Use This Budget-Friendly Storage Item To Assemble The Ultimate Camping Snack Hack
Keeping track of all the snacks you want to bring along for your camping trip can be tricky. How do you pack light while still bringing all your favorite snacks? You may just toss a random assortment of cookies, crackers, and trail mix into a bag, but this always ends up taking up too much space in your backpack. Often, you end up bringing too much food, leaving the trip with half-full chip bags that taste faintly like bug spray.
However, there is an easy solution to this common camping nuisance, and it involves using a container used to hold fish hooks and other fishing gear. Affectionately named the "snackle box" by social media users, this genius hack involves converting a tackle box into a curated snack holder. For just $10 to $30, these handy storage containers come in a variety of shapes and organizational layouts, with options for every kind of snack lover. Opt for a classic three-tiered tackle box and store your snacks in the upper trays with room in the bottom for disposable silverware, spices, and napkins. You can also take up less space with a single-tray tackle box, only storing your favorite snacks and candies. This versatile hack is also great for the little ones, as you can make sure your kids have snacks handy without the hassle of having to open packaging and figuring out what to do with the leftover trash.
Using a snackle box for camping
If you go on TikTok, you will find hundreds of iterations of the snackle box, all showcasing their takes on the hack. Some videos show deluxe snackle boxes complete with candy, berries, and charcuterie staples, exemplifying just how creative you can get with your box. While it's a fun idea to bring a meat and cheese platter on the go, in the event of a camping trip, you will want to avoid perishable items. The best foods to bring that don't need refrigeration could be a variety of trail mix, dried fruits, granola, and any other favorite non-perishable camping snacks you want to bring along.
