How to Make a Pop-Up Camper Into a Hunting Camper

A pop-up camper that is converted into a hunting camper without considering the special needs of hunters can cause an unsuccessful hunting experience for them. A camper that is customized with the hunters' needs in mind can cause them to return home smiling, with numerous catches. A camper that is designed with special attention to a hunter's clothing and accessories transforms the camper from a mere dwelling into a useful form of lodging. Pop-up campers can be transformed in a similar manner to create an enjoyable experience for fishing and other outdoor activities.

Instructions

    • 1

      Place a wooden pole across the width of the inside of the camper to create a place to hang clothes. Hang the pole twelve inches from the ceiling at a point that is 6 feet from the end of the camper. Fasten the ends of the pole to the side walls of the camper walls using a drill and screws. Hunters need multiple layers of clothing to keep warm, so the entire camper width is needed. Hang as many hangers as possible on the pole. Place a mattress on the floor directly behind the pole to create sleeping quarters. Following the same procedure, create a second sleeping quarters on the other side of the camper for use by additional hunters.

      Place a compact refrigerator along the camper wall near the middle of the camper. Plug the refrigerator into a generator. Place high energy producing foods into the refrigerator. Raisins, high-protein candy bars and energy drinks are preferable. These foods allow hunters to maintain strength for long hours. They are carried easily in a backpack and they do not require a large storage compartment.

      Place a cabinet against the wall that is opposite from the refrigerator. The cabinet should have an upper section with a door, and a lower section with shelves. Use the upper section to store guns. Stock the bottom two shelves with rope, tissue, flashlights, waterproof matches, a compass and binoculars. If summer is the current season, include insect repellent with the supplies on these shelves. Store ammunition in a metal box on the highest shelf, nearest to the guns.

      Place a mat on the floor near the the camper door. Use the mat to store hunting boots. After walking in them for an entire day, hunters return to the camper with boots that are dirty and coated with mud. Clean the hunting boots outside of the camper, and then place them on the mat near the door. This will help keep the inside of the camper clean.
