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.

Storage to Seating

If you are a social butterfly, like many people out there, you may thrive in the atmosphere of hosting get-togethers at your apartment or home. However, two big issues can arise when you are the host of your social group. These are Storage of your belongings and Seating for your many guests. Well luckily if you have extra plastic storage totes sitting around your living space you can create one solution to two problems. For this project all you will need is two plastic storage bins , a piece of plywood and a quilted bedspread. This project is remarkably simple as all you need to do is put the storage bins end-to-end and place the piece of plywood over them to create a flat surface. After the plywood place the bedspread over the top and either fold it under the storage bins or simply let it hang over the edges and hold it in place with decorative objects or walls. You can even put throw pillows on top of the bedspread if you are feeling extra fancy or some padding between the plyw...

DIY Water Feature

Have you been feeling like your landscaping is missing something? Maybe you need a water feature! A water feature will give your outdoor area some visual and audible interest. We are going to tell you how to make a small water feature that's inexpensive and easy to do. First, you need a clear or opaquely clear watertight plastic tote . The size depends on your preference, but we think an 80 quart tote will allow you a great look. Find the area where you want to put your water feature and trace around the tote. Then dig out enough dirt so that the top of the container is flush with the ground. Next, get some larger rocks and place them in the bottom to hold the tote in place. If you want (and this is actually very important), place a pump into the container. Keeping the water moving helps to promote aeration throughout the pond and discourages the growth of pests like mosquitoes and algae. Use some more rocks to secure the pump. Now, here's where your creativity gets to shine! S...
