🏕️ Unlock the Secrets of Tent Camping: 6 Insider Tips | Campsite Classes

Are you planning a tent camping trip but feeling overwhelmed by all the preparation and unknowns? Look no further. In this video, we'll share 6 insider tips to help you unlock the secrets of tent camping. These tips are based on years of experience and will help you make the most of your outdoor adventure. So grab your tent and let's get started:
1. Find a flat area, free of tripping hazards or sharp objects to set up your tent: When choosing a spot to set up your tent, make sure the ground is flat and free of any sharp objects or tripping hazards. This will ensure that your tent is stable and safe to sleep in.
2. Pack a small hammer to make installing tent stakes easier: Tent stakes are essential for keeping your tent in place, but they can be difficult to install without the right tools. Pack a small hammer or mallet to make the process easier and faster.
3. Keep the inside organized for maximum space and comfort: A cluttered tent can make it difficult to move around and can also be uncomfortable to sleep in. Keep your gear organized and stored in designated areas to maximize space and comfort. Use storage pockets or hanging organizers to keep your gear off the ground and within easy reach.
4. Hang gear for easy access at night: Hanging your gear from the ceiling of your tent can be a great way to keep it organized and within easy reach at night. Use carabiners or hooks to hang your backpack, clothes, and other gear from the tent's ceiling. This will also help keep your gear off the ground and away from any moisture or dirt.
5. Use a plastic woven outdoor rug to keep the inside clean: A plastic woven outdoor rug can be a great addition to your tent setup. It will help keep the inside of your tent clean and dry, and also provide a comfortable surface to walk on. You can also use the rug as a designated area for your shoes or other gear.
6. Position the door away from the campfire to avoid smoke: If you plan on having a campfire, make sure to position your tent's door away from the fire. This will help prevent smoke from entering your tent and also reduce the risk of any sparks or embers landing on your tent.
By following these tips, you can ensure a comfortable and safe tent camping experience.

    Most IMPORTANT from a long time tent camping expert. Place a tarp, slightly smaller than the tent underneath your tent. Make sure none of the edges of the tarp protrude past the tent bottom or if it rains the underside of the tent will get wet. Itwill keep the tent dry and less damp plus protect the bottom of your tent a d keep it cleaner.

    @@SgtBacalhau Because when you're backpack camping/hiking you generally want to save as much weight as possible. Instead of a lightweight tarp you can buy a tent footprint which does the same thing but is generally lighter. If you're really trying to save weight you dont really need one at all you just need to pitch your tent carefully.

    Tent stakes should go in perpendicular, so they are not pulled out, not parallel with the angle of force they are meant to oppose.

    Tent stakes should not be 45 degrees towards the tent but 45 degrees away from the tent, if that makes sense. The tent is a bit too close to the fire. You only need a regular Apple Watch for camping at a campground. Rocks are sufficient to hammer in tent stakes, but a hammer makes it more comfortable. And, everyone wants a flat campsite, but that’s never the case. When it’s not flat, try to orient your tent so that when you lay down, your head is higher than your feet.

    Check the weather forecast we thought it was going to rain on my scout camp so we camped under trees in a large group for better protection, nothing dried and a tree branch came down in the strong winds blocking our only way into the camp circle, yes our tents were that close together I didn’t say we were good scouts. Took two hours to move that hefty branch 😂😅 Edit: and if you were like me and got stalked a hair bobble/tie works as an improvised lock
