill holes into it. An 18 gallon tub that is roughly 15 inches deep, 20 inches wide and 15 inches tall works well. 2. A drill – To drill the holes so the worms can breat
