Dinner is done, the camp fire is lit, the kids are playing so you grab a bottle of beer or that bottle of wine you have been dreaming about all day. Time to relax! You start fishing around in your camp kitchen box for an opener. And that is when you realize it and it's all you can do but to yell out loud "Noooooooooooo!!!!!"
Much of what we do when camping is to improvise, meaning, figuring out how to make something work when we don't have all that we have at home. Here are some ways to get that beer bottle or the wine bottle open without an opener.
Now if you have a twist off...well problem solved. Or you could even ask to borrow an opener from someone at the next camp or check the camp store. But really what fun would that be?!

This post is part of the #AtoZChallenge where I will have 26 posts related to Family Camping.
Out blog hopping from North Carolina during the #Challenge. I love finding new blogs like yours along the way. Hope you have not given up, you are behind since this is letter S day. Had to laugh when I think of the incidents while opening wine...the one where you loose the cork in the bottle. I am visiting on the letter S day. I have been writing about hotels and inns this year as my theme. I stayed in a wonderful hotel in Seattle that made it into a second novel I wrote. If you have time or interest, please visit. Cheers.
Hi Stepheny! I have definitely not given up, just running into finding time to write with my kids on school vacation this week so I've gotten a little behind but plan to keep on going! I watched the videos a few times as well as they are pretty humorous and creative! Thanks for stopping by, reading and commenting and I will reciprocate!
