The Red Light of Hope - Against Insects

Bugs irritate me.  At best, they are a necessary evil.  At worst, they bite, and sting, and make us miserable.  Red tent lights are known to repel insects and I don't leave for the trail without one.  I made my own a while ago and thought you might like to also, to save money and ship time. You can do this in less than 5 minutes using stuff you already have.

Here's how to make your own red tent light for night time. One thing I've noticed is that red tent lights tend to be over $20. Who's got $20 for a light that you're only going to use when you go camping? It's ridiculous. So I made a video for you. Here's how to make your own for very little money using what you already have. As you all know, I'm cheap.

Frugal camping is about enriching ourselves even if it's only a $1.  But self-reliance is worth a hell of a lot more.  Self-reliance means FREEDOM!!!

I hope this helps someone in a small way to enjoy their next trip, bug-free, at almost zero cost.  That's really what cowboy camping is about:  Self-reliance, Ingenuity, Frugal and Prudent Approaches to Living.
