Simple, yet effective

Simple, yet effective
August 4, 2014 by andreaonderweg

When you are on a holiday, you don’t have all the comforts of home. Often you are forced to improvise and simplify. Especially when you are hiking or camping, you’ll learn some handy tricks to deal with some unpleasant side issues. Your sweatshirt soon becomes your pillow, pegs are used to close and hold all sorts of items and plastic bags become your best friend. This photo was taken in France, where we had a lot of wasps surrounding our campsite. We cut up a bottle, put the neck in the bottom upside down and filled it with sweet syrup. After a couple of days it was already a hot spot for the wasps, and the odd ant.

Having an irrational fear of wasps I don’t think I could have handled that!
